    Is that what you get when you read comments like this about this discussion?

    “It’s not a matter of me thinking these people are less than me or others like me. They are lesser. It’s not a matter of opinion. They aren’t human, but they’re the same group.”

    Because I am seeing it as classifying millions of innocent people who didn’t vote for Trump, or weren’t even old enough to vote yet, and saying they should catch stray bullets because people they could not control chose something dangerously incompetent.

      That person is insane. These are working class people being harmed. They aren’t irredeemable. They’re just stupid and mislead. This is hopefully a wakeup call for them.

        Yeah, in anger it is easy to jump to dehumanizing others, but that’s why I think it is good to have others around that can tell them to take a breath and re-consider the consequences when we have a fresh mind.

        I’m terrible at it, but thankfully I’ve got others around in life and on here to tell me pull my head out of my ass when I get to over the top
