when I found it frustrating. In my opinion, the tide of emotions began to rise during the Obama era. It has led, on the national stage, to a sociopathic felon being elected twice now.
It rarely ever leads to a positive outcome. Maybe after there is a hurricane or something similar, and good people join in to assist those in need. But more often, we witness the negative potential. On a small scale, I remember my daughters' school having to call the State Police to remove a mother who disagreed with a ref's call in a girls JV basketball game. (I was on the school board at the time. Girls JV basketball had passed football for the school sport with the most injuries. I remember thinking, "This is not good."
I've noted before the harsh divide between opposing sides of citizens on the Karen Reid case. This includes some pushing, but is not limited to that -- foolish as it is. A few months back, it was reported that people in a car threw acid on a crowd of her supporters. Again, I found myself thinking this was not a good sign.
There are, of course, numerous other "not good" cases in our country. In my opinion, they go hand-in-hand with the threats to our democracy by a group that appears less and less capable of rational thought.
