I agree. I'm willing to set political differences aside for the purpose of coming together and standing against politicians on both sides who actively work against regular people like us.
We just need to start speaking out against the vocal minority.
The old "Meet John Doe" came up on my library movie recommendation recently. While tediously long, the concept is brilliant and there is some great dialogue exchange. Like other Frank Capra movies, it is about the 'little people' creating solutions outside the edicts of the ruling class. Unlike elitist Herbert Marcuse and his ilk, I think much culture bubbles up from the bottom. It just gets co-opted as a tool by powerful. Just look at how tech titans dress. They co-opt the 'bro' look in clothes that cost the same as someone's monthly rent.
Your article makes clear that you recognize that you're not alone in those thoughts. Independent thinkers are more prevalent than we realize, mostly because we're not so annoyingly noisy about it. That needs to stop. I shared a similar view not long ago here:
You are most certainly not alone. If you ever want to run anything past a like-minded person, you can email me at ZepharethLedbetter@gmail.com. Great article, Jim. ZL
It’s hard uniting with people who want to force policies on you that a grown man dressed as a woman can come in the bathroom with me and my daughter . Or gender affirming mental health care pushing agendas in our schools.
I agree the powers that be shift the focus to these issues so we do stay divided so they stay in power.
I think your sentiments sum up the vast majority of us. We have to keep rebuilding the bridges with neighbors because officials keep bombing them.
Thanks K.E.
