Republicans need a base of ignorance in order to prevail.
They play the short game. They don't believe in facts, science, truth, education, empathy, inclusion, equal rights, freedom FROM religion. The list is endless.
How do we function in the world with such ignorance? We don't. We look insane.

Great video from Arnold. Very much worth the watch.
"Hate has always been the easy path. The path of least resistance. The path of the weak.
It is easier to hate than it is to learn.
It’s easier to claim you are better than someone else than it is to actually work to become better yourself

I went for another walk in the small nature preserve where I live. I've walked 1000's of miles there over the years.
I love seeing the diversity of people in my community. Like me, looking for peace and some fresh air.
Why is diversity such a threat to so many?
Diversity makes us amazing.

My war on religion
- Practice religion? I respect your choice.
- Don't want an abortion? Don't have one.
- Don't enjoy a drag show? Stay home.
- Don't want to marry same sex? Don't.
- Books offend you? Don't read them.
- Facts, history & science an affront? Watch Fox.
No religion in government

Running low on malevolence?
Fox is the charging station for ignorance and hate. Fill 'er up.

I respect anyone's decision to practice religion.
What I cannot fathom is how anyone who practices a religion feels they have a right to impose their beliefs on another person.
Especially those who claim a "war on religion". It is perverted.
Religion has no place in government.

I find the Georgia grand jury foreperson media blitz to be disturbing. To say the least.
But, with her giddiness being in the spotlight, I feel the first tickle of dread. There is a party that excels in making a hero out of this type of person. Albeit a false one. I hope I am reading her wrong.

The short videos that The Lincoln Project puts out are great.
Their podcasts are excellent and though provoking.
Trying to understand how we got here, I appreciate listening to and learning from viewpoints of people who call the Republican party "my former party".

America won. Democracy won. Thank you, President Biden.

I unfriended my uncles on FB. I couldn't take it any longer. This post was the last straw.
Mind you, they both came to this country on a boat. After my grandfather illegally crossed from Canada.
These types of vile posts are peppered with religious posts.
Turn off fox, newsmax, oan, FFS!

I have been endlessly grateful that Joe Biden is our president. His age? It's experience. Thank goodness for his knowledge and steady hand. The alternative was unthinkable.
I could not be more proud of President Biden and our support of Ukraine.
"As long as it takes."
As it should be.

I have never known a time without President Carter. Somehow his unbelievable grace and kindness has always assured me and given me hope. A true man.
I have been aware of tfg since I was a teen. He never did good for anyone. Ever.
How do evangelicals deify someone so overwhelmingly unworthy?

Maybe pick some up today. For a friend, for a family member, for a stranger in need.
Oh, and let's get religion out of politics.

I am about to listen to the January 6 report. There are 3 books on my Audible account. Can anyone recommend one version over the other two?
Also, I'm curious how many people have read/listened to the whole Mueller report. I listened as soon as it was available and found it to be incredibly damnin

Why do people need religion? It's an honest question.
Every Atheist I know wants to lift others up. They are well read, educated, empathetic, kind, tolerant. They do not try to force Atheism on anyone. Nor do they try to suppress the beliefs of others.
Just something I ponder. A lot.
