We don't agree, and I hate to argue, but if we don't talk, how will we learn and advance understanding? The community is great. Thank you for running it.

As for quote, this is it, exactly:
" She's a radical war hawk. Let's put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. OK? Let's see how she feels about it, you know when the guns are trained on her face."

In the past I have used the expression chicken hawk...not very polite. I have used it (Iraq War) in reference to the Cheneys. But, using that imagery, of shooting rifles in her face--that is violent and provocative. We have had Jan. 6. Two assassination attempts of Trump. A hammer attack on Pelosi's husband. Violence is in the air and Trump knows it. When he uses language like that, it is shouting fire in a crowded theater. Trump knows exactly what he is doing. It's not an accident that he uses violent rhetoric. It also is not a democratic impulse. It is the impulse of an autocrat.

That's what I believe. Besides the policies he advocates, with which I don't agree, he behaves like a bully. That's bad enough on the street, with every day people. But someone who may wield the power he may have in just a week... that's a terrifying prospect.

I know you disagree, but I find it hard to believe that you don't see his bullying, his intimidating behavior, his threats. And I can't believe that behavior is OK.

This is why I fear for the future. I know you don't. But there you go. We live in a country where, so far we can disagree and walk away still with respect for each other.

Thank you, again, for providing a forum for discussion. It is important.
