I'm From America, Show Me

I was raised with Christian values and while I think in general that organized religion is mostly a big scam, the values stuck so i never will wish harm to another person.

Some make that pretty hard at times but I try to ignore the stupid thigs and move on.

The hardest is when people out of self interest are willing to harm others for political or monetary reasons.  When you consider the way the current and to some extent prior administration have treated immigrants you wonder if they have any humanity.

These are real people who are striving for a better life.  They deserve to be treated as we would want to be treated, not like animals. 

To many people have let politics corrupt them.   Someone who disagrees with you about tax rates is not either un-American or a mortal enemy.

I have seen disinformation become so widespread that it is becoming engrained in our culture.

Some beliefs are so inane they would be laughable if they weren't actually believed by so many.  Computer or cell phone systems such as 5G do not cause specific diseases like Covid 19.  We haven't developed a way for real things like viruses to be teleported.  The world is not flat, it has been flown around many many times.  

Most of you will realize how absurd those are but you might accept others without any evidence.  The flag is not being disrespected by any significant number of Americans and even if it was, what would it mean?  The constitution does not guarantee any form of economic system, but it does guarantee some basic human rights like freedom of speech, religion and assembly.

Is election fraud possible?  Sure but everyone knows it is and it has been prevented quite successfully.  The things you hear called election fraud are not generally related to actual voting but related to voting registrations which are frequently not updated.  It would require additional steps to lead to a fraudulent vote, steps which the systems prevent quite well.

There are so many others that you really need to make sure you have actual information, not the false opinions of someone trying to deceive you for their gain.  

When I was young there was a saying about people from Missouri demanding to be shown.

We should all demand that.
