I get it, we all have a lot of strong and differing opinions on politics. But stop letting the news and politicians tear us apart. Families disowning each other, lifelong friends walking away... are you all insane? These are people that have loved and cared for you.
When it is 2 in the morning and your house burned down, is your political leader answering his phone? Late to a job interview, your media personality dropping everything to get you there on time? Lose a pet, are you calling your Represenitive’s 800 number?
You are pushing away the very people that have been there for you. The ones whose shoulder you cried on, whose couch you’ve flopped on, who rescued your child when you got stuck in traffic, who held your hand when you were sick.
At the end of the day, those are the people you should value. Those are the people who’s opinions you should respect enough to listen to. Start finding the middle ground at home.
Once we do that, let’s hold the politicians accountable for abandoning those they serve. The media for feeding us one fear laden story after another. We will never agree on everything, but if you start with the common ground, I think you’ll be amazed how little we disagree on.
