We Need to Talk
2024-11-21

            The whining, complaining, bragging, and chest-thumping.  Two weeks after the general election, way too many people are still trying to focus on who to blame.  It's over and we need to focus on the future, not the past. 

            You may not approve of the direction you think we are headed as a country but you need to remember that the majority (popular and electoral college votes) won.  If seems that too many folks are ready, willing, and seemingly able to call out the majority of voters who didn't agree with them – even their friends and families.

            You can disagree with them but launching and promoting vile acts of protest to disenfranchise friends and family is no way to begin healing a nation.  It is, however, a good way to spread your hate.  Advocating for people to disavow their families over the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday should be proof of what some folks are willing to give up in the name of hate.

            How can you hate someone so much that you are willing to destroy family ties and friendships that you loved and cherished just three weeks ago?

            One can hardly walk into a public space anymore without having to hear hate-filled words coming from voices daring you to hear and react to what they're saying.  Those are the people to be ignored and avoided.  They are just throwing their words out there hoping to draw anyone into an argument or worse.

            If you think the United States of America will fail as a nation over the next four years you weren't paying attention during your history classes.  No matter how good or bad a president is, it just won't happen.  We've had plenty of chances throughout our history to see our elected leaders uphold the U.S. Constitution against some, ahem, underperforming presidents.

            We've stumbled, then progressed.  We regressed then marched forward. We made mistakes then corrected some of them, with others still needing to be addressed.  However, if we're going to be fighting with each other and promoting hateful acts against anyone who disagrees with us, don't look for any progress.

            Few agreements can be made when nobody wants to talk or associate with each other.
