From my perspective as an American, I find it difficult to reconcile these two statements:
“I want everyone to treat them equally and not discriminate against them”
“I’m kind of in a gray area”
In practice, there is no middle ground in American politics. You vote Republican, or you vote Democrat. This is most true in presidential elections but still generally true in state and even local elections throughout the country. The parties are pretty well aligned top to bottom. Conservative or liberal.
Like you, I want everybody to be treated equally. For me, there’s no gray area about it. I hate how little choice I have in politics, but this is the reality I live in, and this is the reality I have to vote in.
If you have a clear alignment to one party or the other, I wouldn’t call that a “gray area”. And if you don’t? If you don’t have a clear alignment to one or the other? In America? In the 2020s? When one party is very clearly, and very persistently violating that core value of “treat them equally and not discriminate against them”? Like I said, it’s hard for me to reconcile.
That’s my perspective. Even assuming you are also American, I don’t think you’re a bad person. However, I do think it’s worth really reexamining what’s important to you. I hope that when it comes time to vote, you will not turn your back on that core value of equality. Let it be a high priority. Leave that gray area.
