I am no Neville Chamberlain, I fought for the little people of my town. I served on every committee that took the most work. Served on the zoning committee and went to a seminar at Penn State to get me up to snuff, even had a nice disagreement at a council meeting with our solicitor. I wrote a flood plain ordinance for our town because people wanted to put a coal cleaning plant in our flood zone.
Back in the 70's we had a Democratic Rep and Republican Rep ride in the back seat of the same car for our 4th of July parade.
Look at what has happened, Republicans became GQP Magats.

Yup. I've known people for years and never knew what they really believed until Trump came along.

Hatred is an easy sell. Love, goodwill, mutual understanding .... not so much.
