Lol, we have the same mindframe here. You are just taking my comment out of context. The same word but seperate meanings. You're referring to a different type of politicizing. You're referring to Republicans deliberately distorting information to favor a preferred line of thinking and numerous other infractions they are surely guilty of. I'm referring to politicizing covid as a whole. As she was implying that wearing masks is political and referencing protests allowed but 4th of July being cancelled for social distancing as an example.
Shes right about a few things - this country is split based on our party divides and covid has been politicized in that way. If you wear masks and agree with social distance your auto viewed liberal or Democrat. If you think everything should stay open and you're safe without a mask you must be a Republican. People literally out and about bullying others for their choices and making uneducated assumptions.
Let me tell you how far from the truth that is. Theres plenty of Republicans screaming for masks and human rights just as there is plenty of Democrats protesting to keep their businesses open and not wear a mask. I cancelled 3 accounts for Democrats pissed about the shutdowns, today. Their whole life is falling apart. Everything they said was based in politics, instead of science.
It is ridiculously politicized and both parties make assumptions about the other due to these judgemental views. End result America is currently getting no where (as far as covid ) and that is destructive. Self destructive. That's what I was responding too, not the context turn this conversation has taken. I'm a bit reminded of my family here, who insists you must take a side. I disagree. I think that's partially why we are in this mess. Everyone wants to take sides and fight instead of coming together and being a little more open minded.
I agree with all of the above about the govt, hence why I've always voted democratic. Obviously I've "chosen which side to back" if that's what you call it. I claim independent & back human rights and decency. Plus a ton of other issues I'm passionate about.
Again, you misunderstand me. I support BLM 100% since start of movement 2013. I support the true protestors out there risking covid and battling for systemic change, and defunding police. I've been in the heart of racism for 20+ years raising mixed children. Trump is a douche and too many Republicans are not good humans. Regardless of the my views of the GOP, I see major flaws in both parties. I think it's more patriotic to notice the flaws in our country and want better for it, than to disregard major problems that need fixing.
