(13,776 posts)I needed these today more than ever before. I'm so, so lucky to be able to stay home, and to not have to worry about family members because they're all able to stay home as well. But as this pandemic goes on, I keep watching TV and reading news stories (I know I should stop--it solves nothing and makes me feel like crap) about how awful so many people are being, how deliberately stupid so many people pride themselves on being, how truculent and argumentative so many people are being for no reason... I thought living in the same country as Trump voters was bad, but I had no idea how much worse it could get when I see them putting others' lives at risk because they are too blind to see they're being lied to. People being pushed around or even shot over face masks, my God. Nobody's being asked to go to war to "defend the American way of life." Just to wear a damn face mask. It's breaking my heart. I remember when we would all go to Fourth of July parades and just feel good to be there.
Anyway. Thank you for these pictures. It's so important to remember that there really are more good people than bad. The bad ones just get all the attention.
