I did not pen this.

"Just a note for my right leaning family and friends from my left leaning self as we near v****g day:
They say we want to disband police departments (and that we h**e the police): we don’t, that’s a lie.
We want to weed out r****m and unnecessary police brutality and for those who abuse their power to be held accountable.
They say we want to release all prisoners: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want to weed out r****m and ensure the punishments match the crimes and to deprivatize prisons.
They say we want open borders: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want asylum seekers to be given their chance to seek asylum. We want to help people who are coming from unimaginable terror and poverty help to give them the chances we have. We want to ensure children aren’t separated from their parents and that nobody is kept in cages. But we do want proper vetting.
They say we want to take away your guns: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want logical gun control to help prevent mass shootings.
They say we want to wage a war on Christianity and Christian values: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want people of all religions to be able to practice and worship freely.
They say we want to get everything for free: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want to work hard and make sure that healthcare and education are affordable for all.
They say we want a war against traditional marriage: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want people of all sexual orientations to be able to love freely, no matter who you love.
They say we want to destroy or rewrite history: we don’t, that’s a lie. We want to recognize the ugly parts of our past and do everything we can to say “that’s not okay, let’s not honor those aggressors, let’s not let those things happen again”.
They say we want to take away your constitutional rights: we don’t, that’s a lie. We choose to believe science and wear masks and try to prevent the spread of this disease.
They say we h**e America: we don’t, that’s a lie. We just recognize our faults and want us to do better, be better.
Stop with the us vs. them. Stop with the straw man arguments. Stop with the f**e news. Stop with fox news. Our position is one of empathy, compassion and logic. Stop believing the hype. Stop with the division. Just because we want e******y for all doesn’t mean we want to take anything away from you."

I'm sure this will be moved to the attic, but I wanted to express my agreement with it before it goes. Well written.

It was meant for the Attic. My mistake.
Please, someone put this in the Attic.

As a Brit it warms my heart to hear this from an American.

Why do you tell lies? You act as if your party is of one mind and that you can speak for your party, sorry my friend, you are becoming a dinosaur in your party, they have left you behind.

Kraken Loc: Barry's Bay

No they haven't, he is cutting edge. He is more aware of what is going on than you with your

closed minded thinking.

Blurryeyed Loc: NC Mountains.

WTF do you know crackhead?

Kraken Loc: Barry's Bay

A hell of a lot more than these closed minded kool-aid drinking drinking

trump cult member that you adhere to.

Blurryeyed Loc: NC Mountains.

You don't even seem to have a handle on the English language, C*****rs, you don't have the aptitude to go head on with me and I tire of your BS.

Kraken Loc: Barry's Bay

Then go back under the rock you just crawled out from, nobody missed you here.

Blurryeyed Loc: NC Mountains.

LOL.... C*****rs, you and your country are nothing more than ticks on a big dog's ass and you don't like the food the dog is eating... What a life you have C*****rs.

Kraken Loc: Barry's Bay

I can always tell when you can't come up with anything else you ALWAYS have

something to say about Canada and this time it's another repeat of yours. I think if

memory serves, they are all repeats.

Blurryeyed Loc: NC Mountains.

Memory does not serve you well C*****rs, I am just pointing out how ridiculous it is that you are so invested in US politics when you have no real skin in the game, your life seems to revolve around US politics, without it your life would become nothing more than a void, an empty space... It is sick that this is how you spend your days, you have a problem, you really should do some reflection on what is happening to you.
