97. "the answer to WHY is pretty obvious...

...the ugliness of violence, racism, sexism and homophobia that's infecting the nation right now...we only need to look at ourselves to see why he did what he did"

"conservative survivalist" was key to my opinions... "good Christian mother/family" I read Authoritarian into this... Kids subjected to... authoritarian tactics... tend to develop more externalizing behavior problems...
Kids from authoritarian families are less resourceful, less socially-adept...they are at higher risk for involvement in bullying -- both as perpetrators and as victims.

collectively, we are letting this happen and I feel so lacking in any way to help... I am so angry, saddened and disgusted by what we have become... I want so desperately to be rid of DT and those that encourage and motivate the hate and violence...

my heart aches for the goodness and security I felt from the Obamas and those in positions of power that were trying desperately to make us a better, healthier, more humane Country
