Everything Is Not Black Or White

Nothing has ever divided the USA this hard since the Civil War. Mask or no mask? Adamantly for, adamantly against. No middle standers. Portland’s secret police – gestapo or necessary? Why only “Democratic” cities? This is concerning. We never had Republicans and Democrats this divided. And I do not remember people generalizing them before. One person tells me schools should open. This is ridiculous. The next person says there is no way in the world they should be opened. The figures on TV about the virus – some people say they are lies. Other people say they are real. The President – some love him others despise him. No middle ground. I have never seen so many opinionated people in my life! It is disconcerting, disheartening and divides us. Let’s look for some common ground people. What happened to the gray? Everything is not black or white.

I am stunned by what’s going on down there. My heart goes out to all of my American friends, whichever shade. The thought of those mothers locking arms to protect protesters being tear gassed makes my own eyes tear. Hugs <3

It is humiliating and embarrassing.
