If you’re republican, you’re racist. 

If you’re liberal, you’re ignorant.

If you’re independent, you’re uneducated. 

We need to use force and power to protest. 

No no no, you need to protest peacefully, that’ll work better. 

Okay, well maybe we should change the subject, let’s talk about gas prices. They are wayyy too high.

I disagree, the prices went up because the demand for gas went up since we’re out of quarantine.

Well what about the whole love is love thing? God created man and women to love one another and if two men are together, that would be considered sinful. 

Why? It doesn’t matter what gender you are or who you love. God created humans to love humans, gender shouldn’t have to play a role in this. 

Okay, since we’re on the topic of gender, I think there should only be two. You’re either born a female or male. There’s no in-between. 

Actually, there are many different genders you can identify with, and no one can control how they feel. If you aren’t comfortable in your own skin, why continue living that way, just change it. 

How can you change the gender you’re born with. God made you the way you are. Just accept it.

It’s not like that whatsoever.

Umm yeah okay, let’s stop there. I think we all can agree that this debate is not going to end well. Also, while we’re on the topic of stopping before things really get heated, I think we all need to stop, take a second, and realize how ridiculous that conversation sounded. Our country is so split, and it has caused so much trouble in our world. We need to start seeing people for who they really are, not just their beliefs. Someone’s political standpoint does not, whatsoever, define them as a person. Let’s say I don’t believe in abortion, well I guarantee that if I said that around someone who disagrees with me, there would be quite the argument. But what you do not know, is even though I do not believe in abortion, I still understand why someone would get one. I would still support and love any friend, or family member who gets one. Just because I would never do it, does not mean I would not still love and support someone going through it. Not everyone is going to have the same beliefs as you, and that’s okay. Whether you are liberal, republican, or independent, you are still you. You can still treat people with kindness, respect, and fairness. We are all human and we all think differently. Instead of hating on each other for that, let’s embrace it and be okay with our differences! Let’s stop judging one another, and let’s just work to be the best people we can be.
