I have to agree. I only read Lauren's work because she is intelligent and is a good writer, but also seems to be lost in her own conspiracy theories as much as QAnoners are lost inside their own minds. So many 'leftists' say they'll never trust or ally with 'centrists', or Democrats, but by doing that they're insuring that change won't come about. This whole idea of labeling people is dividing people, it's drawing boundaries that separate people who have the same end goals. Labels are imagined boundaries, they don't truly exist in reality, only in the minds of those who resort to them. And that has to stop if anything is going to get done.

Everyone needs to get it into their mind that we are all just people, no one is different than anyone else, no one way is the best way, that there are many paths to the same goal and that mentally dividing us is the road to failure. It creates the "Other" and that is no different than what than what the GQP does.

We are people, people, so cut it with the drawing of lines between each other- those lines are in your minds and are imaginary. They are what create division and those imagined divisions create imagined conspiracies.

Let's all just grow up and join hands to work towards the goal we all want. Why give a damn about which politician took the most money from which industry? Doing that accomplishes nothing but does waste precious time that could be better used in creating change.

BE the change you want to see. I know that's a cliché, but it's apt and it's concise. So, take it to heart and learn to work with others, whether you like or admire them or not. We are ALL in this disintegration of life together, all in the same little lifeboat, so learn to work with others without resorting to imagined boundaries.

Those boundaries, those divisions you draw are in your mind, they're IMAGINED BOUNDARIES that you create, they don't exist outside of your belief in them, and shouldn't get in the way of moving forward- it's almost too late already.

Remember that no thing is good or evil in and of itself, other than what you believe it to be. Stop attacking others and work with them to get something done.

Signed,

Well, I've often been called a "Boomer" but that in itself is another imagined boundary that does nothing more than further divide us.
