(32,120 posts)It has ALWAYS been this way. There has always been hate, violence, fear, intimidation... Just ask the victims of Jim Crow, women, the McCarthy and other "red scare" witch hunts, LGBTQ, Native Americas, immigrants, Jews, Catholics, Muslims, and any other non-Protestant Christians, union workers... How many Democrats received mail laced with Anthrax during the early 2000's? They're still setting black churches on fire and bombing the few abortion clinics that are left. The same people who posted "No Irish allowed" at the doors of their businesses, and gave Native Americans small pox-laced blankets, are the same ones perpetrating all of the hate and violence today. The only difference now is that they have the Internet and a compliant media helping them out.
