Hating what Donald Trump and the Republican party have done is not going to save our country.

Cooler heads prevail. I'm guilty of this myself. I can't count the times I've insulted 45 and republicans, but at the end of the day I spent a lot of energy and it did nothing to stop what they are doing. If we are going to run around saying we hate all republicans and none of them are redeemable, then we cannot on the other hand expect any of them to listen to any of our ideas with an open mind. And in the process of all the hating we are doing we can make ourselves look every bit as ugly as they have looked on message boards calling us 'libtards' ,etc. We can even make some people who don't vote think everyone is just as nasty , stupid, and ugly as everyone else, so why should they even want to vote. Hate is not attractive, it's not productive and the only kinds of people who really seem attracted to it are nazi's , etc. So , I'm laying all the hatred aside. I've decided to come from a positive place . That doesn't mean I'm not resisting, I'm just not wasting my energy on the hate anymore. & Like it or not hating the republicans only enlarges their numbers & creates sympathy for them. And possibly if we aren't yelling 'I hate you you stupid morons ' as loud as we can all over the internet..well maybe they might actually read what we have to say. Yes I'm every bit guilty of this behavior, but I'm changing my ways. I'm not going to hate anymore. And if we cannot forgive, we cannot heal. That doesn't mean we have to join hands on bad agendas, it just means hatred eats it owner.

Last night I watched 'Where to Invade Next' by Michael Moore & felt extremely sad about our country. If you have never watched that please do try and watch it. We have in our realm every means with which to have a fabulous nation , but I think we waste too much time in expressing our loathing and not enough time expressing good ideas & good platforms. We need to win 2018 & we won't do that just expressing our loathing of 45 and friends. We should be exuding attractive energy not nasty energy. Talking about our positive goals and platforms.

Okay, that's what is on my mind today. I'm going to try and improve myself and stop with the hate.
