RE: DEAR ANTI-TRUMP FRIENDS: We need to talk about your "resistance"

in #politics7 years ago

I completely agree with the point of view, but how do we fix it. What do we do to bring the masses together and make a world change? If the dems and the republicans alike can cause a massive stir and reaction from the people then how do we do the same and cause a turn for true liberty on an equally large scale. Its not like these people havent seen the same content you discuss in this video. Its as though they enjoy the drama of it like a house mom watching general hospital. I see so many videos like yours that i absolutely agree with, but i never see a logical well thought out plan on how to make the change back to freedom and living under less violence driven government. We the people are supposed to have the power. Why cant we get traction and make that change?

People do enjoy the drama. Politics is a big soap-opera distraction.
The change we need to make is in what we pay our attention to.

I'm starting with the man in the mirror.

Hopefully, @careywedler hasn't left you hangin'...I'm sure she's busy and will get back to you soon.

In the meantime, I suggest getting a "Vote Wedler for Congress" bumper sticker; and, give her a shot at creating the change you want to see.

The problem is the U.S. is a corporation run by the elites; and, if truth was told, 'for' the elites.

Instead of crowding the streets with 'get out the vote', people should crowd the streets in promotion of term limits. How long will people in their 20s realize that an octagenarian just might not be in their best interest for contemporary change.

Best regards.

Btw, Welcome to Steemit! Here's a tip! for your insightful comment.

One last thing, every nation needs a leader to represent them. No matter your opinion of the current POTUS, he is who the people chose; and, who God allowed to take the oath of office. To that end, he should be respected. (Romans 13).

Peace.

You're right on with the soap opera analogy, and I think the main issue stems from indoctrination and cognitive dissonance. I just recently heard someone give the analogy: Imagine you are the type of person who would stop along the highway to help someone, who is in need. You get out to discover 12 people bleeding to death in the ditch, and you can help to save them, but two hands will only save one life. What you do next, is yell and wave from the shoulder of the highway, for others to pull over and help save more lives. The issue is that the people driving in the passing lane can't hear you at all, and the situation, from their personal perspective in life, is already burdensome or busy enough to pay attention to you. This would go all the way up to full blown sociopath, also. Then, there are the people in the closest lane. Sadly, most of them can hear you, or do notice something's wrong, but don't carry enough empathetic feeling/self confidence to act, or just outright refuse to admit anything is wrong, because of how much it would shake their innermost beliefs of what existence is really for. Didn't mean to ramble, but thought I would share.
