Here's one. Safely dead, though. I'll tell you, though, my post was meant to remind you that good, moral people fight evil. If they ignore evil to attack good people, they've gone wrong.
That's very simple. Being left doesn't somehow make it better than the same thing being done by passionately sincere trumpsters.
When hopes and dreams are loose in the streets, it is well for the timid to lock doors, shutter windows and lie low until the wrath has passed. For there is often a monstrous incongruity between the hopes, however noble and tender, and the action which follows them. It is as if ivied maidens and garlanded youths were to herald the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
