InfoMarianne Deborah Williamson

I was born in Houston, Texas in 1952. My mother was a traditional housewife and my father was an immigration lawyer. My parents were world travelers, taking my brother Peter, my late sister Jane and me traveling with them around the world when we were children. The fact that I traveled internationally at such a young age made me a different person than I would otherwise have become. I learned very early, with the clarity of a child, that everyone deep down is the same.
While I didn't realize it growing up, as an adult I have come to recognize the impeccable ethics and values that were demonstrated to me as a child.
Growing up in Texas in a liberal household, I was made deeply aware of issues of social justice. My father had grown up in poverty; he was insistent that we be aware of how fortunate we were, and always attendant to the needs of those who were not. All four of my grandparents were immigrants from Eastern Europe, and had found in this country the freedom they longed for while living in oppressive circumstances. From the time I was a child I was taught the importance of America's promise, and the moral responsibility that each of us has to keep it alive and bequeath it to others. Where I saw something wrong, I was taught it’s my responsibility to make it right.

I went to public schools in Houston, and as the Sixties Revolution burst onto the scene I was eager to be part of it. From the cultural and spiritual revolution of that time, to the anti-war protests and political activism that marked the era, I was every bit a child of my generation. I spent two years at Pomona College in Claremont, California, and from there went on to experience pretty much every outwardly insignificant thing and every inwardly profound thing that’s possible.

The most consistent thing about my early Twenties was a search for spiritual understanding. I had a voracious appetite for topics of comparative religion and philosophy, and in my mid-20's I began reading a set of books called A Course in Miracles. The Course is not a religion, but rather a self-study program of spiritual psychotherapy based on universal spiritual themes. There is no dogma or doctrine; it is simply a book on how to forgive. I had no idea at the time that my study of The Course, plus writing and speaking about it, would turn into a 35-year career.

The whole eating cats and dogs thing has been especially insane to me considering the fact that my dad was born in Springfield, Ohio. It's so crazy just hearing the town's name in the news. My dad can't believe it lol

The fact that so many people are buying into something so absolutely insane when there's zero evidence of it happening makes me feel there's no hope for the future.

Literally Every Minority Group EVER has been the victim of baseless stereotypes and race based hate campaigns.

This isn't new in the slightest.

In the spirit of death panels, pizza gate and litter boxes in schools, some people are beyond help. But those were never persuadable voters to begin with.

The Democrats probably do need to move to the right on immigration in order to address where the median voter's concerns actually lie though. Trump won in 2016 because of immigration and if he wins again it will likely be for the same reason. It took a global pandemic to knock him off in 2020, where one of the fallouts from said pandemic was a reduction in border crossings to the point where it was less of an issue on voters' minds.

And to Harris's credit, she did a good job of pointing out that it was largely the Republican party's subservience to Donald Trump's campaign tactics that killed the Lankford bill (Lankford of course did his own duty to vote against his own bill). But that only works up to a point since the Democratic party as a whole may lack credibility on the issue. Still, this strategy has a precedent. Denmark in 2015 saw a huge rise in the far-right largely because of immigration concerns. But once the center and center-left parties started adopting more restrictive immigration policies, the far right eventually dwindled to only a handful of seats today. People may not necessarily like far-right parties but if they're the only ones acknowledging an issue that frustrates voters then they will overperform as a result.

The issue is Americans are too blind to the propagandizing of immigration to see the bigger issue. Which is partially due to lingering Xenophobia and Racism transmitted by their parents either knowingly or not. Libs can do as much as they want; but unless it is a ban on Non-white Immigrants and mass deportations of all non-whites, this will just be a perpetual issue that will inevitably lead to a Far-Right W.

The failure of Liberalism is its inability to see beyond a very small issue. In the case of Immigration they will not address the actual issues that are the root cause of immigration and would much rather veer right on the issue with the idea that THAT is the "Solution". Which conservatives will just do the same. Conservatives have similar problems with Immigration where they will literally CAUSE the mass migration through its imperialism and destabilization of Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East; then will be confused why everyone's heading to the ONE PLACE AMERICA CAN'T BOMB. Liberals could make a very easy rebut to explain this fact to Americans, but for a multitude of reasons they are not going to. Like rn Haiti is in the news, literally all their modern issues can be blamed on the US, but nobody's going to acknowledge or fix that fact because thats not politically expedient.

Now I don't expect Liberals to do this, I have ABSOLUTELY NO FAITH IN THEM ON THIS FACT, so I'm not mad that Kamala hasn't done so because I don't expect her too. Why would I, she's just a Liberal.
