"SNIP............

The Kübler-Ross model, or the five stages of grief, postulates a series of emotions experienced by survivors of an intimate's death, wherein the five stages are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

Hillary has encouraged the moms of killed african american youth to get together and try and change the world. They certainly were doing it on their own too. This implies acceptance and allows people to learn how to live with horrible loss, that there is good and bad in the world, that they can make a difference. There is actually growth after unspeakable tragedy. The GOP on the other hand keep Benghazi families in anger. Now the Kubler-Ross model does not imply a universal order you have to go through in the five stages. But you do have to go through them. Scapegoating Hillary for Benghazi and enabling anger is not going to help those families move on. You could see how raw that woman was who spoke at the GOP convention.

Likewise Michelle Obama mentioned that slaves built the WH. And look how far the US has come. The GOP (Bill O'Reilly) immediately climbed over himself to get out the "slaves were treated well meme". Seems like the GOP want to keep their base in the denial stage instead of acceptance that the old south was a nightmare that damaged both black and whites (though in very different ways) and get over it. It was evil. Grieve the loss of innocence white southerners of the GOP persuasion and reconnect to the world in a way where there is good and bad in all our ancestors and in ourselves, and own it. Suffer the loss of a history that is unspeakably evil. You will then finally feel free. And grow. And likely not vote GOP so much.
