How will we survive this? I'm not even talking about the trump trash but the everyday hate

never in my 50 plus years of life did I ever see people berate other for the color or their skin or what they do or do not believe in.

I was always taught to be nice to others.

But just do go up and start harassing others because of perceived bias that may or may not exist is new to me.

So in my mind, what will I do-film it, try to break it up, get in the middle of it, will calling 911 make things worth.

This is now trumpmerika and I don't know how to live it

You know, just being our normal selves. Standing with people who are being harassed, being allies.
Solidarity, humanity, decency. We do what we can. It is awfully hard to live in Trump America.

they were little cheap 1.00 for 5 pair -mostly for kids but we bought 100 pair and just handed them out .


Spouse wants to make PB & J to take over on a Sunday morning and just hand them out until they are gone. IT really makes a difference on how to see things from a distant perspective.

To see others go so out of their way to be mean and hateful makes my heart sad.
