27. I know you're a very empathetic individual...
D&D'ers are people that play Dungeons and Dragons, the comment you made about them was a little out of character for you in its broad brush stroke.

As far as reaching out to the white washed (the propagandized) I agree but many dont/wont/cant do that. I find it hard to tell them otherwise for I have endless empathy for those who feel the opression that is only now just starting.

For many feel that all logic does point to election fraud, maybe not proof (which is a fairly hard thing to define for some of us now-a-days in regards to anything the media or government puts out as such). That in turn furthers a feeling of hopelessness of winning any elections that are "big" and play into the grand schemes of Washington on more than a sycophantic level.

Im really uncertain if "winning" (honorable) elections is possible anymore without a supporting majority of over 60-65%, that is a huge and long percentage deficit to overcome in this day and age. Maybe we can do it through empathy and understanding alone but maybe we can't, maybe it needs a confluence of many factors and many fronts??

I have no answers, I have some feelings and hunches. I have reached no "higher plain" (though I think thank you for that), I have very bad days that call into question my core beliefs of pacifism and my spiritual choices.

The process of being able to stand back and clinically observe the situation with dispassion and unbiased attitude is much to ask for from anyone on all topics political in America these days.... maybe with a little more time and maybe winning a few battles in the Senate will do much to ease the paranoia filled lives more and more of us our leading, I don't know...

Lastly, "I don't want to see them hurt" either. That statement alone covers all your prior reasoning which is just about fine as can be with me.

Peace to you Apple.
