Feeling direct today — Two things I don’t understand:
1) How anyone can even consider supporting someone as horrific as Donald Trump:
He takes a horrible event, shows no sympathy for the victims and politicizes in a way that is both inaccurate, is destined to create more similar events and is so clearly from Hitler’s “let’s find some group that most of us aren’t and blame them” playbook it is terrifying. I lost most of my ancestors less than a century ago in Germany and yet here we are with a group of people parroting the same lines–just a different religion. To compare Trump and HRC as two evils means you either a) don’t understand Trump, or, b) don’t understand evil.
2) How anyone can in good conscience can continue to support private ownership of weapons designed to slaughter mass numbers of people. I am so tired of deaths of innocent people that are avoidable — children, church-goers, LGBT — people still echo the utter bullshit the gun industry tells them and let more people die. There is no fathomable reason why we need weapons designed to murder people when every shred of evidence makes it clear it costs thousands of lives every year. Would stricter gun control have prevented this specific incident? Maybe. It would have made a walking time bomb subject to arrest. I am so heartened to see that the voices for reasonable gun laws are not getting shut up anymore, but so completely mystified why people advocate for a society armed to the teeth.
Stern Thoughts 
Well said.
