Now insert conservatives\/republicans. They\u2019ve been called every name in the book. Been made to feel inferior. Called racist with no evidence or base to the claim. Been told that being white is automatically a sin. Was told that being a male makes you toxic by nature. Written off as conspiracy theorists only to find total validity in such theories, such as Biden\u2019s connection to China or the made-up allegations against Trump (ALL of which were proven false). As I\u2019m writing this, I\u2019m reminded of how many small, locally owned businesses were completely destroyed and it was consistently called \u201cprotests\u201d by the media, but around 100 white punks (who deserve to be in prison) storm the capitol and it\u2019s called \u201criots\u201d. This is obvious. The media isn\u2019t even trying to hide their disgust for all things conservative. Same goes for Hollywood and secondary education. Conservatives are the extreme minority that is tired of not being listened to and sick of being treated so poorly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At some point, those people stand up and say, and I quote Joe\nBiden, \u201cenough is enough is enough.\u201d Yes, Mr. Biden, enough is enough. Enough\nkicking republican voter location workers out without explanation while the democrat\nworkers stay and count alone. Enough mail-in voting that has proven to be an\neasy device for fraud (absentee is different, they\u2019re requested first and\nvalidated by voter ID). Enough writing someone off solely based on their party\naffiliation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Have both sides done this? Of course they have. This is why blind tribalism is a total cancer that is eating our country. Democrats have objected to the last three GOP presidents. Democrats said to go ahead and appoint a SCOTUS before election in 2016 and don\u2019t wait. Democrats supported the protests and refuse to condemn the violent looting and destroying of local businesses, citing that sometimes this is the only way to get the attention of the difference makers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now all of the sudden the GOP does these exact same things and\nit\u2019s all of the sudden atrocious. Well the \u201cdeplorables\u201d have had enough. They\nhave watched as the so-called leaders of our country trample on the 1st<\/sup>,\n5th<\/sup> and 14th<\/sup> amendments and absolutely spit on the\nseparation of powers while basically saying, \u201cWhat are you going to do about it?\u201d\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did Trump cause this? Partially, yes. Obama? partially yes. These\ntwo presidents had an opportunity to unify the country and only did more to\ndivide it. Part of their job is the set the tone for the nation. Trump never accepted\nthat role. He just made brilliant business moves and got the country back on a\nvery good fiscal track while tweeting the dumbest and most antagonizing things\never. No tone set. Obama set the tone that cops are racist and white people\nshould pay. As a result, we see what we see. If you truly believe that one of\nthese presidents did NOT divide our country, you, my friend, are guilty of\nTribalism at the worst degree. Anyone paying attention would agree that BOTH of\nthese presidents divided our country, unless you\u2019re blinded by tribalism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What is the solution? END TRIBALISM. Also, A third and fourth\nparty being treated as equals. It can never happen as long as super-pacs are\nallowed. But its\u2019 vital. We have to have leaders that speak up against the nonsense\nof their own parties, to call out the hypocrisy within the party. We have to\nhave leaders that seek to truly bring unity. To support both the LEO\u2019s and\nblack citizens. Not vilify either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When the sudden exodus to Parler came, you have to ask yourself why a large group of people would do that. Why would they leave the most popular format on the planet for something else? Are THAT many people just “stupid”? Of course not. Then why? Because they are being mistreated. Again, does this go both ways? Of course. Liberals are often mistreated by conservatives as well. Usually for no reason. Making comments like \u201cdumb libtards don\u2019t know their ass from a hole in the ground\u201d by the right or \u201chope Parler lets you find FreeDumb!\u201d by the left does nothing but further divide. It gets us nowhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to be part of the solution, shake off your blind tribalistic allegiance to party and only support other Americans. We all want to get to the same destination. We just have different ideas of how to get there. If conservatives aren\u2019t treated better, if the constitution isn\u2019t treated better, if the 1st<\/sup>, 2nd<\/sup>, 5th<\/sup>, and 14th<\/sup> amendments continue to be under attack, and separation of powers is routinely ignored, a live-action reenactment of the Boston Tea Party will take place. This can be avoided, but unity and understanding must take place. And that can only happen if you seek to understand a person with an opinion other than your own. This goes for Conservatives AND Liberals!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stay Classy GP!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grainger<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After looking at the events at the capitol, you have to ask why. Why are there people this upset? Why did they resort to a peaceful protest on the capitol? Yes, there were a small faction, less than 100, that went to violence. But most were there in disgust of how the election went down. … <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/tidbitsofaudacity.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/blm-riots-2.jpg\")
