There's so many, many things that went wrong that got us where we are today with elections/leadership. I'm so sorry to hear that somehow there are leftists who are taking out their anger on you, mimicking Trump behaviors that supposedly are what's being protested. Where are they learning such intolerance. It is unbelievable to me how some people are doing this.
I just refuse to become a cynic and stop fighting for change. I grew up with Bernie Sanders basically in my backyard, he was Mayor of Burlington when I was in high school in South Burlington. Since I was a teenager, I've heard the words "liveable wages" and "affordable housing" and taking action when you want something to change. That no matter who you are, you have the right to stand up for yourself, and that there's people out there that are more vulnerable than oneself that need help and advocacy, and there's never a time to sit quietly on the sidelines. So I'm holding onto the hope and will deepen a commitment to change.
