Think of how the archival footage of Trump rallies will look to future historians

We have to do everything possible to let them know there were many of us that didn't go along with that shit.

When he speaks extemporaneously it is generally gibberish, but when you see the words written down it is an order of magnitude more unintelligible.

12. I'm hoping most of them will be dead,

killed by a family member or justifiably by police or FBI. Or maybe in a homeless shelter because their platform disintegrated.

The potential alternatives, my nightmare, is that they've given away the US to Putin since they love him so much.

9. I was thinking of that earlier, but in the context of America's past.

I often wondered, how did the people that were photographed feel - years later - when they were captured in black/white or color photos, participating in a lynching, or in the beating of Blacks/Native Americans (name the group) trying to exercise their rights as Americans.

How did it feel to have your picture out there - as one of the faces of evil.

How do you explain that...

Just curious.

11. I'm hoping that some of his followers will start feeling some shame after this bomber

I'm not holding my breath though.

I know one thing I'm going to do, and that's call my brother and sister-in-law and give them hell for attending a Trump rally last month. I'm gonna ask them if they joined any chants. Then I'm gonna ask them how Jesus might look at them for attending such an event that spews hate ( they are very "religious people"

. I may even be a bit of an asshole toward them on it. I haven't decided.
