We just had Trump goon's attempt to kidnap or kill a sitting Democratic Governor. Full stop.

It is like we have been so de-sensitized that we are not even acting outraged. Look at the posts this evening. Attempt to kidnap or kill a sitting Democratic governor. How are we going to protest this act by Trump loyalists? Tonight tomorrow, there needs to be an outpouring of outrage against Trump Republicans. We need a symbol of our collective outrage. I am looking for a Gretchen face mask. What else???
