"How the hell is this not inciting violence?"



"How the hell is this not inciting violence?" A North Carolina gun store has erected a billboard with the Squad's faces, calling them "idiots." https://wapo.st/2SYw9Jt

Sick fucks. I know it's unhealthy and bad karma and all that, but I really do hate these people.

If we can't exhibit hatred for what trump has done to this nation, we might as well let him have a second term. I don't believe there is nearly enough evidence of hatred and anger by Democrats, these days.

11-12 years ago as President Obama was running for election, was elected and during his 8 years as our President. Rural NC is heavily Republican, low educated and racist voters.

And it has been growing in intensity ever since. The difference is that this administration is not only fine with the racism but actually promotes it.

I guess on the one hand it's sort of a good thing that it is out in the open now. It means everyone is aware of its existence. On the other hand, we really need a plan to combat it immediately.

I just sent this off to my Husband's Cousin's daughter in North Carolina on her Facebook timeline. She is part of the NC Indivisible group outside of Charlotte. They are already planning rallies leading up to the RNC next year.

One comment:

The owner, Doc Wacholz, is raising a little girl of color.
I can't stress how disturbing it is this child of color is in the custody and care of such a blatent racist. Her mental, emotional and physical well being is a priority for everyone that cares about any child!
Please everyone contact CPS to do a welfare check on this little girl of color!
