Why Do Conservatives hates Liberals, other Americans?

What is up? why all the hate? Winning an argument is great. I love trying to win a debate or an argument. I love trying to get someone to change their mind and for me to prove I am right. Liberals are worse than Russians. In 2016 election, Trump supporters liked Putin over Hillary Clinton? Why? WTF? Why the need to troll, to own the libs? Why the need to hate? Why would you never agree or vote for the other party? why would a conservative never vote for a liberal, especially when there are more common economic links than ever before. Liberals are not Americans? Liberals are criminals? Pedophiles? Sex rings? really? We are Americans and love our country. I do not know any liberal that hates their country, even Rosie O'Donnell who moved away. I might complain, bitch and be upset over some item, the past, an event, but I love my country and the Constittution. I love my fellow Americans. All Americans want to live a life in freedom, in peace. Americans want good doctors, good roads, good schools. Americans want to be safe and protected. Americans want the same thing, but how we get there is different. We do have the same belief in American ideals: individual worth, compromise, free enterprise, equality, limited government. We even might have different definitions on these ideals but we agree on most of them. We love our country. Conservatives and liberals love our country. Why all of the hate on Liberals? Liberals are not the enemy? Liberals are not criminals, marxist, communnist hating America people. We believe in the flag, the country, the Constittuion. We love the country with all of our heart, just like Conservatives. Many liberals are religious and if they are not they do not want your church destroyed or eliminated. Liberals do not want open borders and they are not trying to cheat by allowing undocumented people to vote. They do not even know what the White Replacement theory is and have not heard of it (most Americans). Liberals believe in the value and worth of immigrants. We have a border and always did, and you could not just cross without showing documents-that is not an open border. (Please remember we had open borders from 1492-1920-no issues with border at all-see Ellis Island). We do not want criminals, drug dealders, cartel members or terrorists coming into the country. We like due process to know who we are putting in jail, or removing from the country-it is in the Constittuion-use it. Liberals support public education and want public schools to be great, the best. We just do not think helping private schools, with vouchers and school choice is the answer. Arizona has been a big promoter of vouchers and private schools, homeschooling and if these worked, AZ would be improving in education not getting worse. The federal government cannot support both public schools and pay for private schools too and keep the standards high with low taxes and cutting budgets. Liberals are not pro abortion and want every woman to get an abortion. It is a choice and as a conservative, you should not want the government making health care decisions for you. A conservative wants government not to be involved in a personal, important family decision. It is not my call unless I am in the situation. If I am in the situation with a surprise pregancy, the decision should be between my doctor, my wife, my family, not a legislature or governor or President. Most issues can be compromise-taxes, spending, health care, debt, libraries, roads-we do not have to hate each other on these. The culture wars are made up by the media. Abortion, death penalty, guns, church and god are culture ideas we can live together with-we might not agree but we do not need to hate and dispise each other. I do not know the facts but I would guess that abortions are performed for both liberals, conservatives and independents, non affliated-you can't tell me only liberals have abortions. Liberals have and love guns, just like conservatives. The trans issue is mostly about women's sports and is a tough issue-only 50 trans female athletes in high school and college with over 500,000 athletes-not a big number to cause all the fuss. I thought conservatives were about freedom to live and let live-to be left alone-well, why not with trans people-all trans people. They are not evil or the devil. Gay and lesbians, bi people are not evil or the devil-they want to live a peaceful life without drama. Have any of these people hurt you? How? Have they destroyed your life, because many of their lives have been trampled on and suicide rates on LGBTQ are higher than any other demographic group. Part of an issue that liberals have with conservatives is that you do not practice Jesus teachings: love your neighbor, blessed are the meek, the poor, help the stranger. Liberals do not see conservatives practice Jesus or Christian teachings-we see hate and biogtry-that is not Jesus but the current church. We Americans have more in common than not. We work, travel, go to stores and help each other daily. We go to sport events, movies together and love the events. We are daily with and around each other and get along. We are kind 95% of the time. It is only when we talk politcs or religion we get off the mark. And most of the hate is online not in person. Don't hate, listen. Listen to other points of view and be empathetic-see from the other point of view. Be kind. Be loving. Be caring. Be human Listen. We are all people. We are all Americans. Love each other.

Why I quit Teaching

Teaching for 22 years was fun. In my classe, we could have discussions and talk about slavery, civil rights, gay marriage or gay rights, women's rights and equlity. Talking, discussing and challenging each other was interesting and fun. Students would have points of view, were respectful and talked. We had no omplaints, no parent calls, no questioning "is this in the curriculum?" I would have students bring in and talk about current events, election news and laws or Supreme Court cases. We had school wide and class elections on current candidates and subjects. It was fun to talk and discuss politics, history and government. Sometimes a class was conservative and i wopuld bring up liberal point of view and sometimes the class was liberal and I brought up the conservative point of view. I would quote Regean, Obama, Bush, Carter, Clinton and Trump. I would say when they were right and wrong. We would discuss the Constitution court cases. Now, I have to watch what I say?!! Did I offend anyone? Did I say something wrong? Did a student say something wrong? Is the textbook biased? Can we discuss racial issues? Can we discuss equality? Equity? The textbooks are attachked and the question is, do we we discuss January 6 or September 11? Is slavery a topic to talk about? 3/5 compromise? Would I say something wrong? Was it needed? Hell, even you are welcome here is seen as political. Students can feel open to discriminate, talk poorly about someone. I never gave referrals until the end when students were mean to other students. They were offensive but nothing was done. I sent title 9 referrals and the District did nothing. White students were protected from feeling upset but minoority students were not protected. The "N word" was heard more and more. Language got wrorsee and worse. It was ugly at the end of my career I had students say rude things to other students in front of the class. We had rules to protect the safety of students, but the administration did not back up the teachers. The parents who were loudest won. Parents were banning books and asking for my curriculum, my lesson plan, they won. I had students complete market research for our Market Day project, and the groups were asking for pronouns and this was seen by the GoldWater Institute as a violation and issue for my teaching-it was done by students, for my students but the survey asking for pronouns was seens as harmful and poor teaching. Individual teachers and lessons in Arizona were attacked and contacted to back up their lessons. I limited my Socratic seminars and limited the discussions in my classroom. I had to change nmy teaching methods and curriculum so not to get in trouble or the get on the radar of groups. No teacher or school district indoctrinates students. We are not promoting a gay lifestyle or any lifestyle. We want to be nice and suppoert students. We are not liberal trolls or bots telling students what to think or believe. Critial thinking is both required and needed and then attaked by parents and students. Critical thinking means we want students to see all sides, get research, information and listen. We want students to lear but we want students protected and to feel safe. some students do not want to listen or hear from anything different. I do not nor have , nor do I seen any teacher have an agenda for students. I do not want nor have I seen anyone in my departemebnt want to embarass studebnts or make them feel bad or wrong. We want students to look at both sides, to think and decide for themselves. We want students to see our history, the good and bad and make up their own opinions. In my class and at my schools, everyone is American, everyone is human. Can we not see good in everyone? Is this so bad? I see students act as snowflakes on both sides. Students will complain and point fingers at each other. Students think that each side is wrong, each side is unAmerican or each side is "dumb, stupid or other degrotatory terms. We see the other side as corrupt, facts are wrong, can't think. This gets overwhelming, it gets emotional and it hurts. It makes the day go longer and teachers have to react or corret students and this is difficult in this environment. Teaching is no longer fun when students do not want to listen or respect other view points. Teaching is not longer exciting or helpful when everyone is looking for a mistake or did he say that?!?! I am sad. I am longful for the old days. Were they so different? What changed? what haopened? Teaching is no longer fun? I do not see teachers respected, or helped. I see teahcers and education attacked, challenged and seen as the enemy. We are not the enemy. We are neighbors, friends. experts in our curriculum. We know the subject and students. We are disregarded and thrown aside. We are attacked as bad people, liberal and out of touch. I loved my students and I loved my job. I loved coming to work and talking and creating lessons. I loved my work and loved my career. Times have changed. People have changed. I do not love teaching anymore. this is so sad.

Are we too divided? Should we Split up? Are we the United States?

We have been divided before. In our founding, the Federalists and Antifederalists had major differences and we might have been one vote away from a League of Friendship like Europe forever. From the pre Civil War, civil War and Reconstruction we lost over 600,000 people and had a war showing our differences. In the 1960's we had cities burning, riots, protests and assisinations. So is today the most divided we have ever been? No. It does seem that the Supreme Court and Republican party are making many moves, laws, rights according to States Rights and brining us to the Articles of Confederation. The Supremacy clause is being ignored by states, courts and institutions. We are having decisions like Dobbs that what rights you have depends on the state you live in. 10 Commandments in classes, due process for people, the Bible in classes, what is taught in history (non white or minority history being erased), birth control, gun rights, death penalty are all state by state issues now, and people are ok with this. I always aske my class, should we become 50 different countries or divide up geographically or politically. Everyone says no, we like the United States. Seems the idea is great but the practice is we are separate countries. Where a girl is born is a huge consequence today. If you are LGBTQ, you are losing rights faster than you know it and where you live is critical. If we were the United States, the rights you have would be identical in all states. The freedom of speech is seen as universal in all states, but it is being attacked too. But some rights are national and then others are by state. This is chaotic, problematic and causes stress and concern to people's lives and circumstances. We need to decide to divide or if we truly are the United States, act like it. Politicans, governors, senators and justices need to look at the Supremacy clause, the Constitution and follow it as it was supposed to be. States were not all powerful under the Constitution, they had s sphere of influence but not a separe country. It seems like the US is drifting and we do not know where we are going. People are confused and politicans are trying to hold onto power. Chaos is here. The Courts will not help us, they are giving power away and acting like Confederates. Any thoughts? Should we divide? Is there hope to come together and be the United States. I hope so. My wish is yes. We have more in common then we think. We work, go to the store, go to games, movies and we act kindly, safely and nicely. We are a good people. We can come togehter, we just have to start thinking it is possible. We have to believe and act like it accordingly.
