In light of recent events, everyone seems to be at each others throat. People seem to be forgetting some very common sense facts, which is causing an even further divide. Allow me to refresh your memory.
1. Not all republicans/conservatives/right wings are sexist, racist, homophobic, intolerant white supremacists.
Are there some? Yes, yes there are. Do they make up the majority? Absolutely not. Stop judging an entire political party by the acts and beliefs of a few bad apples.
2. On that same note, not all democrats/liberals/left wings are violent, tree-hugging, unemployed crybabies.
Again, there are some. But contrary to popular belief, and media coverage, they do not make up the majority. STOP GENERALIZING PEOPLE.
3. Feminism in not about the hatred of men or the superiority of women.
Feminism is about the equality of every person- regardless of their gender, sexuality, race, religion, etc. The women and men promoting hate in the name of feminism are NOT feminists.
4. It is okay to disagree with the president.
The first amendment calls for freedom of speech. While I agree that it can be taken too far, we have nothing if we don't have the right to speak our mind. What is not okay is attacking the man's family, especially his 10 year old son for crying out loud! What is wrong with you people?
5. It is possible to respectfully disagree, with anyone.
We're human. It is impossible for every single person to agree on every single thing. What is possible is to state your opinion in a respectful way, and listen to the other person's point of view as well. Even if you still disagree, hopefully you'll walk away with new information and maybe a new point of view.
6. YOU NEED TO TIP YOUR WAITER/WAITRESS.
I know this has nothing to do with current vents, but come on. Most servers make around $2.15 an hour. Regardless of your political beliefs/values, tipping is cool. Don't be that person that doesn't tip/undertips.
