(7,006 posts)For coming out and saying without any hesitation this person volunteered for your campaign, unfortunately.
In retrospect, so did we, and we are beyond sick to death of the level of violence allowed in this country by the abundance of guns, propped up by the horrible NRA.
Furthermore, maybe, just maybe a moment of reflection should take place now to see the unstable level of political discourse in our country at this moment in time. It is almost like certain individuals (and they know who they are) cannot manage to turn on the filter and realize regardless of political party, people are human and humans can agree to disagree, respectfully.
Sadly, this level of virtual and many times complete disrespect for a fellow human being starts directly at the TOP with Donald J. Trump. The Saying is that "S**t Goes Down Hill" and when the individual who is "leading" (and the air quotes are on purpose) the highest elected office in the United States, communicates on a daily basis like a three-year-old whose parents have not taught to child how to be respectful towards anyone that disagrees with them -- sadly, incidents like today is the end result.
The state of unrest in our Country will not end until those who claim they are "Leaders" take a stand. Unfortunately, Trump has not given many any reason to believe he can do so, or frankly way too many others in the Republican Party at this point.
