Hate. Outloud, in your face.... Hate. And so it begins.

One of the previous issues I remember from Trumps time was the vocal in your face hate and yes, violence because trump opened the flood gates for that. Over the last 4 yrs it is not as loud and constant during his time. I was reading FB and conversation about girls being taunted on the playground by boys "your body our choice". And so it begins. the approved and allowed, accept out loud hate and mean that Trumps brings to the table and feeds thru our society with him as the "leader". Another was a girl in front of class. White/Asian and boy yelled out I know who you would vote for because you do not want to be deported.

This is one of the many things Trump brings to us.

New generation of hate. And the kids are separating into trumpers and non trumpers, based on their parents. This according to my kid. And we are in a trumpy area. Kids and parents in those deplorable red hats.

loved them. But a very red area. Everyone knew they were progressive, well educated cause they could not parrot me, but had to read. Even though ALL the teachers were red, they were very respectful of my boys challenging. I told boys, always with respect, but from the heart and will be ok. And they were. But there was not that meanness then.

2 boys, early 20's now.
Good guys. Still have friends from pre-school.
Both graduated from college.
I'm so proud of them.
Oh, red area of Pennsylvania.
