Politics Is One Subject You Don't Want to Hear My Thoughts Out Loud -- Trust Me
Sat Aug 22 2020

I had to do it.  I had to write my thoughts about politics this morning and post it.  I am getting sick and tired of people saying that the Republicans are lying and do not care about this country or the Democrats do not care and are socialists.  We had lost our freedom in the United States because of the COVID-19 pandemic in April when it started.  The pandemic has affected me. I cannot explain right this minute because of the time I have before leaving for dialysis.  I feel the President is doing EVERYTHING he can with both parties (Republicans and Democrats) having standoffs because they cannot agree on anything the President is doing.  No one wants Trump as President.

Why can’t people just leave him alone?  Yes, it is an election year, and both parties are lying about the opposing side because they want to be the winners of the election.  I am a little miffed right now and writing this with some anger about how politics are going right now. COVID-19 has come during an election year, and this makes it even tougher for many people to grasp who is the best for President for the next four years, whether it be President Trump for another four years or Biden, if he wins the election this year.  I have family and friends who know how they stand.  I know how I stand.  I’ve heard a Democrat talk ill of Trump.  I can see her point, but the hatred she has for Republicans – I being one of them – scares me, so I’d rather not talk politics with her.  I cannot wait until the election is over.

    There is no doubt about it... it's the weirdest most stressful election year EVER. Say what you need to say here in DD. You should be able to speak your mind somewhere!

    Ditto - It seems we are living in a world full of hate and intolerance - opposite of what is right in our hearts. Hopefully we will find peaceful middle ground somewhere. Meanwhile I just avoid the news and social media as much as possible for sanity sake

    Thank you for taking the time to read and comment, Yetzirah. You help me out a lot at times I feel like I want or need to scream and cry. I look forward to what you have to say when I see there is a comment on my posts. With what is happening, this election year is terrifying, and I need to know what is happening is essential. Still, with my anxiety and depression and occasional panic episodes, I cannot watch and listen to lies from both sides. Politicians should be honest. What politicians do is take video clips and make cuts in it to make the politician they are running against look terrible. Both Democrats and Republicans do this to get more votes. It makes me sick. I'd rather watch movies and TV programs on Hulu, Netflix, and the ROKU channel. I go to bed with my iPad every night just to fall asleep to watching Murder, She Wrote from 10 PM to 2 PM.

    Yes, we are living in a world of hatred. Among the hate, we need to continue to do what is right, even if we end up have consequences. I dislike being dishonest to people. I even hate to fib even the slightest these days to give what a person wants to hear. It'd not right. I have been lied to, accused, and manipulated by others. If someone is filled with so much hate, then their love for God is not in them. Thank you for your response/comment. God bless.
