They insult their fellow Americans and wholeheartedly support treason, but you want us to tend to their delicate feefees.

Let us know when civility gets through their thick skulls.

But I dont.

The fact that an American sitting president is there by the hands of a foreign power, Russia. And the people in this cult of personality dont care about your sensibilities or what is a word that at this point will be hearing in face to face conversations and not just on Facebook, do.

to oppress and hurt marginalized people. I'm disappointed, but never surprised, when Democrats and liberals say they don't care, either.

"I get what you're saying" is my first response to you. Meaning I do empathize with you.

However, at a time when we are trying to spit into the wind to douse an out of control wildfire to get points across. Sometimes you have to pick your poison. You can be a person with absolute and complete morals and try to fight back, which you cant because fighting itself is immoral. Or you can choose to fight back.
