Upsetting

I have learned to mostly ignore the angry tweets, the lies and the stupidity, but I got a little upset on Saturday night after watching a clip of Trump in Green Bay.

He was speaking about the liberals and his version of abortion.

The lie is vile.

He said that mothers deliver their child, the hospital swaddles the child for comfort, and that the doctor and mother then decide to execute the baby.

Terrifying.

That is NOT happening.

Anywhere!

There is no doctor in this country who would murder a baby, or perform any such abortion late in term without a viable medical reason centered on saving a life.

And what is so upsetting about this was the crowd behind him as he spoke.

The easily lied to, certainly manipulated, simplistic crowd of angry, ignorant rage who cheered the lie and who vow to make sure that the practice that isn’t happening, anywhere in this country, is stopped.

We’ve currently had a run of mass shootings in places of worship. The demented men who are killing fellow Americans are doing so because they’ve been worked up into a lather by rage and misinformation.

I imagine that there was someone out there last night who was filled with rage after hearing Trump tell that blatant, disgusting lie.

And who wouldn’t be upset by the murder of a child!

Of course it is never to be accepted!

In a sick mind that rage could fester and show itself in a number of violent ways:

Attacks against doctors?

Or abortion clinics?

Or pregnant, scared mothers.

Leaders lead.

Even bad leaders lead.

Bad information from a bad leader can cause damage...

...will cause horrible damage.

To hear something as ludicrous, ridiculous and irresponsible as that and simply accept it as truth is more than a little upsetting.

It’s ‘get him out of here’ worthy.

Horrible.

He’s going to have to dig under the ground to get any lower and it’s unacceptable in what I believed was a civilized nation.
