It feels as if this country is ushering out a bunch of bad vibes. I was never really much into politics, but I tell you this: I've never seen so much hate, division, and dissention in this country in my entire life. I see the worst of it on social media. In my case, I have one social media site that I use and the people I have on it as "friends" are all people that I know in real life. They are either blood relatives, friends in real life that I've known for a long time, or they are from Narcotics Anonymous. What really gets me are the constant barrage of name calling and mud slinging of people bashing their opponent's party. I have 57 friends on this site and as a democrat I'm constantly getting accused of being a rotten atheist and a cheater. Really people? I can only conclude that the right wing republicans that keep posting this shit, including some blood relatives don't know me at all. I am not in fact an atheist, nor am I a dirty cheater. As far as I'm concerned, the real cheater is Donald Trump who won his 2016 election by ill gotten gains. I won't get any further into that, but since 2016, these damn right wing people that insist on mud slinging and constant name calling are the reason I log on to see if I have any private messages, visit my spiritual group that I have on there, and then leave. What I find hurtful is that I've known these people for years. Perhaps I could "unfollow" the worst offenders, but I feel like saying, "Look if that is how you really feel about me and all democrats, then perhaps we shouldn't be friends." I disagree with Trump followers and right wing republicans, however I don't ever show them any such disrespect that they have shown me. I'm willing to sit down and listen to other people's points of view without being a disrespectful asshole. Okay I'm done ranting. I just wish people would think first before shooting off their damn mouths via their devices.
