I am a deeply political person but if you read my blog traditionally you won’t get that feel. I have kept it mostly out of hive, even during Covid (mostly). However, perhaps that is not a good idea. Perhaps we should speak up more regardless of the platform or location. We knew what happened during 2016 campaign. I think we sort of gave it away that year by not voting enough. We thought it would be easy and “deplorable” won’t be able to pull it. We were dead wrong and we created this monster by leaving the stage empty. Now it is so much harder.
I haven't been political on Hive at all. I really don't like conflict. But I have to take a stand, not a stand that is confrontational but one that elucidates a rational position. This won't move any votes. But I had to say it. When I read your post last night I was glad I had drafted this (it took a couple of days to write, to get the resources and quotes).
If we want other people to stand up, then I guess we have to be prepared to take the flack.
Thanks for commenting. Wishes us luck this year, although I am quite anxious about the signs out there.

Speaking up is required!
In that case I totally support your efforts - good luck, US deserves a better way
Thank you! We need it :)
