Repeat After Me
They are at it again. All I'm reading in
comments now on social media is "democrat
cities/states are shit holes", "democrat
governors are losers", "democrats are the blame
for everything". Some people sound as if they
think (I think) democrats are some kind of
disease that needs to be gotten rid of. Since
when did politics get this hateful and nasty?
Just ask yourselves that question. What I see is
people repeating exactly what the man in charge
is saying, no matter how untrue or ridiculous it
is. I actually read a comment where
someone welcomed a "king" for this country. That
is extraordinary. I wonder if they realize what
they themselves would be losing by having a
king. And this belief that democrats are stark
raving mad and want to destroy this country is
total BS. I am a democrat and I don't fit any of
the descriptions that I see and hear about
democrats, nor do any of the other democrats
that I personally know. Some people are
embracing lies and cursing the truth. I read a
comment yesterday that fits this scenario
perfectly -- ". . . some have made truth the
enemy". How sad it is to see so many repeating
untruths and ready to defend those untruths by
any means available. I just pray that we all,
even those who say they want it that way, don't
wake up one morning and find ourselves in a
country where we have no rights to free speech
or peaceful protest, where all we have the right
to do is what we are told to do and to be quiet.
And to realize that some would welcome this is
amazing to me. Extraordinary!
