Righteous indignation is not hate. It is the power and strength of justice rising up in a person and demanding that justice and fairness be done. That's what I feel.
Hating the haters just makes you a hater. I was always impressed by FDR’s name for the Nazis: “those unworthy men.” We can do what we do out of love for our country, not personal hate for anyone. It makes a difference in the tenor of a movement & how it comes across to the world.

In addition to his non-hatred FDR did nothing to help Jewish refugees that that the US could have saved from concentration camps.

It was a mixed bag, I agree with you. But he didn’t do “nothing.” Given the fact that he led US involvement World War II, I don’t think we can say he didn’t help the Jews.

I am not hating. I am ANGRY. Not all anger is bad. Our planet, not just our country, are at a crossroads. I don't think those "unworthy" want to hold hands with us and move in the direction of love. We do what we need to do this time.

I agree with that. Moral outrage isn’t born of anger, it’s born of love. Love doesn’t make us less sophisticated in our political understanding. It doesn’t mean we’re less intelligent. At times though it means we’re more strategic.

Respectfully, it's very difficult to be so magnanimous when you have no money and no power and you're the victim of systemic violence.

That’s why it’s so important for those who do have money and do have power to step it up, and do more for those who don’t.

The strong voice of a gentle woman is what is missing in our society. I will vote Trump for his policies of peace and prosperity and you make me wish we had a department of spirit!

Policies of peace? Sorry, I missed those. Could you please explain?
