Wow. Silence on this, thread friends? The Charlottesville situation is escalating and David Duke, the white supremacist, has been quoted as saying this type of violent bs is why he voted for Trump. And all of this has me reflecting on the constitution and our supposed inherent allegiance to it.

And again, these people are scheduled to be in MY city on August 27th.
 
I am totally disgusted and nearly speechless. I really think this is a result of idiot white men feeling threatened because of our democracy, how we have slowly moved toward equal rights. And they can't handle it. Well, f*ck them!!!

Eh, maybe I need to take this to the swearish rant thread.
 
@hodge thanks for chiming in. A "swearish rant thread"? Does this exist? Or perhaps it is better for me not to know.
 
My hubby sometimes references the 14% jerk rule -- that 14% of any population is a jerk. I'm beginning to think that number should be higher. Like the 32% Trump still has approving him.

When I was in high school in Michigan, we were required to take a government class in order to graduate. Our government teacher was a joke. He was high and/or drunk most of the time and conveyed very little useful information to us. That was also in Macomb County, one of the hotbeds of Trumpism now. So, you can kind of figure why people there are so uneducated. I had a real hard time growing up there. I literally dumbed myself down in order to fit in and not get bullied. When I finally got to college in Ann Arbor, I felt like a butterfly.
 
I felt that way too. ❤ I am glad you (and I) got out. NYC public education for me, and not one of the "good magnet schools". And yet, I went on to a masters degree and a teaching credential. Sigh.
