Bigotry. Isolationism. Arrogance. Lies. Kids in Cages. Pandemic raging out of control. Hate your neighbor. Corruption and prison sentences left and right. Never before seen deficits. Backing out of anti-nuke treaties with Russia, Iran. And just general assholery. And yet, people are still saying, “I’ll vote for that!” We’ve got to figure out why they hate the left so much that anything else seems palatable. If not, the pendulum is just going to swing back into the cult of corruption in 2024.
Yes, the demons over at Fox News do a good job of whipping people into a frothing frenzy every day, but there’s something more to it. Could it be that our version of Woke is just a little to wack for most people? Are you clutching your pearls for me even suggesting that? If so, that just proves my point. So instead of the left attacking itself with ‘purity tests’, and expelling our own members over trivial transgressions, how about we just agree on some middle-of-the-road type of decency… show our friends and neighbors what that is through our words and actions – and build from there? You attract more bees with honey than you do with vinegar, as my grandma always said.
