America has gone mad, it has lost its way, and lost its mind, the killing of a ultra right wing fanatic with views that are not mainstream, is not an excuse to attack anyone who has different values, pull yourself together and stop 🛑 fighting with each other! 🤷♀️🤐🤬😖😡😤🤦♀️
I was engaging with conservative family last week, and it's interesting to me that while before the killer was identified, they were saying in the same breath that it is the left that has gone mad and in the same breath they were concerned about fascism. I am glad I was able to engage with them before the conversation went sour, but one person stated how socialism is a slippery slope toward fascism. I'm currently trying to navigate my boundaries with this line of thinking but also gain understanding to how people get there so I have the knowledge to make sense of it / engage. If anyone has books, readings, recs of any kind, feel free to drop them here.
"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. "
-Martin Niemöller, German theologian and pastor, arrested by Gestapo and imprisoned in concentration camp as a political prisoner

Noticed how quick was Musk to blame the undefined “Left“ on X?
Almost as quick as they blamed Soviets for JFK..
