It’s widely reported by conservatives who make this stuff up all the time, so, it must be true, yes? Have to keep that divide going or maybe we’ll find a way to talk to each other. And the right is full of hate as well. Everyone hates everyone.
But what if we found we didn’t hate each other? What if it turns out it’s not true? Hate is a big word. An inflammatory word. There may be a small part of the population that is in full hatred mode, but I don’t think it is the majority of folks.
What if we didn’t fall for that characterization?? Believe it without question?
Then, oh-the-horror to politicians that need the divide, maybe we’ll find a way to get along. Maybe we’ll figure out what we want in common.
Then! Maybe we won’t need politicians who look for ways to make themselves and other rich people richer as the main goal in serving this country.
THEN We might boot them out of office.
THEN!! We vote in folks who want to fix problems, not just be right, or in control, or force their narrow agenda. The world might become a better place…
I vote for that. Literally… I vote for that.
