If you are a member of the Republican Party or other right wing political parties and institutions, these people are your brothers and sisters in arms.
The Republican Party countenanced and encouraged outright lies designed to make people hate and fear Democratic Party candidates during the campaign.
This should not make you proud. It should make you reconsider why you are affiliated with these people in any manner.
The daily drumbeat of hate, lies, disinformation, and fear-mongering has not let up for one moment, even after the election.
It frightens sensible people that no one held these people accountable, especially our so-called "liberal media."
Politics is NOT like religion. Political views should be based on facts. Religious views are based on faith. Take a deep breath, and start sorting them out in your mind.
Then, take the Pledge.
I will be part of the healing of America. I take responsibility to call out hate and lies when I see them.
Hold the people in your life accountable when they sow hate and fear out of ignorance or maliciousness. It's up to you.
