haters gonna hate
Nov. 9th, 2016 07:30 pmI posted yesterday, about how rough the election has been, and how it's not going to get better.
Just to be clear, that was before the winner became clear. I was thinking about the climate of violence, and how nothing would change no matter who was elected. I was referring to the divisive direction the country has gone. The hatred. The culture of hatred of anything different. Differences are seized upon and demonized as the cause of our problems. And that open hatred is wrapped by the flag, so any dissent is seen as anti-American. And there's no defense against that.
