What is up with all the posts this morning on social media claiming that Liberals

are reveling over the Gatlinburg fires? One guy posted a twitter comment from some idiot who wished the worst for the city and state, based on their Trump vote, and now the meme is going across that all Liberals are mean, rotten people that wish them harm.

This is the kind of publicity target that makes it hard to show the difference between us and them.
