Why fight? It does more harm to your cause than good.
People have a hard time understanding fly over America & their attitude towards Ukraine. They haven’t been heard for far too long, mocked and demonized. They have seen the industrial base, their jobs, sent to China through deliberate policy choice. They were ridiculed for speaking up on this, on anything. We fought them Instead of listening. They’ve sent their sons and daughters overseas to fight endless, winless wars, only to see them come home forgotten and to no jobs. Mental illness, drugs, suicide, and healthcare and support systems seemingly broken and incapable or unwilling to help. The world and the left has made fun of our healthcare system and blames these folks for it. What they see, however, is a country subsidizing the world’s defense and pharmaceutical industry. They have spoken up but we didn’t listen, we fought them from our keyboards and TV screens while they were fighting real world problems. What did we think the response would be when you ask them to spend on yet another war that has nothing to do with them.
They’re fed up. Don’t tell them it’s just one more war. Enough is enough.
Ignored people turn to populism, which leads to folks like Trump coming to power. The good fight being campaigned by people on the left (like you know who here) has come full circle to bite them in the ***. They, in large part, created what they thought they were fighting to stop. Every demonizing post, every derogatory MAGA comment for speaking in favor of anything not far left, every witch hunt like the dossier, pushed us one step closer to Trump 47. They are responsible as much as any.
What do you think will happen when you fight in kind? It won’t come full circle to bite you in the ***? You are immune to the human condition? Don’t fight, listen, converse. These are your country folk, and lucky for us here our neighbors of the world.
