Claire points to this article by Bari Weiss
I have said it several times; if reasonable discourse could take place, many on the left would find that we in the right aren’t really all that different. Not in our wants or needs, nor in some of what we believe. Personally, I think most of the division is being driven by media, and especially the echo chambers of the social media algorithms. People might think like that, but the majority do not operate like that: left OR right. The narrative takes the fringes under a microscope and projects them larger than life, espousing ‘this is the majority’. Blacks make up only 14% of American population, Gays even less, yet the Medias push an agenda to bring those numbers as a majority. (And I refuse to touch the kryptonite of ‘trans’ mental deviations. You only need to look at that POS appointee of FICUS Biden to see that the whole “idea” has issues.)
Almost every black person I have met over the last few years, several of whom are very important friends in my life, have voiced much the same concerns as my white friends, or my gay friends, or any other ethnic descriptor you choose. We all want to be treated equally and fairly. We want the right to do as we need to, win or lose, and we all think the government is out of its fuckin’ mind control. We see the B$ of what translates as ONE PARTY giving the illusion of choice, (and some will say “but there are other parties too!” Yup, and how much coverage do you EVER see of them? Zip! Zilch! Nada!!! They may as well exist in a Sci-fi pulp mag.) And to a person, no matter what color, sexual preference, religious bent, or financial status: all agree; the taxes have grown disproportionately to any semblance of representation.
Many will agree that the federalized police forces have been a bad thing. Many agree that aspecys of the RICO act have been twisted in grotesque ways. That rules by SEC are designed to keep certain ‘types’ out of the inner circle (recent activity there removed that veil).
That 30% of all bills presented to the floors of CON-gress become law no matter what public opinion is, should scare the shit out of any redblooded American. Thirty flippin percent!!! “We have to pass it to see whats in it!” I recall the horror I felt when I heard those words some twenty years ago. Those words were the tolling of the mourning bell for the country I grew up in. Where it was becoming normal to see cross racial relations openly, see gays holding hands in public without being villified, where people were ok with saying what the hell was on thier minds instead of self censorship like we have these days: fear of losing the ability to do a job you love because you might offend some thin skinned ‘Woke-ster’ that has more grudge on its shoulders than character in its liver. Even people on the left are starting to ask “WTF?” with the wind shifts these last 12 months.
Talk of deprogramming. Pass it to see whats in it. Calling a ginormous chink of the populace, radical extremists, plans to start gun registry (that ALWAYS leads to confiscation then even more horrible crimes) massive uncontrolled immigration, blatant refusal to consider option past the Big Pharma solutions (look what India is doing and see how one country used a cancer treatment drug that had a 96.66% success rate of curing patients on the last stage of this disease. 29 out of 30, total remission!!!)(interstingly enough, the email that I recieved about this, has been wiped from my email account (gmail, of course) so sorry I can not link to the article, but that helps reinforce my argument that social media tech is part of “our” problem.) Gaslighting the part of society “not on board” (like deleting emails for you so you question your own position and so others question your integrity as well.)
There is common ground to be found, but it is NOT at the government levels. The problem, IMO, is Government. And more and more Big Corps that have lobbied for big slices of GDP from the tax slaves.
We need to take back our power. We need to stop complying with diktats from questionable ‘leadership’. We need to re-educate the elected that they are EMPLOYEES; servants, not leaders.
This country was founded by throwing the yoke of Kings off our shoulders, but we see an elite class that act as if they were kings and queens and expect us to respond in kind. Re-read the words of Peelousey and others from Jan6 and you’ll hear the “divine right” dripping from the words.
If any need reprogramming, it is there; on that hill in DC, at every statist capitol still suffering lockdowns with no reason other than ‘I said’. Its time to stop being subservient to asshats that bleed us dry.
Watch to the end, please. Bill hits the nail squarely (and the remorse he exhibits mirrors mine,,,)
