As my wise mother cautioned me in the late 60s when I was protesting the Vietnam War, do not allow yourself to be a pawn especially for those who advocate violence - think for yourself - and remember changing the definition of a word empowers it. Those words ring today.
I can't let go of those ideals because they speak of a civilization that respects differences of opinions. Our country is unrecognizable! Because there are no repercussions for criminals, anti-semites, organized political hate, our country has lost definition. So called leaders lack common sense. Educators nurture bias. And the worst part is the "influencers" are the new rock stars to the youth.
And not surprisingly, they don't care that 35,000 Iranians protesters were murdered for their desire to live in a free society.
The problem is as you said, nothing is perceived with objectivity because the platform of the new undemocrat party is hate for our president.
What do we do when the demands of one side require the disenfranchisement of the other side in order to be satisfied? I don’t believe this is a ‘both sides’ problem anymore.
Based on actual results, one side can no longer make credible claims that they can deliver prosperity for the majority of citizens. Instead they campaign on cult of personality, identity attributes, and a sort of secular self righteousness.
Many hate Trump because he harshly exposes the damage they do to the country and they have nothing positive to counter him with. So they resort to lying, tantrums, and inciting violence.
If they are so smart, why can’t they come up with something better to offer?
Again, you nailed it!
