My personal experience is that there are far more kind, fun, creative and compassionate people than jerk faces. It's not easy to remember every day but I believe it's true 🌺

And many are right here.
That's cute.
If only they had voted …
I'm not so sure about that.
I believed it until 2016...no so sure anymore
Ik ben er! En ik ben heel lief! 🥰
When you consider the effort and resources the system puts into crushing empathy and promoting selfishness; it's amazing how many acts of compassion and kindness you see.
I think so, too...
It is so very true, you dont always see it or hear it because those people are actually out there taking care of other people.
Well said. The loudest ones are usually the ones not doing the work but those quiet, compassionate folks? They’re out there showing up for people every day, no spotlight needed.
But the jerk faces are so. loud.
On purpose
I believe that’s true. I also believe a disproportionate number of jerk faces are currently holding power in high positions and that we lack the collective ability to put them in their place if they continue to hold power.
Based on voting, 30% of the people are jerks, 30% are kind and compassion, and 40% don’t think voting is worth the effort. That 40% includes people too overwhelmed by their lives too make time to vote and those too self centered to care. They probably don’t present as jerks.
The hard truth is, some folks aren’t voting because life is just too much. And others? They’re just coasting, thinking it’s someone else’s problem. And like you said, they don’t look like jerks… but their inaction can speak volumes.
Yes. The people who say ‘I don’t really pay attention to politics’ and ‘the news is so depressing’ are the ones I am the angriest at. The cult is brainwashed - they are like addicts but not to drugs and alcohol, but to superiority and hate. I see how people with kids and 3 jobs don’t have bandwidth.
But the single people watching sports and shopping infuriate me.
And then there's also people that are like... there's an election? Them not knowing also frustrates us when we just can't remind them on the day of the election. It's gotta be done well beforehand. Then there's also those that tried to vote or voted provisionally, yet sadly their vote didn't count.
Me too! It's what keeps everything going.
THOSE PEOPLE need to VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, just go to a demonstration and you see it everywhere.
I believe this too, but tbh, since 1/20/2025 it’s gotten more difficult to believe this…
I judge Americans by the last election. There is no mystery who Trump is. Half of America approves.
it is true. The jerkfaces just make more noise…..
I want to live on your planet. (I don’t mean that sarcastically. I genuinely wish I still felt that way about humans but lately I’ve been struggling a bit with anyone that isn’t canine…. 🐶)
And among the kind, fun, creative, compassionate, you are in the top 1%, Abby ❤️
Aw you are too kind, my friend!
No, you are
💕
jerk faces unfortunately are louder and get more airtime
and somehow always find the already damaged.
You're not wrong.
I used to believe that, before my county and state became a training ground for marshall law. Before I watched as innocent people were tackled, shackled, and taken away. Before my country boasted about building a tent jail in the middle of an alligator swamp. Before our President became a dictator.
I used to think that. Not so sure anymore.
💯
Jerkfaces are easier to consolidate and use for nefarious purposes... Kind, fun, and creative/compassionate people dropped the ball. Need to remain responsible people, too.
I always thought that too but sometimes, with all the hate and cruelty right now it’s hard to believe it’s still true.
Me too, Abby. There's a "squeaky wheel" thing going on. Us creative kind compassionate ones have to get LOUD.
I hope you’re right.
Agreed!
The good folks are busy doing good things, that's why we notice them less.
Yup, agreed but those people are not in charge right now….
Not enough of them voted in the last election though
Jerk faces is the expression of the day
Me too 🤗
But those people do not have control in this country. And actually I disagree..
You're an optimistic, it's about 50:50 IME.
I believe you but the bad ones are pushy and loud and relentless, so we must be too.
Agreed. But the jerk faces' volume and obnoxiousness belie their numbers. Non-jerk faces are not loud and obnoxious, and certainly do outnumber them - by a vast amount!
you are truly an example of a kind, fun, creative, compassionate, glorious, amazing, ONE GAZILLION OUT OF 10 YEP human and indeed a few other examples as well in this world to remind us all that we must keep fighting I HAVE SPOKEN
well you BOTH are great, how bout THAT
if by both you mean ABBY AND YOU then I CONCUR WHOLEHEARTEDLY I HAVE SPOKEN AGAIN
Haha AND YOU TOO
Tony, I am so lucky that you're my friend! 😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️ Thank you!! 😭
I used to believe that. Now I believe the majority of people are extremely stupid, or sociopathic, or some combination thereof. There are still some intelligent, benevolent people but they are the exception.
Yes. But unfortunately, the jerk faces are louder
If they would only stay informed.
I’m counting on it 🙏
But it RULES to be a jerk to someone like Stephen Miller or Jessie Waters. Like a real Jerky McJerkjerk.
Very true! Our brain is hardwired to remember the assholes as a defense mechanism. We truly meet more good people than bad. Hard to believe sometimes but it's true.
Thank goodness!
The fact is we are all kind, fun, compassionate, etc AND we are all jerk faces. The Trump voter who wants concentration camps, also volunteers at the local church or helps sick kids. That's the great tragedy. Rarely does anyone realize that they are the villain in these cases. They put blinders on.
I agree. It's just harder to be aware of that, because the jerks are so loud and "in your face".
there are, and you are one
😊
I’ve met some of the kindest, most genuine souls just through my kid. Being a parent kind of pulls you into circles where compassion and creativity thrive. And hey… I’m still holding out hope that one of those kind hearted,slightly sassy types might just cross paths with me when I least expect it. 😉
I am a kind, fun, creative, compassionate asshole.
It is true💙
I’ve always wondered what, “my impersonal experience “ kinds of comments would be like.
Now you know
👍
I hear ya. Agree. But the jerk faces get the attention/media. The kind ones act quietly and don't need or want the attention. You're right too, it's not easy to remember that. So, thank you, sincerely, for reminding me. ❤️ It helps.
It’s true!
You’re clearly part of that 30% that’s still out here giving a damn—and trust me, it shows. 🌺
It's true.
Why are the jerk faces so fucking loud? That's my question.
