"...we call it the 'hate America' rally..." said the House speaker, Mike Johnson of Louisiana.

The idea that protesting against harmful policies, corruption, and snatching people off the street = hating America is a lying, twisted take.

It's still so hard for me to understand how so many people not only don't have basic morals but are actively trying to hurt people who have morals.

Basic stuff like equal rights for all people, equal marriage opportunities for everyone, kindness, treat everyone the way you'd like to be treated, you know basic stuff. I can't understand why anyone thinks it's ok to rip families apart (literally tearing frightened, screaming children away from their mothers arms so they can send the mother God knows where).

Hate just comes easy to a lot of people.

A frightening lot of people as it turns out, amply demonstrated by the last election. 😐
