Alert: Republicans are trying to ban, in one word, Empathy.
I repeat, Republicans are trying to ban empathy.
Every single item or issue the Republican representatives & government officials are banning, teaches our children to be empathetic to others’ struggles and challenges so we may live in a caring, compassionate society where we all help each other, regardless of race, gender/gender identity, or religion.
You know, where all of us are considered equally important and are equally deserving of respect.
Republicans don’t want that. Republicans want us to hate each other so we’ll buy MORE guns, kill more of each other, so they can say we need even MORE guns. It’s a death circle in order to keep themselves in power and their pockets full of cash. They don’t CARE. Absolutely despicable behavior.
With this in mind, listen to Ali Velshi’s April 2, 2023 segment on MSNBC. As he states:
“Beware those who will try to convince you that the safety of children is their number one priority. Spoiler alert: it’s not.”
Beware those who will try to convince you that the safety of children is their number one priority. Across the country Republicans are banning books, banning lessons on race, banning healthcare for trans children, blaming video games, banning drag shows, banning sex education, banning almond milk, banning Michelangelo's anatomically correct statue of David - all in the name of protecting children. Those things don’t hurt children, but military-style lethal weapons that are legally purchased by people who wish to inflict harm on others do.”
And, I agree with Ali Velshi, Republicans need to starting caring about the safety of our children. By the way, I include all of us in that sentiment because we’re all someone’s child, aren’t we?
No matter how old we get, we are someone’s child, so in protecting our youngest, we also protect our oldest. ❤️🕯☮️
