I’m a moderate originally from the Midwest, and I can’t take the hating anymore.

America’s house is burning, and the minority extremists on both sides continue to fight with each other on who started the fire and make no attempts to put the damn thing out.

In simple terms, the far left are the Socialists, DEI, the Everyone’s a Victim movement, and the optional application of federal laws.

The far right is no better: Allowing guns in every household, election denials, religious influencers, vigilante justice, to list a simple few.

Because these two extreme political minorities get the majority of news coverage and shout loudly and make threats and hate on each other, the pragmatic majority middle gets ignored and disenfranchised.

It’s lonely in the middle.

But the middle are now 43% of the voters most all sick and tired with the incessant fighting on both sides.

The middle coming together as a unified voice have the opportunity to hold this broken political system to accountability.

They don’t quibble on how to turn the hose on and know it is way too late to play the blame game. They are can-do by nature.

So pragmatic moderates need to speak up and not be dominated by the loud minority. We need to accept the fact that we have no ethical president to elect.

But we need to get off the sidelines and restrict the elected officials running wild with hard-nosed pragmatic action.

I still have immense pride in the AMERICAN CAN-DO SPIRIT. The world is watching and praying that we once again save modern democracy.

Let’s rise up and put out the fire.
