50. 867 hate incidents since the election? Damn.

One is too many. But 867? And 99 in my home state alone? That's way too much hate. The sad thing is we can call them out as much as we want, but it's not enough. They'll go back to their hate-filled message boards and chat rooms, and call in on hate-filled AM radio talk shows and complain how their views aren't represented. I don't think they get the hint that we don't want their views.
