… and branches!

Then why do we have Trump again?? There is nothing good about him.

Honestly I think that's a symptom of poor education... but yep, I feel ya!

racism, xenophobia and misogyny mixed in.

All of these are related to poor education…not just academic but social education due to lack of experience/exposure to challenge biases.

I've lived in small towns. They complain that when their kids moved to the city, they got brainwashed into becoming liberals. Clueless. Being exposed to diversity and other cultures instead of stereotypes opens your eyes and heart. Small town thinking is that way on purpose. They fear change.

I have never left my small town. There is nothing small regarding my intelligence. As a lifelong democrat, it’s my philosophy to change hearts & minds from within. It requires strategic nuance. It worked to get Obama elected. Trump is dividing us. We must relentlessly disrupt his false confidence.

I agree but it’s hard not to get discouraged when the majority are working against you. Our community kept electing an old dynasty, making it hard to break through to some folks but we were making slow progress. We had a great group of Democrats and Independents in our town.

In my case, I reside in a rural PA town. Our job got infinitely harder when Musk promised a $20 million lottery to people that vote for Trump (to be given in $1 million prizes). They also courted apolitical Amish votes. 3 counties vote totals are still being investigated. Discouraged? No. Angry? Yes

Fox & Frightwing radio entertainers provide Poor Education for Free.

And now Prager U is positioning to replace PBS and NPR 🤦

We are a Gaslit Nation.

truth … 😞

There’s a time and a place to bring that barbarian into a conversation. This was not it. This lovely video literally demonstrated “common ground”.

Won’t be anymore of these “lovely videos” if we don’t stop the barbarian. Get it? There is no “common ground” with fascists. My moniker is pre-Trump. Guess I’ll have to change it 🤷🏾‍♂️

I’m aware of the dire situation. It’s literally every second of everyday w/calls to Senators, Representatives, Governors, protests. Did mentioning it in a dog video post change it? No. Hence the time & place reference. Leave political comments off people attempting an ounce of escapism joy.

You’re White. you can afford escapism and joy. Don’t tell me what and where to f’in post.

If you want to spend all your energy venting on a DOG page, knock yourself out. I will happily use my “white privilege” to fight along side you where change can ACTUALLY occur. This isn’t it.

Don’t care what you think but keep up the fight!

That’s the difference between you & me, I DO care what you think. I’ve been passionately fighting since Reagan was President. Wisdom taught me how to conserve energy for maximum effectiveness. The dog w/a stick was my tiny bit of self-care today. Here’s to hoping equality & common ground prevail.
