America : What Will Fix This? Part 2

Thanks for reading PT. 1,

Like I said, I have this gut feeling, that the problems in The US, will be solved by us,

and through our little actions, we can make waves.


Yes, You and Me.

Through these things,

Deductive Reasoning

Be Well rounded human beings

Listening to both sides to extract your truth in the middle

Like watch CNN for a week,

or watch Fox for a week so you can extract the truth behind both.

How can we meet in the middle or work with other people if we have no idea where they’re coming from.

Deduct from information you can get to, to form your own opinion, have a spine.

Communication

To me this is crucially the biggest problem we need to solve,

We can respect what someone does and not precisely agree with what they say.

We can respect somebody for standing up for what they believe without having to agree 

We can completely and respectfully disagree without hating them or making a character judgement against them

By now, I’m sure we can all agree, were tired of hating each other, also tired of being told we should hate each other! 

Or being told we hate eachother when we really don’t! 

Media tells us this is what these people think this about you! Or wants this for you! 

When they fucking don’t! 

And that’s both sides! 

And we’re all caught in the middle

You’d be surprised that through conversation, observation, and my own content consumption, that both sides want the same shit,

seriously.

In more cases than not, THE EXACT SAME SHIT.

Both sides blame the other side for THE EXACT SAME SHIT.

Communication is key to success and failure when it comes to relations

Failed relationships, they’re not talking to each other well.

Failed businesses, from within, they’re not taking to eachother well

Social media, in person, culture, society, from observation, we’re not taking to eachother very well

and if we were going to fix that fucking problem it starts with listening

and understanding

and possibly meeting in the middle

or agreeing to disagree without character judgement or belittlement.

Beliefs shouldn’t induce anything,

Beliefs are simply opinions, based on information taken in,

don’t agree? Fine, but decide if you’re going to be open to take in their info, or agree to disagree and leave it at that.

Perspective

Other countries look at us as the same, why can’t we see each other as the same? 

They don’t see democrat or republican, left or right, liberal or conservative, Black, White, Mexican or Asian, they see us as American! 

They see us fighting and burning our own cities and tearing down our own statues, and if some group decided to come in and start world war 3 by taking down America, they wouldn’t come in guns blazing and go

“YOU! WHAT ARE YOUR POLITICAL VIEWS?!”
“WHAT ARE YOUR BELIEFS ON CAPATALISM?!”

They’re killing ALL OF US,😂

What do you think they see when they watch us on the news?
They’re probably thinking, They’re ALL fucked in the head😂😂

We are seen as the same by every other country except our own 

Media

I’m for what land I live on, and what laws and policies affect me directly 

Shouldn’t the news present the information and let us make our own opinions and decisions? 

Not, info here,

ignore that,

here’s what happened,

skip the part we don’t want you to know..

Doesn’t it suck we have different news channels? 

Here’s the thing about media, their main objective that will pay the bills is to garner views, to sell ad space.

And guess what,

The middle doesn’t sell views. 

It pays off for them to be fringe to one side.

And it’s not wrong in my eyes to be honest about the sides, through which the info will filter through.

If I turn on Fox I know it’ll be to the right, if I turn on MSNBC, it is liberal point of view and that’s great.

It is wrong when one pretend to be in the middle, then slide you towards their point of view in the end.

News is no longer journalism, it’s is deceptive activism.

Honesty is best for me, honest about which perspective so that ya citizens can deduct our reasoning.

This is the tail end of main stream media 

For now form your muscle of Deductive Reasoning. 


Personal Interactions

Leadership is not about driving your agenda through somebody,

Step in their shoes understand them 

Try “Help me understand”

“Walk me through, why do you think that way”

Stop trying to win the conversation, and solve the fucking problem

Look I like to think I’m me, and what you see is what you get in my younger years I tried to be cool and trying to put a little extra icing on the cake for no reason and was always left unfulfilled,

But I’ve learned to speak the truth.

Republican or Democrat, those leaders not holding our best interest need to be voted out. 

Plain and simple.

Loyal to a party?

Or loyal to the constitution?

I believe I’m Central thinking, slightly to the conservative right.

The way I see it,

there’s a far 10% to the Right

and a far 10% to the Left,

the other 80% of us, are in the Middle


But what’s being accentuated is the 2% of radical things we disagree on.


Im loyal to who upholds our constitution, the one who maintains opportunity, liberty, freedom with a price, class mobility, and progressive with capitalism, that’s me.

Whoever that is Republican or Democrat, is who I support. 

And believe me, I began to be jaded to one side, I would say “ it’s this sides fault for everything, this side is to blame”,

Until I realized, both sides do shady shit, and both sides do amazing things,

and it’ll come down to the 2% of things they do differently, that represent my beliefs and opinions of the direction I’d want for myself.

And I’m done beating around the bush about it,

A Republican currently represents that for me,

and hey, I’m open to say I’m wrong, if and when I’m wrong,

ask yourself if you’re open to admitting wrong if and when the time comes🤷🏽‍♂️.

A flawed guy, fighting a battle none of us can even imagine,

A flawed guy who is undoubtedly himself,

A guy with experience building, and solving problems, along side real people.

A Republican who was a life long Democrat until 2006

Ask yourself, why did he switch? 

Maybe the same reasons you’re feeling,

If the media has wanted you to be leftist, then they’ve shown you that leftist are people who riot and tear shit down and burn their cities

and they’ve pushed their own people to the right,

Because their own people are looking at this and thinking

“I’m not like that”

“I don’t do any of that stuff, that doesn’t represent me”



Regardless of your beliefs or mine,

we can all have empathy.
