Extremism is getting this country nowhere. The bottom line for me is quality of life. Half the republicans and most all the Dems are getting rich off these wars. The hold outs may be radical, but without them the truth wouldn't get out at all.
I think Biden is a war profiteer, and a lot of Dem voters today like you said, mean spirited bigots.
I was a dead centrist until Obamacare ruined my State Healthcare. Voted for Bill Clinton. Now I lean conservative. Border crisis and cost of living cinches it for me.
Prayer may not always change things for you, but it will always change you for things. While seemingly perfect people in seemingly perfect places behave as if they have a monopoly on God, God is actually quite free of them, working in the worst of circumstances and in broken hearts, calling us all to be forgiven, clean, and new.
