I keep circling back to this. I've typed out several replies, decided against posting them, and moved on. I'm not sure how to say anything in our current environment without it being political or offensive to someone. I'll just say this.
In a few minutes of conversation with literally anyone, I can tell which method of brainwashing they expose themselves to. If they watch left wing propaganda, they think that political party cares about them, and wants to "help" them have a better life. If they watch the right wing propaganda they think the left wants to ruin their lives. Neither is true. The answer to all of our nation's problems is in the middle....and can only be achieved by sitting aside our bias. Compromise is the way we actually get things done. That isn't possible by supporting tribal leaders. I'm tired of seeing my countrymen being pitted against each other....so I pray for unity.
