Gone are the days of monsters hiding in closets or under the bed…
Our nightmares now play out in real time horror like an episode of the tv show 24.

I would love to see unity but at what price?
There is no unity without accountability!
You cannot support the overthrow of our democracy while refusing to hold the person who led the insurrection accountable and expect the rest of us to just move on like nothing happened.
At this point I would rather see the radicalized portion of our society exiled to a place far away from the rest of us.
It would be entertaining to see how they fair stewing in their own hatred and fighting amongst themselves while Fox media incites and cheers them on.
Then the rest of us can move forward with maintaining a more equitable union.
If you can’t play nice in the sandbox you no longer get to play in the sandbox. You don’t get to hit the other children over the head and take their toys! That seems fair right?
There are rules! There have to be rules.
There are morally and ethically responsible ways to resolve our differences and they must be adhered to.
I cannot in good faith be unified with anyone who doesn’t respect and support the rules of our democracy.
So if the price for unity is being willing to overlook domestic terror and violence, then I will have to take a hard pass!

Delta Dawn, Angie Baby, I Am Woman, we belted out as teenagers up in your room. We were ready for life to be different, better, than what we had come to know as normal. I wanted equality, empowerment, women’s rights, and I thought you did too.
Perhaps like Angie we were living in a world of make believe?
Since then our paths could not have been more divergent.
You support ideologies that would take women back 100 years and I support the opposite.
I miss those teenagers their whole lives in front of them. We were on the same page for a minute it seemed.
Like much of America, so divided and polarized now, I wonder if there is any chance of opposing sides finding common ground and coming together for the good of the nation.
Well maaaybeee…
