You are a fair minded person with integrity and beliefs. But your even handedness will not be reciprocated because the Left has no regard or respect for your principles.
Bear in mind the following:
We cherish fairness. They play to win at all costs. To them the ends justifies the means.
We want liberty and freedom. They want control and power.
We believe in laws and honor what the Founding Fathers bequeathed to us. They are lawless and have disdain for our governing document — the U.S. Constitution.
We believe borders are necessary to protect ourselves and way of life. They want open borders and no restrictions on who comes in.
We demand personal accountability. They reject that concept altogether based on circumstantial exceptions and moral equivalency.
We believe that corruption is corrosive and destructive in a society. They rely on it to advance their agenda.
We disapprove of violence. The encourage and condone it.
I could go on but the point is how do you reconcile/coexist with people who reject nearly everything you believe in and hold dear? They are never going to vote for you to win an award even if you clearly deserve it. Your views and principles are anathema to them. And they hold vindictive grudges.
The sharp cultural chasm is bifurcating the country. What used to be a middle ground in what used to be America is rapidly disappearing.
Right. They have left civilization. We have not. You explain that in detail. The irony is the left is everything they claim we are. They wont look into the mirror because they will not like what they see. So they project their faults onto us and we have had enough.
