I've noticed after a conversation with my son that there is no longer a grey area in politics. People have stopped thinking for themselves and have gone with party line ideals. It's strange to me that people have become either red or blue; what we need is a platform for the grey area. Something bigger than the green party. I hear Democrats claim that Republicans are all cult members, but the simple truth is that most are not. Nobody agrees with every Republican or Democrat; we've all stopped thinking for ourselves. For instance, I'm a left-leaning moderate. I own a gun and enjoy my Second Amendment right to own a gun. I believe in capitalism. I also believe that children should not be allowed to have gender-changing surgeries. I don't believe in late-term abortion unless a mother's life is at risk. I believe in gay rights, but I don't believe that transgender people should use bathrooms not assigned to their birth certificate gender, and sports should be men or women competing, not because I don't like trans people, but because I don't trust adults of the opposite sex cohabiting a bathroom with my 8-year-old granddaughter. This is not popular with my Democratic friends, but it's a moral issue. Not all republicans are racists, ive seen plenty of democratic racists throughout my life. This is the grey area I'm talking about. It doesn't mean I'm going to jump on the Republican ticket, though I have voted that way plenty of times. Not all Republicans are against diversity, responsible gun ownership, clean energy, etc. We are all different people with different beliefs, but none of us fit into one label. Very few people actually agree 100% with either party on specific ideals. We have forgotten to think for ourselves. We have been brainwashed to only adhere to one party. This has divided us. The simple fact is we are a nation of many good people with different ideas of a more perfect union. We are all Americans, and we all love our country. There is no need to fight each other because we have more in common than not. We need to stop picking at each other because of what the government is doing or not doing. Our power is our vote. Nothing is gained by arguing endlessly over things we cannot change in each other. Libtards? Repulsicans? Maggots? Left-wing extremists? Just labels they want to stick on us. We are all the same; we all love our country. We never hated each other for it; let's not start now. If push comes to shove and our country is attacked, we come together as one nation. Open your minds and think for yourself. Join the grey area. May you all forgive one another for your arguments and accept that we may differ on certain things but we can not be labeled nor adjusted to fit one party. We are much too unique for that. Vote your conscience and be willing to change your mind as governance is fluid and parties change ideals all the time. Love you all, love my country and love the fact that I can speak freely.

I drove 400 miles and passed by at least three different novel ideas. I could sit in a cafe and look out the window and see an object that inspires me to create a world better than the one I’m living or worse. If only I could remember half of those ideas. 😂 #writerslife
