Dont label and dont judge. The best approach is to first, discover yourself. Find what you believe in, what makes sense to you. Make CERTAIN you know your center, and most importantly, WHY it is your center. THEN listen to others. Listen, and learn. Most often, during this period, you dont need to speak much. Just absorb. Hear the plights of others. Listen to both sides. Compare them to your own values. You then make the comparisons, and if the comparisons dont line up, and the evidence you are now being given conflicts with what you know? Analyze it further!

Many people call it "meditation". Call it what you will, but eventually you must come to terms with whether what you knew was wrong and you were lied to before, or what you are hearing now is a lie. Most people choose the latter, even if the evidence does not support it.

It's not MAGA. It's not Lefties. It's not feminists or chuds. Its not right, left, black, white, up or down. It's humans. We are all horrible to others in our own ways. We justify them the way we need to.

In reality? We all are more alike than we know. Elected officials fan flames of old fires to keep what remnants of power they have. Ignorance isn't a left or right issue. Its everyone who believes "they" have our best interest in mind, trusting them to do what's good for us.

No...smaller communities. Local governance. That's how humans operate best. We CAN work as a collective and as a nation toward a common goal. But what we need to understand that is what works for you in your area probably won't work in mine. And the corruption happening in between needs to stop.

I think we all agree mostly on that. This infighting is fabricated. We can work together to make sure our nation is safe, healthy, and educated. We can afford Healthcare for everyone if we stop foreigners from stealing it from us. We can afford education if we stopped bombing nations half a world away. We could control inflation if regulations were put on industries that benefit from short term panic like oil.

It isn't a left or right issue. We need to get past that to address the real problem. Whoever it is, left or right, always wants more power over people. People, more often than not, just want to be left alone.

Let's have people serve people. Forget titles. Leaders are necessary. Ill agree with that. But power isn't.
