Alt-left, Alt-right... what a bunch of BS!steemCreated with Sketch.

I'm sick and tired of people getting labels slapped on them because they have different views from you or the mainstream. What if we just dealt with people on an individual basis? Some people join groups that they want to be a part of but they can't all be lumped into groups for thinking exactly the same way. I used to be a huge Alex Jones/Infowars fan and sometimes I go to his page just to see what he's up to. I have friends that love him and some that hate him. Now I realize he just likes to sensationalize the news (or put his own spin on it, which he is allowed to do under the 1st amendment). But what turned me off from taking him completely serious is that he completely went off the depend to support Trump and making Hilliary out to be a demon or something. He completely attacked her character and spent way too much time on it. He didn't spend enough time explaining his conspiracy theories or focusing on health issues like he's done in the past. It's not the conspiracy theories that turn people off... its the attitude of your heart and your character. This is why, as a registered republican, I refused to vote for Trump. I liked his ideas but hated the way he talked to and about others.

What I have come to realize is that there is no alt-left or alt-right. It's just a bunch of people that a part of a specific ideology (liberalism, conservatism or libertarianism) that happen to have personalities and think for themselves. Some have better logic than others. But we are all individuals and simultaneously all one. We need to come together and find ways to be civil and get along instead of pointing fingers and fighting each other all the time. We are all on the same team! As the kids in school used to say, "Why can't we all get along?!" I firmly believe we all have something to offer and are all good at something. Let's stop labeling people and putting people into groups and writing them off. We are all human and all God's children!
