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.
Thank you for giving me something to think about and taking the time to write this.
