Democratic Poverty

I was listening to NPR yesterday on my way to small green group ministries, when I heard post-millennial Republicans favor apartheid while the contemporary urban-green Democrat favors laziness. I don't know if this includes intellectual laziness, lack of rigor, and laziness about ecotherapeutic health, but in either case, this conflicts with my own experience regarding Democrats and lack of healthy motivation but also of Republicans I actually know, except perhaps my brother and a Trump worshiping neighbor, regarding apartheid as a fundamental religious constitutional right to Christian evangelical colonizing supremacy over all 3/5th human natured former slaves and other less fortunate dispirited criminals and unnatural cravings. If Democrats are guilty of lazy love for restoring Earth's healthy nature/spirit subclimates, both yin-side and yang-outdoor voiced, then what do we call Republican guilt irresponsibility lack of moral authority to stop blowing each other and trees and Earth-habitat up and out of nature/spirit double-bounds, both secular non-elitist systems and sacred ZeroZone souls of divine Matriarchal Grace. When I arrived to listen and share non-violent peaceful space with my small green group alliance, we sang and danced and spoke of connections through active listening rather than lazy lack of sufficient compassion with suffering and wealth of correlational enchantment, courageous coherence, curious intuited collusions, collateral thinking/feeling for healthy future prospects. Then we each went home in our own four directions until we close our loops together again next New Moon morning.
