yes. life is better for me to speak truth to power, and standing up for the principles this country was founded on is worth my life. i am blessed to know where we came from and where i am going after life here, so standing up to those who will oppress others is why i am here.

be safe and secure knowing there are more out here like you than the other side would like you to know.

“i am blessed to know where we came from and where i am going after life here,...”

It’s fine to say you are blessed to “know” all the answers, when you are in your church group or in your Q group.

But in public discourse, I think the far more respectful approach is to express your views as thoughts, opinions or beliefs - rather than knowledge. That way people will be assured that you are open to hearing their thoughts, opinions and beliefs as well.

When you say “I know” - that can send the signal that your search for the truth is complete, and that you are not open to further input.

Of course, if you actually believe your search for the truth IS complete, then you may want to stick to saying “I know”. But in that case, others may choose not to participate in such a conversation.
