We should not have to worry re: talking about politics. Whether we may lose friends or connections old and new. We should not have to feel guarded and leery to state how we feel! We have FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Every one of us has this right. To speak, to share our opinions of what is going on in our country around us. If we are not abusing people or slandering, etc, we are not being 'hateful'. If we are merely stating facts or our opinions, that does not make us bad. If we use the term 'illegal' for those entering our country 'unlawfully', that does not make us racist. These people chose to violate the law and therefore it is a fact, they are illegally here.
We need to put aside the labels and continue to fight for what we believe in with courage. We must not fear what others say and think. We must not fear how others view us, due to their differing of opinions! Things are very polarized right now. Very extreme. I agree, it is very difficult to bridge this division. However, we should not let it silence us. Staying silent will not help anything. We may need to learn how to respectfully disagree and not 'react' to others extreme behavior, but if we want things to get better, we must NOT stay silent.
Enjoy the freedom of speech and let yourself free by speaking. We are in times when all voices matter and when we are united, all voices become one very loud voice that cannot be ignored. Not because we are yelling, but because we have shown what we defend and believe - Together.
