Tough Day To Be In Law Enforcement

I continue to be shocked at the support he still has among what I call smart rational people. Was asked by a family member I love and respect... Do you think our country is racist? I said yes... I prefaced with obviously not everyone... I mentioned we have a racist president in the response... the reply shocked me... He said... "you think the president is racist?" I was like yeah... it isn't like he hides it.

He shook his head disapprovingly... I'm conservative and I guess I skew Republican, but I hate the two party system... so I've declared myself agnostic recently. I was shocked he couldn't see the guy for what he is because he is still tied to his party.

I don't think Biden is a great answer, but I won't be voting trump. Country needs a hard restart right now.

Weird. It’s not like the GOP does a good job of hiding their racism. This was just today:



This was just a few years ago in arguably the most high profile governor’s race:



I haven’t even brought up Republican history since 1964, the new Jim Crow of the war on drugs, actual racist policies, and the daily racism of Fox News, am radio, and Trump. At this point, being surprised that the GOP engages in racism would be like being surprised that the earth is round or that vaccines help to prevent disease. What kind of news does your family member consume? Did they start becoming politically aware in the 80s? I’ve found that those who grew up with Reagan are much more loyal to the party than almost any other demographic.
 
Great post
I don't think Biden is the answer either but it least he won't cause as many problems that need answers as trump does/will.

I see him as the democrat version of Bush... less lovable but we can survive a dummy if they are willing to put good people around them and good people can actually tolerate being around him.

I’m super naive but also not indoctrinated into my views... I have been shocked when sharing basic thoughts about what is going on and getting responses like “you going liberal?” Or “CA is really getting to you”.


It all comes down to people blindly following their party and dismissing some seriously ugly flaws as unimportant or fake news. I’m losing a ton of respect for folks... **** clearly isn’t going to bother them until they are directly affected.
 
Great ideas and comments in this thread. But what are YOU going to do to change things? Has anyone here protested? Have you donated? How are you going to use your privilege for good, instead of just telling other what you think needs to happen?

All these ideas are great, but what are gonna do to affect change?

I haven't protested because of Covid 19. It's been going back up and gathering in large groups right now seems a lil wreckless with the pandemic going around that a lot conveniently forget.Screenshot_20200603-150136_Chrome.jpg
 


So tear gas people and beat up reporters (even Australian ones) so you can come up with a lame *** photo op?



Are Christians really this stupid to buy this cheap ****?
Lol what an embarrassing idiot.
Oh, and nice hair and tan dummy

Just thinking of religion and all with the talk of that priest and my friend who’s such a good dude (yet maniac too) and I think of fish.

@fishonjazz

If there’s a heaven, which I personally don’t think there is, you’re going there.

You embody Christianity more than just about anyone and everyone I know. Maybe @colton too. But he posts less and I therefore don’t “know” him as well.
Thanks but nah man. I have done way too much bad and not nearly enough good.
My daughter's 4 year birthday was yesterday and we were up at campground high up in an alpine setting. So many of my family made this long *** drive on a workday and stayed much longer than they should have and made her day so special. I think it was the best day of her life so far. Man she was happy

I have a past and it ain't pretty. Much of it is quite ugly in fact. I don't deserve all the good things I have in my life. I'm lucky as hell bro.
Don't need or desire heaven. I have already got it better than I should.
