Government Representative (Fill in the blank) Says/Does (Fill in the blank) and the Nation Recoils
In a stunning, shocking, and outrageous display, Generic Government Representative’s recent remarks and/or actions have sparked a national outcry. We went to the streets to ask average Americans their thoughts:
REO Reporter: “Did you hear about the recent controversial remarks by your Government Representative?”
Average American: “No, what did they say?”
REO Reporter: “It was awful. They said horribly degrading things about immigrants and/or law enforcement officials.”
Average American: “Wow! That is awful. There is no place for that type of hate-filled rhetoric in our country. Remind me, is this government representative in my political party or are they on the other side?”
REO Reporter: “They are on the other side.”
Average American: “That’s what I thought. They are just a bunch of racist, fascists, bigots over there. Just the…”
REO Reporter: “My bad! I got that wrong. They are on your side. Very much on your side.”
Average American: “Yeah, yeah… What I was trying to say is that if you look at the context of what they were saying, it makes sense. They weren’t speaking specifically about any group. We just need to do a better job of really listening to each other and not attacking. We need to dialogue, you know? Really look at all the facts…”
REO Reporter: “Woops! Boy, is my face red now! I got that wrong again. They are totally NOT on your side. Yep, very much on the other side politically.”
Average American: “I knew it! They are evil, evil people. Just the worst people that have ever lived! They don’t deserve to live in this country. They just want to destroy everything this country stands for. They are worse than if Hitler and Satan had a baby! I HATE THEM AND ALL THEY STAND FOR!!!”
REO Reporter: “Thanks for your time.”

Humorous, but reveals so clearly how we talk “at” and “about” folks, but don’t talk “to” and “with.” It’s also revealing how quick we,are to condemn. On the other hand, strong disagreement is not intolerance. Good thoughts and well-written!
