Titled
it's not a question of
if you are with me or against
it's more a I won't hold back my disgust
when friends I knew for years
say thing's that make my ears want to bleed
what am I supposed to say?
maybe nod in agreement?
God knows I try to see the other side
but stupid is what stupid is
and you have reached dangerous levels
I think maybe I should blame Trump
the twisted right views
really I just blame you
because you should know better
don't get me wrong
I can take criticism
never minded a healthy debate
but that's not what this has become
it's not a question of if Biden is a fuck up
because that will never change
what fascism is
and Trump and his party is that
no, it's not a battle of the wits
or a story of rivals
it's not cute or funny to me
I can pretend to a point
realize that the other side has a voice
but I do too
and I won't back down

All the same feelings happened to me, as you describe in your words here. I've researched this thoroughly and found it true among so many people. I also learned why this new Republican platform resonates with so many other people as well; even though I can't internalize it myself.
Your piece is insightful and meaningful. Thank you for sharing it. I'll read more of your work :)

I think it starts out with people being upsets at the system, and rightfully so. Then it turns into a belonging. Kind of like a club or how I would call it a cult. Then you have the people who vote the republican party off of issues like gas, inflation, anti-abortion. Really all those reasons I get, but it is surprising how many people will look the other way, or give up their rights for such issues. It is also surprising how these people act dumbfounded when pointing out the corruption and fascism. Things they have no argument for.
Thanks for the read. Very much appreciated 😁
