Cheers for taking the time to explain it
I also have dissatisfaction with the way the country is going, but my dissatisfaction is directly linked to the rallies etc from yesterday.
I'm middle aged, white and Christian. The views of Musk and the organisers of yesterday's march couldn't be further from what I'd regard as typical, traditional values of this country.
I live in a vibrant genuinely multicultural city and have friends from all walks of life, from across the world and from a wide variety of religious backgrounds.
The demonisation of certain sectors of the community, regardless of what the actual majority of people within those sectors have done, is deeply problematic for me.
I've always felt that all sides will tend to have more in common than media and political cartoonisation gives nuance for, and as The Gaffer said, this isn't really the forum to thrash that stuff out.
Twas interesting to hear what it meant to you, and how differently the same circs can be viewed.
