(5,081 posts)It isnt just one man to stop.
It isnt all Americans that brought this on.
He doesnt believe we can fix this. I get that, not at the rate we are seeing right now. More and more Americans are waking up and I believe, so many more will.
No one knows, no one REALLY knows how this will end. If we all believed what this man believes -that we cant fix this, we would not be doing all we can to do so.
We ARE doing all we can, and we are growing, and strength lies in numbers.
So, I am going to keep fighting, I am going to have a bigger tent for those who wake up, however late. BUT - they need to decide to become part of the solution and for those that do, we need to recognize when they are willing to do exactly that, and let them in. That is going to make a world of difference!
More people did not even vote, than those that voted for trump.
More people didnt vote than those who voted for Harris.
So, what do we do with that?
My guess is we aim to reach for those who are regretting their trump vote and for those who didnt vote at all.
How?
Perhaps by forgetting the divisive rhetoric in social media, the resentment toward those who regret and truly feel betrayed by the lies, and also toward those who didnt vote that regret it and learned their voice actually does matter - that their silence was a vote in itself.
Perhaps we Incorporate bulleted facts and bulleted solutions in our messaging toward them
-SPEND EQUAL time addressing THESE People, as we spend with what we are saying now.
We can not afford to ignore these other Americans for one more minute.
-Most absolutely not in our airtime when we get it.
-Not in our speeches when we give them.
-Not in our town halls when we have them.
-NOT in our never-ending podcasts andinterviews
-Most definitely NOT in our abundance of YouTube shows!
But of course, its just my opinion, and a mere fraction of the thoughts and feelings Im having (and Im aware that Im not alone).
