Yeah I didn't expect you to take my advice but that won't stop me from giving it. For someone so focus on dictating the topic you sure do spend a lot of time trying to make things personal. That working out for ya?But I gotta bolt out for a short bit, but I'll be b-a-a-a-ck. Pinky swear.
The OP asked about beliefs and reality.
I believe in Freedom. Liberty. Government that functions with a purpose and for the people. All of the people.
Government has been weaponized by both sides. It continues to function in ways that it was neither intended nor empowered. Trump tried to use some of that reality to get things done that would serve the needs of Americans. He also abused the power that his position afforded him nearly to the point of bypassing the election process in favor of more monarchist system. While that could work in the short term those left to manage it beyond the Trump regime would likely have brought much worse results than we see with the current administration.
Anyone who honestly believes that one party is working towards a concept that my beliefs support is on some level delusional or misguided.
So I don't care if are more Liberal or Conservative there is room for all of that within our nation. Gay? Cool welcome to the club. We are all freaks in the sheets in one way or another that doesn't fit someone else's version of sexuality. Immigrant? Awesome. If we had an actual system in place to manage illegal immigration I would have more energy to argue consequences for those entering unlawfully. But at this point that is not the case so I don't blame the person who sought a better life in America as they as people are not a threat to my Freedom and Liberty.
So you won't find me flying the flag for a party or jumping onto the bandwagon thinking that will solve anything. I stay about solutions and casting a vote for Trump or Biden in November is not about that. Not even close. The 2024 election could be an even that puts both parties on notice and inspires some actual progress but no its a shitshow that will only perpetuate a reality that works against what I believe in favor of further securing a ruling class that is not accountable to those who fund it on any real levels.
I am not scared. The shit has already hit the fan. I am not hopeful either because we as a people continue to either pick a red or blue flag and wave it in hopes that more people will choose our color than the other. Originally Posted by DNinja69
