"Agreeing To Disagree"
Last week, I had a very unpleasant experience. It has taken me a week just to talk about it. I was sharing truth about trump and/or republicans in general which I believe are indisputable to anyone with a 3rd grade education, critical skills training and a passion to live an honest ethical life.
However, this highly successful business woman made a comment that I just could not believe came from an intelligent, rational human being. She responded, after I deleted her comment on my Facebook post and I sent her a personal message to tell her how much I cared for her and was worried about her. This was her response: "Ricky: I believe you will soon find out the real truth about many things! We can agree to disagree and will visit together when the TRUTH is revealed"
That is the talk of a cultist in my opinion. The truth has already been revealed. Joe Biden was honestly and fairly elected to be our President. When trump and his minions swore it was not true, 40 or 50 court cases all said it was true. Furthermore, trump's hand picked Supreme Court and his republican Attorney General all agreed that it was a free and fair election.
However, trump and according to a recent poll, 65% of his cult followers all continue to swear that President Joe Biden did not receive the most votes and many swear that trump will regain the White House before 2024. :-(
This is madness and anyone who "Agrees to Disagree" is following into their trap of lies and deception. We don't and should not "Agree to Disagree", because it is a flat lie. We should be firm and call a Lie a Lie. If not, we risk trump running again and more of his minions being elected by these blind sheep and cultists.

As for my friend, I still love her and I am praying for her. However, I will not "Agree to Disagree" because that is asking me to accept proven lies as truth.

3 年I'll just say it again ... I wish people would make these opinions on platforms like Facebook and NOT on a business platform. So disappointing what LinkedIn has turned into.

3 年Well said, Ricky. Thank you. Facts are not opinions. Agreeing to disagree is what happened in Germany in the 30s.
