Where Are the &#@%! Moderates!?
We need them, and if you’re not one…please SHUT UP!
I’m sick, tired, and exasperated at what has become of our society, especially when it comes to politics. And even religion. And also sex, science… Yeah, come to think of it, pretty much everything!
I’m sick of it. Sick of the noise. Sick of the rage. Sick of the all-or-nothing, scream-until-you-win culture that’s turned politics, religion, science, sex — everything — into a bitter, joyless battlefield.
We’ve become a &#@%! mess.
We don’t listen. We don’t reason. We sure don’t love our neighbor.
We just shout louder. Shame harder. Cancel faster. And if we can’t control someone, we try to crush them.
It’s ripping our country apart. It’s poisoning our communities. It’s unraveling our future.
And if we want a world worth handing to our kids, we better stop this &#@%! nonsense — and stop it now.
