I grew up in a conservative, working class town, in a conservative mid-west state. I don't like to talk politics any more... I've pretty much seen it all or researched it while a history student. I can pretty much tell you who will win my state this fall, even though I won't be voting for them. As are many others I have seen, this election will come down to choosing the lesser of, in my opinion, two evils.
Today I have done something I rarely do... started to unfriend people on FB because they are spreading political hatred. All I did was post an unpolitical statement about a person not even running for president. All of the hateful comments posted finally pushed me over the edge. I have threatened to unfriend in the past, to no avail.
I try to only post upbeat, positive things (or at least honest statements) everywhere I am on social media, but some people try to turn things to their own agendas.
This has been an awakening for me. No matter if I've known someone my whole life, at my age I just don't have to and won't tolerate hate on any level any more.
Bye, bye haters. May you someday feel the love that's out there waiting for you if you'll only give it half a chance.
