I find that incredibly unsettling.

Yes, it's scary. The leader of the US senate started an ad today showing his opponents tombstone. We are told legislation is coming relative to the fear, but will be tied to other political items.
Has anyone recently tried to pull this country together. Has anyone broached the subject that we are ALL Americans and scared. We have heard this same stuff about "we are going to..." and thus far, nothing happened so why believe it now.
There was an executive order that tried to deny guns from certain folks with mental problems , up it was overturned by another exec order.
It's a scary thing, and those who simply make it political are cruel human beings....we are one country.
Sorry for seemingly becoming political, but I am hurting right now, and cannot understand those who do not see the hate around now, and seemingly nobody to console the country or bring us together. These are horrible things that did not need to happen, should not have happened, and I think would have been prevented if this country would stop the accusations, the lies the crass language. First reaction publicly was to blame the media....that is tough to swallow fir me, and you can delete my post, complain to the mods all you want. I fought for, worked for and love this country. I am proud also, but the world is wondering what we are doing.
