On the flip side they are bored and want something to do. I've realized most people are followers, not thinkers, so you're being way to generous I think.

I know, right? People are coming together.

Well, I mean, not on this forum but it wasn't created for that.

I also don't align with the politics of the BLM org so if you're mindlessly throwing your money and support to them because you don't like racism you're actually doing more. Maybe you agree with it all or maybe you don't but the majority of people don't think about that.
What do you propose we do then?

Coming together? You really think someone on the other side of the world cares about this all that much? There have been HORRIFIC things all over the world happening but THIS is the thing that pulls the world together? No, this isn't that.

Obviously being on the brink of a new civil war is not good, but honestly I am seeing a lot more unity than I have seen in a my whole lifetime. Except here on P-O-C.
I find the juxtaposition of these two phrases to be quite interesting, in that "we are all in this together" and "being on the brink of a new civil war" are about as opposite as one can get.

You don't know a damn thing about me. What I want, how I think, what I believe...you have no idea about any of that.

Since you just know that all liberals are dividers, quote a post of mine where I've been divisive, or take all that 'all liberals are divisive' crap, and shove it back where crap comes from. I am so effing sick of people arrogantly presuming to know what I believe simply because I have liberal leanings. Y'all don't know ish about me.
