Politics

People are Different

Politics these days has gotten much too angry lately. Why do people have to hate others who live differently then themselves so much?

We all have different priorities and values. Some people view some rights more important then others, some prefer freedom over safety on certain issues. Some people believe certain activities should be legal others believe they should be banned.

There needs to be more respect for people who are different then you. Not everybody is of the same race, gender, creed, sexual orientation, or religious belief. Some people live in cities, some in suburban areas, and some in rural areas.

As a society, we would be better off if people took a deep breath and said, while I disagree with you, I understand where your coming from. People who are different then you are not stupid or ignorant, but instead just have different values.

I wish more often people would say, I disagree with you but I respect you for having different experiences and views.

It is interesting how the states with the most population growth since 2020 are mostly red states. The only really fast-growing state of the list that is solidly blue is Washington State, and it’s not in the top ten, at least percentage-wise. For all the talk about a coming blue demographic wave, it seems like more of fizzle then anything else. That said, some of the once very red states like Georgia and Arizona have elected Democrats, and are becoming more purple. Florida on the other hand, the third fastest growing, and fastest growing this year, has become solidly-red in recent elections.
