Peer Pressure - A Reason!

We teach and hope our children learn how not to succumb to peer pressure; however, as adults, many depend on peer pressure wrapped in a veil of “caring” or “doing right.” It is the same trait we teach and hope our children can withstand, verbal, and mental abuse to get one to participate or agree with something they feel or know is wrong.

• Don’t agree with someone of a different ethnicity; you are a - RACIST (your view now null and void)

• Don’t agree with someone of a different sex; you are a - SEXIST (your view now null and void)

• Don’t agree with an action or groupthink; you are - SELFISH (your view now null and void)

• Don’t agree with partial facts or half the truths to make a point; you are - STUPID or IGNORANT (your view now null and void)

If you care, you can avoid these tags one of two ways, blindly and/or mindlessly agree and follow, or ignore/avoid the situation(s) or topic(s) entirely.

Should those who employ this tactic realize people they believed they had hushed up, may not have been ignoring the issues but waiting,, they might recognize an answer to a question been asked for years, how Trump won!
