It's not an easy thing to step into the ring for fear of getting punched in the nose. Serving your community-at-large, let alone the nation, is a calling, an honor.
It's even harder to be judged. But maybe it's not supposed to be easy. There are inherent risks in life, politics ought not STILL be one of those, so say our Founding Fathers.
The British are coming.
The British are coming.
Leadership comes from a place deep within one's soul, one's character. To be an effective leader, however, one must be an excellent follower, a stellar listener & be open to suggestions, advice, and criticism. To be fluid. Embrace progress. Evolve.
Good stewardship (leadership), after sharing one's vision or common goals, is a rather easy task with like-minds.
Challenges arise when you try to convey your ideas as legitimate, plausible solutions or shifts in the status quo, to those with different perspectives, backgrounds, loyalties, and significant life experiences, including formal education levels, influencers, closed minds, negative personalities, and types and sources of consumed information.
We must ALL endeavor to be reasoned, thoughtful, kind, human beings. Cherish our freedoms. Savor our differences. Life can be fun, exciting, fulfilling, rewarding, & enriching, but only if we become enlightened, nice, tolerant, and generous.
Disagree! Thats find. But STOP THE HATE. STOP MAKING DEATH THREATS. STOP BEING UGLY. GOD DOES NOT LIKE UGLY. HELLO!
If you're mentally disabled: Please seek help. We want you here. We want to be safe.
You can be apart of the solution.
The ideas put forth on this website are open for debate. But starting the dialogues is what matters, most.
Our way of life is being compromised. For some reason, fluoride in our drinking water is perhaps finally giving us creepy MAGA ideas.
It affects the best of us. Everyone knows January 6th was not an unscheduled "tour" of loyal American Patriots. Congress members and Senators, ALL MAGA Redcoats, use their intellect, in bad actor ways. They know better. It's laughable. News pundits are equally shameful.
We know what we saw. We don't need it dumbed down for the blind base. We know who is responsible for instigating the rage on our citadel of democracy.
We use to recognize false idols.
We use to be smarter.
We used to be better.
Why are we so threatened?
Many who hate, learned to hate.
We owe it to ourselves to figure that out.
Just look how angry people are. People are rightly concerned. Violence is percolating. Pressure is building. Something has to present itself, soon, to de-escalate.
Governments perpetuate this hostility.
If it bleeds, it leads. Media plays their role.
Denying women their [inalienable] rights.
Denying citizens their [inalienable] rights to vote, or accept a bottle of water while standing in line for hours, under extreme conditions, just to cast their ballot.
Gerrymandering districts to stack the deck.
False electirs...
All Redcoat schemes to lie, steal, cheat.
Where is the honor in that?
All of this is happening because the EXTREME (MAGA) Republican Party have lost their ever-loving minds. The GOP is dying out. Their ideas, if they have any are mundane and outdated. They MUST lie, steal, cheat, and manipulate legislation, the news, and you, to stay in power.
Power, being the operative word!
I was proud of the older Republican Party. Nowadays, the extreme few, those with marbles for brains, are cock-blocking all manner of legislation, choosing instead to investigate the president's son, based on Russian disinformation. The other key informant, with Chinese ties, is on the lamb.
One suggestion I have, to lessons the anger and frustration is to make sure people are heard!
It's wholly frustrating to constantly be ignored.
I can't explain the significant surge in conspiracy theories, other than to speculate its based on mistrust generated by the Republician nonsense spewed on alternate airwaves. It's a systematic mind-fuck!
To wit: Sandy Hook massacre never happened, and this was merely a staged event using actors. Good grief.
Or than we never landed a man on the moon or the US Government is behind the 9/11 tower disaster.
Something is haywire in those promoting such ugliness. Perhaps it's a defense mechanism in their human minds to explain away unimaginable tragedies.
Greed is also a contributing factor. #FoxNotNews #CashGrab Utimatr consequence was an initial near $B settlement. More to come.
Cashing in on grief is about as low a form of depravity as it gets. Thank goodness there are severe financial consequences!!!
I guess the larger question is why a subset of humanity believes such filth, as fact.
If you don't agree with them, you must be a pedophile or have Trump Derangement Syndrome. Or drink baby blood.
The belief that the 2020 election was stolen is such a fraud put upon the backs of Americans, it can't be overlooked as the greatest con in this, or the last century.
Has no one considered the source!?
This was a documented, manufactured, inspired hoax. That's why common sense is so important.
In any event, it's time for a reasonable third party to represent our nation from within the middle-class majority. We can do this!
Our nation has so much potential. So much talent. So much loss. So much hope. Maybe a sole figurehead has outlived it relevance. Or that the BEST our nation has to offer are two 80-year-old men, well past their prime. One, a true patriot, the other, a charlatan.
Politics is not for the faint of heart.
President Biden would have done this nation and himself a supreme kindness with his goodwill gesture in passing the torch for the good of democracy, and the soul of our nation.
In the meantime, perhaps a new dawn (fingers crossed) will reveal the Kodel Party as the next iteration of the American dream, as the necessary political life blood resustitation for America the Beautiful.
