One can say they have never seen a blue sky and be telling the truth. But when that one who has monochromic vision insists there is no such thing as a blue sky, the majority must remind them of their monochromatic condition. Because, even if they see gray sky only, the sky is in fact blue. Truth is.

I knew guys like you … circa 1991 Washington DC; Zeigfields & Mrs P’s where I escaped the beatings of a Baptist minister and the religious thumb I was held under and boy oh boy … the stories I could tell.

My Mom, stepdad, Uncle, Aunt and ten cousins live in a horse/carriage community in central TN. Anabaptists. But, I’m a small town girl who dreams of her own 5 acre kingdom. 💜

I don’t think badly about you or Nick. Honestly, we have differences but I think we all recognize the importance of being an activist in whatever form we can muster. Impassioned people make changes happen. But, I don’t like when it becomes infighting. We should be more united.

2) when and where in the thread did the division (anger, insults, etc) begin? Divided we fall. They win again?? Nick? Yeah? Reread what I’ve said. And yet, I’m a fascist boot licker?

1) Incidentally, I am a trans woman. I haven’t stopped “fighting” for my rights to healthcare, etc. Trans are more susceptible to the escalating violence within our community. I fight that battle differently. I’ve earned my opinions and my right to speak. But ask yourself … even in this conversation

Said the guy in a raccoon suit. When people cannot support a debate they insult. Again, outside your circle of friends, you now just look like an asshole.

I don’t think you should sit down and shut up either. Didn’t say that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

You do you Nick. You are the future. I believe even a young person in a raccoon suit can offer solutions. But, can they be taken seriously beyond their own circle of friends? I’m not so sure.

Huh?🤔 Where did that come from? I’m still alive. I wasn’t judging or saying one was right and the other wrong. I recognized the differences between generations. 🤷🏻‍♀️

You made my point Nick. My generation confronted it differently.

Remember, the same influences that dominated Reagan policy are the same influences that wrote Project 2025. Our generation confronted the “moral majority” of our time differently. One difference, IMO, is less moral and ethical restraint. I would ask who “taught@ them that?
