I’m not sure I have an answer to that given I’ve never been politically driven one way or the other. I was raised, as an oldest of three girls, to set an example, but also put down when I tried to exert my rights (eg., sister runs by me, kicks me in the kidneys, got up to go after her, told to sit down, and when protesting ‘you always told me to fight my own fights,’ apparently that was the wrong answer). Highly dysfunctional my family was. What shocks me though is my father’s attitude now, given that I was also raised to think independently and to question everything (note: he is the partner of a now retired pharmacist, and they think that technology will save all, with which I strongly disagree, but I am a land dweller, as opposed to a city dweller). I’m not a conservative, nor am I liberal. I do not care about these nomenclatures. I am a free thinking human being and I do care about where we are headed (not a good place, in my mind). So, to this I say, no matter your race or creed, your politics or not, your gender (OMF, don’t get me started on that), your country, whatEVER…this is about HUMAN rights. Which, by the way, certainly does not mean obliterating the planet by way of PROFIT. We are currently all puppets in a grand puppet show. It is time to stop the madness.
