And hopefully, people will start to rise up on both sides so we can then course correct.

We are stuck in this 50/50 place. It might need to get worse before it gets better. We need to brace for that and do our best not to give up. Hopefully, avoiding the shutdown will at least protect the people that need those benefits the most, especially now.

Don't be sad. It was never within our control. And, being no stranger to tragedy, in the worst of times we have to look for the good, whatever we can find. Be it a sunset, a new friend, having food. I know I sound - idk the word - but we cannot lose hope and fall into despair.
March 14, 2025 at 9:58 PM
Absolutely. Hey, it worked. I'd join in on that too. It was the right thing to do.
March 14, 2025 at 9:50 PM
and if someone is bullying someone on social media, in that instance I wouldn't be silent either if I'm witnessing that. I haven't come across that often (I've been pretty absent on social medial since 2020). But if I do see it, I would absolutely put that mother f&cker in their place.
March 14, 2025 at 9:49 PM
Now THAT, I completely support!!! If someone in the real world is out there bullying people, I WILL say something and stand up for whoever is being mistreated. That's a totally diff scenario. We need people to be vocal in the face of that kind of hate and bigotry. In those situations I am vocal!!
March 14, 2025 at 9:47 PM
They just want to tell people off.
March 14, 2025 at 9:43 PM
Deleting my twitter account was liberating!! It really does piss me off when they're all "you're intolerant" yet that's what they do to us! the cognitive dissonance is enough to drive me absolutely insane. Which is why that bullshit approach does not work. And to your point, is not their goal.
March 14, 2025 at 9:43 PM
not for me. Those are friends or family that I just won't talk about politics or global events with. And that works for us.
March 14, 2025 at 9:40 PM
I'm happy. A few of my friends get all of their news off social media and frequently post inaccurate information in our group chats. So when I correct them, they are cool about it and we have a real discussion that is engaging and beneficial to both sides. The people that need the fight though...eh
March 14, 2025 at 9:40 PM
Yes. And what, REALLY, are they achieving? Misery, in my opinion. That's not a lifestyle that works for me. I have a desire to know truth, that's a thing I have about me. Probably not a great thing, lol, but it is a thing. As long as I'm reading balanced news, and have a handle on what is going on,
March 14, 2025 at 9:40 PM
and that's true too, lol. Losing their platform is the biggest natural consequence of all.
March 14, 2025 at 9:34 PM
media, there is no actual purpose to that level of engagement. But that's me. and I know there are others that feel differently and that's okay too.
March 14, 2025 at 9:34 PM
Exactly. It isn't about discussing the issues. And you get dragged in - and for what? What is really going to change? People in that state aren't going to listen to anything I have to say and I'm not the person that will engage UNLESS engagement serves an actual, real, purpose. To me, on social
March 14, 2025 at 9:34 PM
It drives me CRAZY! I choose not to let those people steal my joy. I need to protect my peace. lol
March 14, 2025 at 9:31 PM
and we are heading that way, it would appear. Crazy times we live in.
March 14, 2025 at 9:29 PM
I just cant add that stress into my life now so I have to walk away. I don't have the mental strength to battle them at this time in my life.
March 14, 2025 at 9:28 PM
I agree with you to an extent; those people I just don't engage with. They're looking for a fight and are not open to actual conversation. And to your point, some people do need to be put in their place, and not everything can be reasonable, especially now.
