You know this country wasn’t always defined by red or blue states. I know the internet doesn’t reflect reality fully, but let’s have some civility. There’s problems to fix, hating on eachother based on who they vote for is unproductive. Discussing in a calm and reasonable manner on how to fix these problems and not based on your party affiliation is the only way things will get better.

More than anything, as a leftist myself living in this state for a bit now, if any Republican came to me and said they needed a meal, the shirt off my back, help in any way, I’d help them. That’s what being a good neighbor is.

Don’t tell people they’re crazy for believing what they do. Listen. Have a logical discussion. Yes these issues are passionate but politicians seek to divide this country and each state. Stop listening to the preconceived notions about cities and rural towns. Go out there and talk to folks. Make this place better. There’s no other state I’d rather see unify on the issues and care about eachother. It is not right or healthy to have divide like this. The president isn’t even as big of a deal as say, the congressmen, the local politicians etc. They will impact your day to day life more. But I am sick of red vs blue, it is so silly y’all.

Just think we can all do better. We can treat people with more respect and dignity. We can stop playing into the media and politicians agendas. If you’re gonna comment negative just take a second to reflect and think what that adds to the discussion. I want everyone at the cookout. I want to smile and ask how everyone’s doing. Can we disagree without insulting eachother or making it seem like we’re all part of some huge conspiracy? We need to take accountability and be kind, in all aspects. We need to fight for the things that we can universally agree on.

Just saying no matter where you live in the state, be kind, have your manners, and works towards each day being better.
