Evergreen posted in the group VCU- Politics
Hey, I’m looking forward to discussing many kinds of political issues. I myself am a conservative, but I’m excited to get to hear from the other side about things we may disagree on. I think the atmosphere for conservatives on VCU has gotten better, and it’s only up from here. This platform is going to help a lot, I believe.

As of right now, yes, but that’s not a very enthusiastic yes. I believe that Trump’s loss and the storming of the Capitol by (for lack of a classier term) idiots is helping the Republican Party cleanse itself in a way. It’s waking the party up to the fact that it can’t gatekeep one way of conservatism over others. This kind of “you’re not Republi…Read More

This pandemic has taught me so much about myself and my endeavors. Life does not go the way you expect nor does it go to plan but how you respond to the situations that life puts you in determines who you are. I had a tough tough year thankfully nobody in my close family has died or had complications due to covid. I know a lot of people who have…Read More

Only a handful of people are creating problems and conflicts, and I…Read More

I agree that mental health needs to be taken more seriously by African communities, but I think that the problem is that we have gone through a lot and we have simply chosen to stay silent to avoid remembering some of the pain we have experienced in the past. Whether it is people in the diaspora or in the continent, I feel like a lot of us have…Read More

Yes! I totally agree 🙂 I feel like a lot of us have been through so much to the point that we have gotten used to certain things that are actually worsening our mental health. And since those things have become normal we remain silent when we should not. I can only hope that the generation after us is not as affected by this issue. Personally, I…Read More

Wow that is the best way to put it. “We have gotten used to it” so much so that we scorn those who have not. I’m happy that you’ve chosen to go to therapy, I myself will be going once I find the right therapist!

mental health has always been an issue for humanity but has been proven most prevalent within african communities. one of the bigger issues is how most of our parents and extended family were always taught to suck it up and not seek therapy cause it showed weakness or they couldn’t afford it. more conversations around topics of depression, a…Read More

I don’t identify with a political party because I don’t believe any party genuinely has the people interests first just their own. Specifically with the Republican Party as I feel like they don’t live up to their actual values. For example I don’t believe you can say that you believe in less government and then vote for laws the create voting…Read More
