Please not another Ann Coulter. At least choose someone with a more rational mindset. I can identify with where you are coming from and where you are going. I also understand Jon’s points too. After 8 years of Obama and the rise of Trump I saw the racists and bigots come out of the closet. Is the media responsible to an extent? Yes. The public is being played by extremists on both sides. I’m a lifelong liberal so other than Keith Oberman the only ones I can name are Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones mostly. Oh and Ann Coulter. They gain fame and fortune by throwing out conspiracy theories and outrageous statements. Mindless sheep on both sides glom onto them and their word becomes gospel. Jon is right about the silence to an extent. We aren’t necessarily silent, we just can’t yell over the noise. Trump supporters aren’t all racists, but the focus goes to those who are. I’m a liberal but I don’t support Antifa and I’m still waiting on that paycheck from Soros. It took me a few days to understand what Black Lives Matter meant, and it took the mayor of New Orleans speech to understand the issue with the statues. It’s the ability to see from another perspective. Ignorance and fear is what keeps dividing us. Not all whites are racist. Not all blacks are thugs. And not all Muslims are terrorists. We need to set aside our ignorance and fear and really speak to each other. Many that join these various groups are just lost and looking for a place to belong
