More gun violence by disgruntled white guys

People have called me hateful for hating hate. This is entirely ridiculous. Tolerance of intolerance doesn't produce peace or tolerance. On the contrary. 

Being accepting of Trump's hate produces mass murder continually. He is emboldening the people who hate African Americans, Muslims, Jews Latinos, and women enough to shoot them to their bloody deaths.

We can slow the bleeding in 2018 and stop it and heal in 2020. Literally. Someone once said voting is the penny of democracy/activism. If we all vote, we can make life better. I firmly believe that we can do the most good for the most people.

There have been a few shootings over the past few days: three plus one at a yoga studio. All Trump-emboldened racists. All white guys likely angry about gains in equality made by marginalized people.

The quote about the optics and reference to the caravan is widely known. This is another:

Another post that most likely referred to HIAS read, “Open you Eyes! It’s the filthy evil jews Bringing the Filthy evilMuslims into the Country!!”

There was an element of anti-Muslim hate to go with his anti-Jew and anti-refugee (caravan) apparently.

And yes, they chose a Christian "rabbi" to speak to mourning Jewish families. Tacky doesn't begin to describe this. They also met with the Israeli ambassador, speaking of tacky...
