Reply #2: Right there with you. I hesitate to think about what they want to do next.

Being involved in Democratic politics in a strong red area of the nation concerns me now. I fear not for myself, because I'm standing for what I believe in, but I fear for my family and my friends. We had a meeting the other night after the Tiller assassination and being in the backyard of the Knoxville Church Shootings (the guy was targeting liberals), and many of us expressed the same concern that we could be targeted by the right-wing crazies here just for Democrats. Some of the people in the party here aren't even liberal - more yellow-dog than anything else.

So I'm testing for my concealed carry soon. I hate that I have to feel this way but I won't allow my friends and co-workers to be targeted because of their involvement in government - something EVERY American should cherish and treasure.
