So my post this morning was unquestionably angry, and now that I've had about a day to calm down, this is what I *really* want to say about Trump supporters- and particularly, Trump supporters I personally know....

Now, some people, some people I know and care about and believe care about me, they say they support Trump, but they're not LIKE those other people. They're not LIKE the laughing, sneering, heil-ing crowds that gather at Trump rallies.

Only the thing is, if you're pointing to somebody and saying, "He speaks for me," and that person is pointing to the guy with the Confederate Flag neck tattoo cackling, "Which is worse, Jews or fags?" and the guy to his left giggles back, "Jews ARE fags!" what you're saying is that THAT guy speaks for you, too....

You can't say your vote won't be responsible when those people "do something" about my children, and my husband, and me. Those people who are already "doing something" about women in hijabs walking their babies down the street, and 69 year old protesters, and Latino teenagers.
