I have had the displeasure, as of most of us to witness the true vitriol of the right wing. Traitorous actions against this country cannot be tolerated, and the schemers must be addressed, tried and punished. That withstanding, I do hear a number of individuals, groups, and even democrats say not to blame the trump supporters, but welcome them and try to unite the country. My problem with this and other statements from people like Bill Maher, and others is this ..the trump/ right wing followers are all not stupid, ignorant people. Many know what they are saying and doing. My main complaint is the right wing usage of the 2nd amendment of our constitution. Yes, at one time, there was not a standing military in this country, and yes, our forefathers did fear and wanted to protect against government overreach. As I sit and think, isnt this exactly what the right wing are doing now? Are they not committing government overreach by limiting voting rights, abortion availability, pushing to replace democratically elected officials with their own placed people?. If any right wing follower happen to see this post, and live in the poverty induced states of the republican south, want to march and scream 2nd amendment, then I suggest you dont look any further then the party you support. That is the government overreach. You are never going to prosper under these circumstances. Why do you think the blue states do so well, and many of the red states are below averages in education, salaries, prospects think about who you are constantly electing.
