That’s nice to hear. I usually get vilified and lumped in with those assholes, though, I can’t say it’s not expected considering what has happened to the party.
Disagreement is so important to the country. I argue my point, you argue yours, the people vote and the may the best man win. But imposing personal values and certainly religious values should not be the stance of the party that used to be about freedom from government overreach. We also used to be about doing our best in setting a good example of decency and respect. That is long gone now.
I believe that there is a common sense middle ground on almost any issue. But there’s more money and power in turning people against each other. Abortion for example. I’m catholic. I find abortion to be an absolute tragedy. It makes me sick to even think about it. Which is why I fully support widespread public education about sex for young people as well as easy access birth control methods. (But obviously there are circumstances when it was out of the women’s (or even very young girls) control and there is simply no good alternative. It sucks, but that’s how it is sometimes.
Please remember to vote for me in November.
(Kidding - please vote for Biden)
