Michigan Jewish cemetery desecrated with 'pro-Trump' messageshttps://www.cnn.com/2020/11/03/us/michigan-jewish-cemetery-desecration-trnd/index.html
(CNN)Numerous headstones at a Jewish cemetery in Grand Rapids, Michigan, were vandalized with "pro-Trump" messages, the Grand Rapids Police Department said Tuesday.
The desecration was found at the Ahavas Israel Cemetery just hours before President Donald Trump held a rally Monday night in Grand Rapids.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Michigan released photos on their Twitter account showing headstones spray-painted with "Trump" and "MAGA" spelled out in red paint.
Police Sgt. John Wittkowski said the cemetery is in an out-of-the-way place, so there are no leads or video. He said the incident, which is under investigation, probably happened in the last three to five days.

Their 401(k) / IRA only matters to them when they can give Trump credit for it.

"That's too bad, but it isn't more important than my 401(k) / IRA."
They are simply indifferent. And the worst of it is that they will continue to be desensitized to the suffering of others as more white supremacists ramp up the acts of violence.

The solid, steady growth of their investment accounts throughout the Obama years had no influence on their votes.
"Voting their wallet" is a fig leaf. It's a rationalization to conceal the fact that they are voting their bigotry.

A tenth, we have to work to change that.
How, I am working on right now, among many others more than myself.
