A lot of people say politics is boring, ugly, corrupt, etc. Easy button to not engage I guess. I grew up in a political household. I was 7 when Roe went down and my parents had us out there marching around planned parenthood. My late dad was an 'old school' D and very involved , remember going door to door with him in grade school. We talked politics at the dinner table. I left the D reservation in the 80's., although still supported a few D's here and there up until the Obama years when the party took a hard left turn. My dad was starting to see the light before he passed in 2014. It's just in my blood I guess, have always been involved but most of my friends just don't 'get it'. Have a new tribe since covid but lots of people new to all this, and new folks make lots of rookie mistakes. But we are all learning and need to quit bickering over tactics and unite under one big strategy grounded on the things we can all agree on. And that's locally, regionally, and nationally. Thank you for stepping up and getting educated!! My sister is in So Cal and a lonely conservative. She dipped her toe in the water back in 2020 and got involved with the Trump campaign but has since thrown up her hands due to ballot harvesting.
I "hate" political shenanigans as well--but I LOVE my freedom...and "free"dom is NEVER free...we must exercise our God-given, Constitutional rights in order to KEEP THEM STRONG--just like our muscles. Our country is now WEAK and FLABBY--ripe for the takeover by stronger, more arduous and dedicated to their "cause" country (China).

Thanks I will pass those on!
So...you're the "apple" that didn't fall far from the "tree" of political activism--what a grand heritage to have, Donna.
Funny none of my other 3 sisters caught that bug. One does not even follow it at all, and if I try to talk to her, says she 'hates politics'.
