First of all, it’s nice to read a piece of yours and agree with it … reminds me of 2018 or so. This is the same message I’ve been sharing in my writing and am going to share a link to my 3-post blog series on a musician named Ren Gill who I believe is doing an incredible job of putting into the world art that is unifying people from all backgrounds.

Before I do, though, I’ve left something unsaid in that first paragraph, which is why I’ve not been agreeing with/resonating with your posts the past few years: I’m a liberal yet over the past few years I’ve found myself too often in the crosshairs of people who claim to be progressive or liberal but who are increasingly comfortable with a worldview that denies diversity of thought, that sees anyone who doesn’t agree with them as a threat, as a right-winger, as a fascist, etc.

People like Russell Brand, Joe Rogan and Bret Weinstein all have been dehumanized by this political movement claiming to value diversity, to promote tolerance. Unfortunately, governments have aligned with Big Tech to increasingly promote this unipolar worldview—-it’s no more than an extension of GW Bush’s “either with us or against us” mentality but now it’s being turned more and more on domestic populations. Read/listen to the work of Whitney Webb, also a gal who considers herself from the Left, for more details.

The point is, I don’t know why writers like you who have such a broad perspective, who write pieces like this powerful one, are solely focused on the Right as the avenue for fascism to roll down. It’s coming from BOTH directions, just has different toppings.

And yes, big-hearted, Big Love people exist on ALL sides, too. Anyway, I’d love if a piece like this means you’re interested in finding ways to love conservatives. That’s my heartfelt prayer for you.

Anyway, here’s my article which has no politics, but lots and lots of love:
