When you do get fired up and you’re right, it just flows out of you. It’s like the Holy Spirit takes over. It’s happened to me. I’ve been known to shut down conversations with rants like Julia’s. They know they cannot win against me, they didn’t expect it to get that far. They fully expect to be able to just shoot their mouths off without being countered. Nor did they expect someone like me to get up and say anything contrary to them and be correct. That truly blows their mind. They rapidly change the subject after that. 😂

@@Ash_W04Dixie Carter was like what many Republicans in the U.S. were like until about the late 1980's. She was not an outspoken flaming liberal like the character she played, but she shared many of Julia Sugarbaker's views, especially with valuing education and intellectual open-mindedness, and supporting and promoting LGBTQ, women and minorities' civil rights, etc. The extreme right-wing shift in the Republican Party started in the 1970's, and the crazy anti-science, anti-establishment streak really took off during the Obama presidency. Then, it was taken over by Trumpist white nationalism. Dixie Carter would not recognize, nor support the current GOP.

Because people fail to accept that we have to be a collective in order to progress. We have to be progressive. We have to elect progressives like Bernie FUCKING Sanders. We have to see everyone as American, without any difference between "legal" and "illegal" status. We have to see all abuses and murders committed against the Black and Brown communities as atrocities on us all. We have to see the destruction and theft of treatied land of the Indigenous as land theft on us all (and also recognise/accept that the entirety of the Americas belongs originally to the American Indigenous Peoples and them alone. That white Anglican people stole it.). Until we start seeing ourselves as a whole instead of individuals, we will never get to where we should be.

Loved this woman❣️ My precious liberal-leaning, still learning, adult son sent this video to me, to make a point to this “conservative”mom, lol!, and this is what I wrote back to him, and still feel this way: ‘’❤️ YES! YES! Love her❣️Now...THAT is why I don’t completely fit in, I am in between the right and left, the Church-going Christian(who have little to nothing to do with me because I don’t “love God enough” and am not the “right” kind of Christian)and the non-believer(they don’t get me either, because I have a ‘fairy God’ I love). Remember, son, when we first started out homeschool, went to flag, pledged, had devotional/prayer, each morning etc?...I wanted to expose you to those things so you could make your OWN decision about what to do with those things in your life. I felt they were important, but knew y’all would have to decide for yourselves. DIDNT want you to be spoonfed, to search things out for yourselves, to parrot no one, not even me, your mom, but have your own beliefs. We dropped the pledge eventually, but, not the devotions, at least for a while longer, until y’all got old enough to have prayer or devotions on your own, because, being your mom, and a Christian, I still wanted to teach you there is a God who loves you enough to die for you. Still, all of those things are for individuals to make the ultimate decision, not me. I could only choose for me. Remember how, when people screamed about no prayer in school, or having prayer at games, and I told y’all that no one anywhere can ever STOP you from praying if you desire?...so I never signed those petitions pushed at me to ”get prayer back in school”, (because they had no idea the whole Pandora’s box it would open)and was ostracized by some Christians because , in their mind, there was ‘no way I could be a”true believer” ‘ and do that. Yes, judgement comes from both sides...and I have gotten to experience both. I loved Dixie Carter, loved to hear her talk, express her views, even if they weren’t mine❤️ and I’m not even a liberal😂 I love you, dear son❤️”

@M M You must not have read past the word “Christian”, lol! Seemed to have triggered you, for some reason. You know, every parent, who loves their children, strives to give them the best of themselves...no, not to ‘brainwash’ them, (all parents teach their children, even yours did, I assume), but to show them that they, too, can choose the best for themselves when they go out into the world. They can choose, when they go, to keep parts,or all of what they learned from me, or throw it all completely away...that is their choice. But I had to be true to myself in teaching and raising them, so they can know the importance of being true to themselves when they enter the adult world and are on their own. And they ARE true to themselves: they don’t stand in judgement of others, (like so many, especially now, seem to do)or ridicule what others believe, knowing that others have the same right as they do to seek their own answers for themselves and have their own beliefs, and they are definitely not spoon fed...by anyone. No, I have nothing to be ‘ashamed’ of. I’m very proud of the young adults they have become, and I completely enjoy the relationship we have.

@M M No, you made yourself clear. We’ll just have to agree to disagree. You don’t wait for your children to grow up to live out whatever you believe. Did you? You have to be all of who you are in front of your children, faults, beliefs, morals, and all, otherwise, you are being a hypocrite. You seem to harbor an issue with ‘religion’. ‘Religion’ was invented by man, as a way to find God, truth, purpose, or what have you. ‘Christianity’, or Christ, is what God gave man in order for man to find Him and His truth, salvation. Christianity is not about religion, but a personal relationship with Christ. That is why it will not ‘die as other religions’, because...it isn’t. Our children can always choose for themselves what path they will take. I know I did.
