WE'RE AMERICANS FIRST

before anything

By T. LichtPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

Elections makes me sad.

It makes me wonder when we forgot that before being a democrat or republican,

We're Americans First.

We share the same problems though we may differ in views of how to fix them.

We all want our children to be safe and educated , though we may have different ways on how to achieve that.

We all want financial stability though we may have different views on how to establish that.

At the core, we're all American.

We all wave the same red and blue flag.

We all share the same losses.

We are all American.

When did we forget that?

When did we forget that a splintered army will never win a war?

And most important , when did we forget that hate and violence will never bring peace?
