Until America changes, DC stays as it is. And DC is nothing but a reflection of America. We need to ‘fix’ America. Not DC. We ‘cant’ fix DC any other way. Fix what ails us and DC fixes itself.
I’ve been saying this for a very long time. It’s all about the culture. Something I have noticed is that very few people will stand up to someone they disagree with, while the country goes down the toilet. I have been in numerous situations where some leftist will say some rude thing, I don’t just ignore it, but take them on. If others are sitting there, even though they agree with me, they will stay silent. I never start the discussion about politics in groups, but I don’t back down.
I see this all the time. People will not stand up and be counted. Recently I had some guest over to our home that I did not know very well. He made some snarky comment about corrupt R’s. and I agreed with him, then commented that most federal govt. was corrupt, that is why me and my DH were tea party supporters. You would have thought I told him we ate puppies. So many are too afraid of being not cool enough to say who they really are. It is killing our country. Oh, I also told the guest that we were calling it a night and he should go home. Haven’t seen him since.
If a left winger guest enters my home, they better not talk politics. I will broom them in a heartbeat.
