I don’t even talk politics anymore, unless I know for sure the people I’m speaking with are like- minded. Every day it’s some new scandal, our country is going to hell in a hand basket on a rocket full of plutonium!
I am coming to a conclusion that I need and crave the company of like-minded people. Defending ones beliefs and opinions constantly is exhausting. Sure its good to have people who challenge you but I am kind of weary of the fear some have these days. It is really hard to be a progressive in […]
My dear Contessa … you have found a like-minded person here! I feel as you do! 🙏🏽
Thanks!
Ditto lafy
I agree, it can be so taxing to constantly have to fend your political stance, especially when others are so unwilling to see another’s side of things!
Word to your brother! I think it’s called being delusional! LOL!
I think this is true as we grow olderer, I’m definitely more patient with people in general, and tending to be the agreeable one, anything to keep the peace while enjoying my Thursday beers with the lads at the local Pub’
Sounds like a plan to me! Thanks for stopping by.
Well said!
I thought so as well.
It’s engaging the others that is important though isn’t it?
That’s for sure!
I’m exhausted and I rarely get into heated political debates. I am like minded and I can even see the merit in some of ideals in a truly conservative platform. But we don’t have a any true conservatives speaking up about how the two parties might be able to work together for the good of the country. All I hear is nationalistic noise and demonizing the poor. It is so frustrating to watch this side show taking over our government. To watch people like Steve Bannon pulling the puppet strings.
Thanks for the comment.
depends on ones demenor
i can be respectful and disagree
If asked pointedly and directly I may respond, but otherwise will veer as far away from politics and religion as humanly possible. I feel very much the same way.
Thanks for the comment.
We must learn to disagree . . . without being “disagreeable.”
