We had dinner last night with friends we met a year ago. They are intelligent and very religious he is a deacon in their church. They are very kind snd funny and a delight to be around.
We never ever discussed politics because we are white and they are black. We went to their Baptist church and we could feel the leanings of politics. We do however discuss the divide and bigotry.
Yesterday we were discussing how much hate everyone has. His wife stated I cant believe what comes out of MTG mouth. I never heard such hateful words from someone. She needs thrown out.
I smiled and looked at her and said hello have you ever met Hillary Clinton.
She stated oh no she never said anything like that. She never conducts herself in that manner. I insisted she does and she commented I would like to see that.
My husband stated she plays to her audience. I added did you see her when she went to a church in the south and all of a sudden she is speaking with a black southern accent?
They looked at me like I was crazy.
We ended the discussion.
My husband and I at that moment realized that people believe the news only. There is so much brainwashing and in no way are people awake. Nothing on the news tells these people anything.
The whole experience yesterday has upset me because I really believed people were awake.
My two cents.
Gas prices, inflation, job loss, wax injuries…
not personal enough ?
For me yes! The people I live around nope, not all but many. my husband and I moved into an upper middle class neighborhood - we have a big family and not a lot of extra money like most families that have 1 or 2 maybe 3 kids- we have 6. I was so shocked that so many voted D in this area, they don’t pay attention to what’s going on. I had friend tell me Ukraines war is our war last year, her oldest child is 9 mine is 18. Her child wouldn’t get drafted mine would. So to her it’s about helping a country she thinks needs help not the sacrifice others would have to make. People in my neighborhood aren’t struggling to pay bills, they are still taking their trips to Paris, Florida, Cancun etc. so yeah it doesn’t affect them they don’t care yet. It’s sad
Recent US gov report on corruption in Ukraine
I have a good friend that lives in a wealthy area of Denver and he just loves goading me over my politics and Conservative leanings. Recently we got back on the Ukraine situation and when I explained to him how I’m not interested in spilling American blood for one of THE MOST corrupt countries in the world he asked “where are you getting that from? Probably far Right nut bags are telling you this..”.
So I dropped that link on his ass and it literally confused the hell out of him. He couldn’t make straight what he’s being told and reading about how we need to support Ukraine while at the same time our government is releasing documents like this. It’s been a week and I haven’t heard anything from him and that’s not normal, so maybe, just maybe,,, something finally got through to him.
Thanks for the info. I will be using it. 👍
I'm in mass. My whole family is liberal or outright communist socialist - except me. My mom and sisters are paycheck to paycheck and social security poor and they still blame the economy on Trump.
My family is in the middle class and we can still buy groceries and gas despite the rise in prices. It'll have to get a LOT worse before some people, especially the ones who are as blessed as my family, to wake up.
Loss of food or funds...
