And that's horrible, it sucks you had to deal with that.

Some people can't be saved, but that isn't everyone.

@quinnsentialOne @OracleSpirit @MindfulWilliam That is my point. I'm a former SW. I have seen more toxic family members than you will ever know. IMHO: equating a willingness to save "family" with being willing to save a stranger is disingenuous. I try my best. That's all I can do.

@ZoraTheTruckerDog @OracleSpirit @MindfulWilliam
I know there are exceptions and circumstances to every person, but I would stand by the generalization.

These days, I see so many people disowning family and friends JUST because of political arguments and beliefs without understanding why those differences and beliefs exist in the first place.

@quinnsentialOne @OracleSpirit @MindfulWilliam Is it a political disagreement or a VALUES disagreement. I've had many friends of different political views. Had healthy debates. When that changed to racism, sexism, antisemitism, that was something I could not accept. When they thought I should die because of my values, THAT"S when I was done!

@ZoraTheTruckerDog @OracleSpirit @MindfulWilliam
You still have to figure out if those values are set in the heart or in the mind.

There is a huge information prison in the Republican party right now that manipulates emotion and instills hate as the default.

My Dad truly believes that LGBT people are brainwashing all children to be gay or trans. Every piece of information he sees is telling him that. There's no counter to that inside the bubble.

I believed it too. 😏
