We have a new fearsome endemic in the USA and it's fatal with no cure in sight!
It's the virus of hatred and it's spreading fast.

I'm seeing so much anger here. And people seem to be accepting "This is how it's alway's been" Good lord people, storming the Capital, attacking Asian Americans in way's that are horrific that it turns my stomach. Folks saying these are just random crimes and that the media is to blame when there is camera footage showing these terrorist attacks are happening from one coast to the other.
How dare people try to normalize this and try and whitewash it away. I'm truly disgusted by many of these posts. There is a BIG difference between hatred and an angry outrage.

@Grateful4you I can be outraged without being forced to be political, which I do not wish to be. I respect you very much and tried to post a nice reply about uniting and countering hate with light and love. I have been since attacked, called naive, and a troll. I’m not sure I should be here today as both sides of the political spectrum seem determined to be hateful and divisive. Sorry, if I ruined your post, not my intention. Light and love. Be well.

@JustGoneNow I agree with your stance on "Light and Love" Problem is you cannot remove the politics because most of this was fueled by a sitting president sad to say. Sorry for the bad experience it hasn't been a picnic for me either I don't mind being called an "Idiot" and more, it's the idea that people are either blaming the media or claiming "It's always been like this"
@Grateful4you I can be political on an issue while still saying I want no part of the left right dynamic. If we truly believe that there are no good people on the opposing side ( and I’m not talking about insurrectionists,) then we are truly lost as a people and world. To discount the thoughts and dreams of half the population, only further divides. Is it more important to feel right or to find common ground. People feel marginalized, and that’s what drives them to these clearly hate groups, I’m just tired. Tired of both sides wanting to force change and everybody else.

@JustGoneNow I don't force or change anyone. I can't. I just want my little peaceful protest next month to raise the consciousness of the majority of good people to be aware and spread the word we need to protect and show our support to groups being terrorized. If just ONE single person see's my sign and feels the urge to support these targeted folks the day will have been worthwhile.
@Grateful4you And that is why I respect you, so much. I was nearly kicked out of high school for a walk out that I staged over a social justice issue. Protesting is so very important to our democracy in general. Thank you for listening to me. I wish all of your responders were as kind as you. Be safe and be well. Light and love. 🖤
