I always like to see the knee jerk reactions to current events, especially on Facebook. There was an attempted assassination of former President Trump over the weekend, and it didn\u2019t take more than an hour for the Trumpers to show up online to express their disdain. Now, before I attempt to put all this in context, let me just say, political violence has no place in our republic, I believe both sides of the political world need to take in down a few notches and deal with the issues that plague America and gun violence is certainly one of them but let\u2019s do it on the debate stage and not with a gun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that said, let\u2019s get to the responses I saw, most of them I should all came from the right leaning, conservative world. My first question to these folks is, \u201cWhat color is the sky in your world?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the first responses I saw was from I guy I use to work with who stated, \u201che will unfriend anyone who doesn\u2019t think what happened is awful\u201d. The folks who rally against being woke and cancel culture will cancel your friendship because of your opinion. Another guy I know blamed the \u201cleft leaning\u201d media for the coverage of it, this is hysterical, I\u2019m guessing he\u2019s never watched OAN, Newsmax or Fox news to watch the Donald Trump lovefest they conduct daily. The last guy who\u2019s running for political office in upstate Pennsylvania stated the Donald Trump is comparable to George Washington and that every Democrat should be voted out of office, yeah because there\u2019re the ones who are trying to overthrow elections based on a lie and trying to put religion into our everyday life because religion hasn\u2019t caused enough problems in society. These folks make my head hurt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me remind some of you folks on the right your actions and responses to violence and their lack of empathy for anyone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember, they mocked and made fun of Paul Pelosi being attacked in his home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember, the attempted kidnapping and murder of Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember, telling the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember, that there were “very fine people” in Charlottesville were a women was killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember, that one in six election officials have received death threats on themselves and their families for doing their job, all caused by a lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember, MTG calling for former President Obama\u2019s execution and Paul Gosar posting a comic strip killing AOC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember, January 6th<\/sup>, when our capitol, lawmakers and capital police were attacked by Trump supporters, all based on a lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember, all the women who have faced violence with Trump\u2019s own hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Senator JD Vance took about 5 seconds to claim it was Joe Biden\u2019s rhetoric that caused this violent attempt on Trump\u2019s life. Representative Mike Collins claimed President Biden ordered the hit. It\u2019s hard to figure out which version of Joe Biden exist; in the Republican world he goes from being a guy in cognitive decline to a criminal mastermind in the blink of an eye!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republicans love to quote the Bible, so here is a great quote to fit our current situation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You reap what you sow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I reminded of another quote that I believe sums up Republicans, \u201cI love people who sow their oats all week and then go to church on Sunday and pray for crop failure\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
