I’ve been called a “lefty” (is that an insult?) so many times in the past 6 months, I’m not sure what to do with it. I voted for the SK Party in 2016. I voted Conservative in 2019. In 2020 things changed. I stepped back and looked at things without the influence of many...1/3
I had listened to for years. I saw the racism I knew was there. I saw the priorities I pretended were OK. And I saw more that I previously explained away as a Conservative voter. It’s...weird when you step outside your circle and listen to new perspectives. 2/3
I learned. I changed. I challenged that old way of thinking. Yet in the past 6 months I’ve rec’d more insults and threats from Cons here than I did for a decade as one of them. What does that tell you? What does that show? It shows me I’m glad I left when I did. 3/3
