I'm going to share a quote from a local mom that has awakened since 2020. She had advocated reopening schools, even when her own were little and not in the district yet. Our local area has become fairly toxic over the last decade or so and it became quite amplified 2020-now
During this time, @dailyherald runs a local "Everything *hometown*" Facebook group. Due to the censorship, another local friend created a "Really Everything *hometown*" uncensored group, which has grown because people can talk freely and debate without censorship or bullying.
A woman questioned my friend as to how she could possibly ever vote for a single GOP candidate. My friend (MA) has been a Democrat her adult life. This was her response:
see, I actually have come to view the Democrat party as the more divisive and authoritarian party.

If you don’t agree with a Democrat on every “we believe” statement, you’re silenced, canceled, labeled, or ostracized (as I have personally experienced).
They (Dems) are the party of mandates, not freedom of choice.

They are the party of MORE government control, not less.
They want to dictate who can speak and what can be said and look to censor people that ask questions or challenge the party’s narrative.
The reason this page was created is because so many of us that asked fair questions or offered different perspectives on the @dailyherald “Everything”page had posts/comments that were deleted by the administrators and then we were restricted from engaging in any online discourse
The Democrats enlist elite politicians, celebrities, and rich, privileged people to speak on behalf of everyday, hard-working people, as if they know what’s best for us.
The Democrats seek to divide us further by focusing on our skin color, or gender, or sexual orientation, or religion, when at the end of the day- WE ARE ALL AMERICANS.
The Democrats are teaching our youth to hate America and focus on all of our problems instead of focusing on all of the progress and adversity we continue to overcome. They are ultimately the party of division.
The current Democrats in power do not focus on the most important issues that impact everyday people and instead continuously try to distract us from what matters.
Is the economy better with Democrats in power? Is crime better in Democrat run cities? Is education better in Democrat run states? NO. It’s not.
I can keep going. While I do NOT align with everything the Republicans stand for, I have still been accepted by the Republicans for my differences of opinion.
I have seen and heard how they want limited government control and believe in a party of the people, by the people, and for the people, and I’ve come to realize that’s what I believe in.
I am tired of all the divisive rhetoric of the left. I just want to see our country restored to a place where we can have civil conversations and not hate one another. - MA #HowTheLeftLostMe #twill
