'We need to stop being afraid'

It is early 2020. For 18 and a half years America has been afraid. Some of the things I see people saying in news articles are just stupid. They reccomend a 'new normal' where we are always afraid.

Welcome to the new normal. For 18 and a half years America has been always afraid.

This needs to stop. We need to get on with life. So September 11th happened. It's been 18 and a half years. We need to get over it. So there is a pandemic. It's happened before. This is nothing compared with the Spanish Flu of 1918. It will pass.

We need to stop being afraid. People rally behind people like Donald Trump because they want us to be afraid... of what? Obama? Obama was good to us! Guatemalans? I have friends just like those Guatemalan immigrants. Mexican immigrants. They are good people.

We used to make fun of fear. Remember the late 90's? We made fun of conspiracy theories back then. We made fun of fear.

Just because sometimes bad things happen doesn't mean we should give in to fear.

We need to start going back to making fun of fear. Right now.

We need to get back to normal life- a normal life that China and France, Japan and India have been enjoying the last 18 and a half years, but that America hasen't known since September 10, 2001.

We need to get back to not giving in to fear. this is my prayer to America. Please support me and spread the word! We do not have to be afraid! We do not have a responsability to give in to fear! Please support me in spreading the word! Thank you so much!
