When empathy is a bad word to you; when caring for the planet is a bad thing; when other people are bad because of how or where they were born; when you call facts lies and lies facts; when your first instinct after a tragedy is to make up a lie about it; when everything—as in EVERYTHING— is seen in the light of how it reflects upon your ‘leader’; when that leader is a proven and convicted liar, cheat, sexual predator, and felon; when you cannot read these words without saying, “That’s not fair!
Oh, thank you. A friend posts reasonable, factual articles and writings on his FB page, and another friend constantly does that damn "both sides" bs. People pile on because those comments are ridiculous, and usually untrue - though not always. I try to be gracious, because if my friend loves him, and my friend approaches dalai lama level. It's best only to see the post and move along. What is more bothering is not that person, who is old, not long for the world, but young people holding similar beliefs. We should be past tribalism.
Hard day. Hard year. Hard four years.
No argument.
Exactly!!

Yes. We are past the point where we need to start speaking very plainly....calling a spade, a spade.
Interesting question to pose.
