To the leftwing I would say: Freedom isn't safe, there's always risk in freedom. You have to accept some aspects of risk and danger with freedom.
To the rightwing I would say: Tyranny and shooting people isn't a freedom, so stop selling guns to crazy people. If you can take away a felon's God-given right to vote as a citizen, then you can not sell guns to every nutcase who wants one. And if you think YOU are the nutcase they won't sell to. Maybe you shouldn't own a gun.
If Democrats really want to win over people like me and my family and undo MAGA:
They need to get out of the cities and come to our farms.
They need to see how they are dying. And they need to do more than just say "I see you". Saying it doesn't do anything when you're still pouring billions into corporate processing farms and stone walling family farms with red tape.
We only ever hear from Democrats during election cycles. That's it.
Want rural America to stand with you? You first.
@quinnsentialOne @EelGM to make it easier, here's link to that thread. I hope people read it! https://counter.social/@quinnsentialOne/109425811271266831
Twitter is like that huge crazy party I somehow ended up at where too many obnoxious people are totally sloshed, talking too loud and breaking into fightsโฆ
โฆand CoSo is that cool, quieter but more interesting room that I ducked into to retreat from the noise and just talk and laugh with friendsโฆ๐ ๐๐ฝ๐๐๐ฌ
It's time for me to get up and head out to work, CoSo, but I'm going to ask you to read the back and forth @EelGM and I had about rural America and farms in our posts.
I think it's important. It gets forgotten or ignored in a lot of discourse.
Anyway. Have a good day! ๐

She goes under the knife a week from today (12/5).
Thanks to those who have donated and shared (please share on other platforms as well) and thanks in advance if you do donate as well. Karma says thank you.
OMG THIS SONG AND VIDEO NOOOOO๐ญ ๐ญ
You cannot watch and listen to this without crying by the end. No way.
There are things I have said and done that locks Heaven's door to me. It's my own sobering hell, and I was the one who put myself in there. I've got nobody to blame but me.
That doesn't mean I won't rain my own hell down on the mechanisms that guided me there.
"I am the righteous hand of God, and I am the devil that you forgot."
The music has been hitting extra hard tonight.๐ญ
Listening to this with the rain pitter pattering outside my window.
Yes, please. ๐
