Thank you for the measured reply. Honestly, I know it takes effort, possibly doubly so for you. I’ve always been of the mind that if a policy or idea makes sense, if it’s actually good, I’ll support it. Whomever else supports it doesn’t matter to me, or their reasons. Every day people make the right choices for the wrong reason, and I say let them make those choices. The issue for every single one of us, myself included, is that our perception of right and wrong is always marred by our experiences, our personal perspective.

An example of this is I will vote Biden just to make sure Trump doesn’t end up in power again. I foresee a future under his dictatorship where many will suffer. Not because of him, because his base and the Republicans that bow to him, will become emboldened, and the people that know how, will manipulate him. As we’ve seen: What many of us would consider rash choices or unwise decisions are daily drivers for the Far Right. Yet many of them likely believe they’re correct, some of them justified under unusual circumstances in their minds, others having essentially spent a life time only listening to specific rhetoric.

If any reader makes it this far, thank you. I dislike choosing sides and believe that the majority of us simply wish to live a good life. Even the ones who only wish for others to have a bad life are inversely projecting on their desires to have it better themselves. This divide in our culture is orchestrated and it’d be wonderful if we stopped dancing to the movement of the strings held by the weathly and influential.
