Fantastic breath of fresh air-this gives us hope for future sanity in our culture. Genuine civilized debate with respect for others without a knee-jerk belief in the constant gaslighting that feeds the polarization-it’s baffling how blatant this has gotten. I think you are awesome thank goodness some people are stopping to think and curiously do a bit of research on what it is they believe. Critical thinking-determine whether beliefs can be backed up objectively or whether they were formed by covert propaganda campaigns. I am absolutely in agreement that we must truly think for ourselves instead of clinging to the feeling our beliefs are correct without actively researching-or whether our beliefs were simply formed due to euphemisms carefully designed to influence our opinions. Thank you-made my day. Early yet but still! I say GOOD for YOU. This is not a love bomb. I don’t agree with you on everything and that is ok. A critical thinker? What’s not to love!
This article resonated with me in a deep level. Once a democrat myself, I grown to hate the polarization of everything. The way it was expected of me to stand on every molehill and shout at the heavens that it was "my last stance" was not only tiring but inauthentic. Purity test of beliefs, no, people were not happy I didn't completely check all the list.
I was not willing to wear the badge of woke, thus I left and was excommunicated. And although I would never wear a red MAGA hat (although I have no issue with people who do), I was still welcomed by people who wanted the same as I do--Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
I do not think we are a lost cause, as Trump got his landslide. The American people are fine.
