A Trump supporter went after me unexpectedly [View all]
I was canvassing in Orlando, Fl. I have walked many precincts in many, many elections. Often, a neighbor will come up to me and ask why I am there. Several times, someone tells me they support the Republican and we go and we leave on decent terms.
NOT THIS TIME!!! Someone came up to me and when I said I was supporting Hillary, she went off on me. Absolute rage and hatred on her face! I have never had a stranger, possibly anyone, show such hatred and rage towards me. I am embarrassed to say that I responded and yelled back until I remembered that the best strategy is to walk away. Although, I did shout down the stairs when I heard her swearing at me.
This election is unlike anything I have ever seen in this country. Trump and the other Republicans have spent decades stirring up this rage. I'm scared for our country.
I continued GOTV because we need to win this!! I refuse to let hatred win.
I then went to see Obama the next day. That was a love fest with smiling, friendly, dancing supporters. Love trumps Hate.
