(46,179 posts)the many who have been angry for a very, very long time, except that much of that anger is focused on establishment Democrats. I don't think they've been going around saying that they wanted to "punch out" people who have sparked that anger, though.
My own 78 yo life-long Democratic mother? She cried when we had lunch together a few days ago. She doesn't understand 1. Why people are so hateful, because she simply isn't, and 2. Why people who claim to care turn their backs on Sanders.
FYI: At one time, my mother was a rabid Clinton supporter. No longer.
To clarify: the specific hate she was referring to at the time belongs to Trump and his supporters.
She kind of reminded me of the 63 yo Sanders delegate I watched sob heart-brokenly during an interview yesterday after listening to Sanders encourage his delegates to support Clinton.
Neither of them were contemplating violence. They were simply grieving.
