I’m so frightened with the direction we’re headed. My coworkers are all crazy liberal. I needed a break today so I stayed home from the negativity.

@mironedaysoon6959

I feel for you. I had only one liberal person around me and I walked away from her. It's like they are suffering from insanity.

@dlbriley8884

I live at a small Lake community. I decide to be elected on the board. Not even 6 months on I am ready to resign.

@MeatPuppet1962

Limit their access to your reality.

You killed it, Pinball! How can people not see evil for what it is?

@sharonthepartyqueen5374

They don’t have God in their heart so they don’t have eyes to see.

@littleladybug1501

No discernment and spiritually blind. It's expected in some people but in someone who is christain it should not be so.

@normawong123

Fear is a big factor because many don't want to believe that evil exists and they are scared to see true evil.
