[@ladyjane9077]

Thank you. I'm not a musician myself but I come from a family where music was almost always present. The words in those songs or even just the melodies had a point, a message, and were a powerful way to bring people together. So I think that should still be the case. I'm an artistic type of person and though no ones told me to shut up about my political opinions yet online, but they have in person and quite loudly. I've had men more than twice my size shout at me and tell me how stupid I am. I've had women do the same. And the special part is when a group of people decide to bind together and yell at me as if that is somehow going to magically make me think that somehow they're right and good people. Nope they're the same jerks they were five minutes ago. I've been told I don't matter and my opinions don't matter in a thousand different ways so far in my lifetime. So while I'm not a musician, I feel this message. And there is a time when fed up does happen.

[@hawyee2769]

I'm telling you. People are just too in their heads. Don't really think about others or the outside world. They don't think about taking a step back. And mind you their stubborn and closed- minded.

[@rabbitholeinc.3689]

Honestly who you vote for should be kept to yourself, to keep from political retaliation. That's why to all friends and family and really just anyone do not ask cause I ain't telling. That goes both ways as well I don't care nor do I wanna know who you voted for, you have the right to vote, whoever was on the ballot was allowed on the ballot for one reason or another, you exercised your right and whatever the outcome as long as it was fair and just it is what it is. I'm not gonna condemn you, I'm not gonna turn my back on you, if you need my help my hand is still out for you to grab. End of the day these are politicians not idols. These are humans not gods. Do not turn a blind eye to tyranny, if you voted for Trump be vigilant. He is only in office because you put him in there, and if he abuses that then he can most certainly be removed and the position given to one more worthy. If you didn't vote for Trump, I'm sorry that you are living in fear. A lot of people may not realize it but when they do it is eye opener. Take some peace knowing that Trump is just one man, and there are so many laws and amendments in place that it would take him ten years just to make a crack in it to break our democracy. To the people who didn't vote for Trump, don't harden yourselves. Reach out to these family members and if things start to go south, show them the damage Trump is causing how it's affecting you. I'd say at 88% of them would change their opinion, because you mean more to them than Trump. The connection between your suffrage and Trump just hasn't registered yet. That can be due to ignorance, misinformation, being deceived by a man who has made a success of being a crooked business, even to the point he uses that as a term of endearment as a necessity for his political position that being the big shrewd businessman is a bonus trait beyond the average politician. Just don't lose your compassion and don't forsake them, always allow redemption, forgiveness, and healing.

You miss the point.

Fields arguably more necessary for the functioning of the entire social and physical infrastructure?) The difference is that your particular field has a constant big ol' public spotlight on it. You become accustomed to that spotlight and fall under the erroneous impression that your political thoughts and opinions therefore ought to have more sway than all the extremely competent, talented, dedicated, etc. people's in all those other important - but not in a spotlight - fields. You've been given the privilege of the spotlight strictly for your art, so yes, stick to that please.
