open letter to the guy who gave me the hard finger at the no kings rally:

what has our country come to that you feel such hatred for someone or some people who are protesting what is happening? why are we so divided? it now seems almost inevitable that we are headed for civil war.

we obviously live in two different worlds. we watch or read entirely different news. yours seems to believe that portland is a war zone, chicago is a war zone, los angeles is a war zone, and yes a lot of these cities have a huge number of people who are not white. is that what it really comes down to, that you'd be much more comfortable if it was all white?

i'm out there because he's corrupt, because he's been cheating all his life and he's going to take our government machinery and start cheating with it. are you in favor of that? or is it just that the news you watch is in favor of it, because somehow they benefit, and you just get riled up in the process? it seems to me, as one of my friends pointed out, that you are prepared to give up your health insurance in order to be sure that no immigrant gets health. insurance either. if that's true, it'll be an unhealthy world.

but that was already painfully obvious.
