conservative politicians: middle america is dying, small farming towns are falling into ruin and communities that have lived together for generations are being forced apart. here's a scapegoat to blame.

democratic politicians: the agricultural prosperity of middle america is fundamentally unsustainable, but the dissolution of small tows is the inevitable result of industrial capitalism. We need to limit corporate land ownership and agricultural monopolies, offer affordable grocery options instead of predatory dollar stores, and invest in better connecting rural and urban communities through public infrastructure in order to support their existence. We can't go back to the way things were, that was never a model that could last in the 21st centurey, but we can work together to find a new path forward no it's not, you hicks are just crazy and stupid.

One of the most important things to unpack and unlearn when you’re part of a white supremacy saturated society (i.e. the global north) and especially if you were raised in an intensified form of it (evangelicism, right wing politics, explicit racism) is the urge to punish and take revenge.

It manifests in our lives all the time and it is inherently destructive. It makes relationships and interactions adversarial for no good reason. It undermines cooperation and good civic order. It worsens some types of crime. It creates trauma, especially in children.

Imagine approaching unexpected or unacceptable behavior from a perspective of "how can this be stopped, and prevented" instead of "you’re going to regret this!”

Imagine dealing with a problem or conflict from the perspective of “how can this be solved in a way that is just and restorative” instead of “the people who caused this are going to pay.”

How much would that change you? How much would that have changed for you?

the "monogamy is the default" factoid is actually false, monogamy george, a traveling salesman from the 1960's who was in thousands of monogamous relationships all across the US, was an outlier and should not have been counted.
