7. Me, too. But I'm more sickened by the young people's reaction.

I've been so proud and excited at how our young folk have taken to the street with smart, strategic, passionate action all across the country. The last few weeks, as frustrating and painful ad they've been, have given me hope about our future and whose hands it is in.

And then these idiots show up.

I just have to keep reminding myself that they're in the distinct minority and that the true face and spirit of our younguns are on the front lines of the fight, not crammed into a church bellowing and chanting with Donald Trump
