I have no respect for ANY Republican at this point and anything they have to say has to be taken with a huge pinch of salt since it's been proved lying comes quite easily to them...
Thankfully, you're wrong. Every Monday the wife and I walk with another couple. We're Dems, they're true-blue GOP, they're devout Christians, we are not. The wives talk about family, us guy talk anything else (except sports). He has somewhat different values than I do but he would not knowingly lie. He has been lied to and I've taken him to task for not doing his homework better, but he has a life and can't spend every waking moment fact checking news. There are news sources and people he trusts and they have often betrayed him but he doesn't see me as the evil, leftist enemy and he is someone I'd trust with my life money.
I wish you luck! I've unfortunately seen too much injustice in my 63+ yrs to overlook indescretions, mistakes, or unawares being used as an excuse in politics that affect so many! We're tripping over information; most decide to just "wave it off!" That's them, I unfortunately internalize and hang open-mouthed as half this fk'n country is siding with a psychopath! Proud Boys burned another Black church over the weekend! Am I supposed to not make note that the Klansman-in-Chief has nothing to say about it? Those are his foot-soldiers!
I've never had a problem with cops; been treated well and respectfully at all times, but how do people ignore death after death over simple traffic offenses? We see videos of Black men being choked out with people watching! They not only don't GAF, the cops are made to be the victim of a video and the liberal MSM! Why can't any of these people say
"we fk'd up?" Anyone who can ignore these sort of stories can't be part of my circle! I make people responsible for what's going around us! How many people have to die before we say
"enough?"
I technically trust the gov't, but I know it's wretched history of Tuskeegee, the systematic genicide of Native Americans, and a host of other attrocities if looking for a lesson! Trump of course has blown up any integrity we may have had; many just allowing lawlessness at the top! FNC is sewing the seeds of "whatever" with their repeated and unwarranted attacks on Hunter Biden! This is the same network that thought the Trump kids should be allowed carte blanche because daddy's president! I'm just done with the hypocrisy because it's only gotten worse over the years with Republicans thinking they should be allowed to do anything they damn well please and
Dems can do nothing right! If we get painted by that same brush, it only makes me turn it back on them and say
"ALL REPUBLICANS are ....!" It isn't fair, but playing nice has only gotten us where we are now! If you think we're in good shape, my rant won't change your mind! I will terminate anyone in my circle that can defend ANYTHING Republicans do these days including trying to disenfranchise millions of Black votes! They're a destructive force that truly showed their arses during Obama's tenure! They could barely stomach mentioning the man! If they want to say they aren't
bigots and racists, send me your email and I'll send you pictures and articles of the Republican Leaders showing they're as common as trash on the Appalachian Trail! I have little reason to take any Rep. seriously again!
