Let's call Springfield what it is: Republican-made terrorism

The Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio, is in a helluva lot more danger right now thanks to the convicted felon, Donald J. Trump, than Trump ever was while working hard as always on the campaign trail at a golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday. Further, AMERICA is in a helluva lot more danger right now, thanks to the America-attacking Donald J. Trump, than it has been in recent memory, because this soulless bully has spent the past nine years sowing violence and spreading lies and distrust in a country he’d rather split in two than unify. As usual, the media is having a tough time framing this moment in American history, so I’m here to help drag them out of the mud, while I talk to brave readers who have spent their lives traveling the high ground to a better, safer, and more just America for ALL its citizens — readers who have been truly shocked and saddened by what has happened to our country in the nine, terrible years since Trump started polluting it in earnest. In 2016, Trump bellowed to a rabid crowd on his scorched earth campaign trail that if “She gets to pick her judges, there’s nothing you can do, folks.” When the crowd booed he added this: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.” I could spend an hour citing more examples of repulsive threats like these, but the point is this: Putting people’s lives in danger through violent rhetoric is a Republican-made atrocity. They see “fine people” in murdering racists, and violent attackers who mean to end our country as “victims” and “tourists.” While the story in West Palm Beach is still developing, we know for sure that there have been at least 33 confirmed bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio, that have led to the evacuations of schools and city buildings in yet another American city that didn’t deserve this.
