I told Trump he had harnessed the power of fear (bigotry, racism, hate) for political purposes, and we would defeat him by harnessing the power of love (decency, dignity, compassion). Our task is to answer collectivized hate w/ collectivized love. I also told him love would win.

You show “love” to all EXCEPT Trump. Your “love” seems disingenuous.

God’s love is impersonal. MLK Jr. said he was grateful God told him he had to love his enemies but “that he didn’t say I have to like them.” Loving Trump doesn’t mean I’m supposed to acquiesce to behavior that’s destructive to our democracy or to people. Sometimes Love says “No.”

Like “no” to illegal action? Like “no” to stealing from some to give to those who have not earned it? BTW, we do NOT have a democracy, we have a REPUBLIC BECAUSE OF those like you who, in the name of “love”, would unfairly take from those who work & give it to those who have not.

We have a representative democracy and we have a republic. Having one doesn’t mean we don’t have the other.
