#7 This whole thing about the word shithole, really? Everyone there denies he said it, with the exception of one, but its a good reason to derail DACA. Neither side wants DACA fixed, the divisiveness feeds votes and cash. So lets pick an irrelevant, possibly made up, statement and use it to stop this. The only thing Trump has done here is to put congress on the spot to come up with and answer. But they wont. If you ask most republicans, they want resolution as much as anyone, so do the dems. But they don't want to lose a decisive issue that drive voters. If the dems wanted it fixed they could under Obama, but it never was really taken serious. The republican could have driven it as well. Trump is trying to tell both sides to sit down, act like adults and get something done.
And now on to the bigger issue: since when did I become a misogynous bigoted, racist, gay hating bigot??? I have not. Since when has many of my friends that are dems become haters, one step short of fascists? They also have not. This nation is completely divided, and will fall, unless we the people act. There is a fight for this nations soul. It not the right vs the left, as they would like us to believe. It not our corrupt political elites, they have always been corrupt, its human nature. The fight for our soul really took place with the internet and the 24 hour news cycle. The press has sewn this nation into a divisive hate filled shithole that has turned families inside out. Our judicial, executive and representative branches have been undermined by the corporate press.
I have a friend that recently stated she hated Trump, wished he was dead. This woman is a Christian, from the hills of West Virginia. I cant find another person that lives her Christian values more than her. Yet she is now blasting hate, how did this happen? Its not because Trump is the devil, he's not. He is human, and will make some good and bad decisions, like every president. But how did the information driven to her drive her away from her Christian values? I see it on the right as well. This is not a left right thing, she is just an incredible example of how this constant bombarding of lies and hate can normalize the hate.
Obama say it early, he made nice with the press, supported their narratives. And for that the press put halo's around him in photos like he is the second coming. I believe this issue really took root when the Clintons made strategic decisions based on surveys, and the press controls the methods, Trump win proves the polls are manipulated to try and drive results.
We the people have a real problem. The corporate press is fighting for the very soul of our nation. The politicians blow in the winds, prostituting themselves for votes. The press run 24 hour propaganda shows calling themselves news. But they are not. They drive to audience segments, dividing and spewing hate. They hide behind the 1st amendment, spouting free speech. But we the people drink it up like its true, we are fools listening to pied pipers on both sides leading us off a cliff.
If we are to have a constitution, if we are to have a 1st amendment we e have to figure out how to hold the press accountable for their lies. We have to find a way to stop the propaganda machines cloaked as news. We have to understand that I am no more a bigot now than I was 8 years ago and that my friends are the same as they were. We have to get past this and shut down the corporate news machines that are taking our souls, one person at a time... |
