The type of people who think his ideas are solutions are *probably* mostly already planning to vote for him. I'm a lot more concerned about the everyday fear and hate that comes out of these things. I've seen so much open harassment and assault towards women lately just walking around or riding the bus. I'm afraid for the women I see in hijab who have to be around all these people looking for someone to blame now. And I know that's not new, but these incidents can intensify it. I see a lot of blame on my Facebook feed. A lot of love and reaching across boundaries, too, but still a lot of blame. That tendency to divide people into groups and blame an "other" is way scarier and longer-lasting than Trump.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07382787889525110718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-5327078787954970552016-06-13T21:29:25.666-04:002016-06-13T21:29:25.666-04:00Yes, it is terrible what happened - and keeps happ...Yes, it is terrible what happened - and keeps happening in this world!
