Sure looks a lot like a 'blue wave' to me...it's probably karma but it's the same old story. I suppose many on the left think that will make America safer. Probably not...but not for the reasons Republicans may think. While all this talk about 'Islamic Terrorism' and 'immigrant violence' was getting pushed around, there were far more deaths attributed to right-wing, home-grown terrorism in the US. That's frightening, since we've already seen a lot of divisive, hateful rhetoric (and do all the time from many Republican supporters when they're unhappy) under Trump's administration. When the reality sets in for the Republican Party and their supporters, it's going to be a dangerous time to live in America. “Law enforcement agencies around the country have told us the threat from Muslim extremists is not as great as the threat from right-wing extremists,” said Dr. Kurzman, whose study is to be published by the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security and the Police Executive Research Forum. John G. Horgan, who studies terrorism at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, said the mismatch between public perceptions and actual cases had become steadily more obvious to scholars. “There’s an acceptance now of the idea that the threat from jihadi terrorism in the United States has been overblown,” Dr. Horgan said. “And there’s a belief that the threat of right-wing, anti-government violence has been underestimated.” Terrorism aside, I'm really surprised that people haven't yet figured out that people immediately start trying to tear a person down when they get their wish and they're less-than-humble about it (much like the Dems were when Obama won and also like the Trump supporters have been since our current crisis began). Identity politics is absolutely ridiculous. It doesn't just happen in politics but also in Hollywood and many other places. I hope, one day, people will learn. We need to replace this back-and-forth leadership 'contest' with real leadership that is focused on fixing problems and realizes the message is more important than the messenger - and the solution is more important than the people who are trying to take credit for it. “A great democracy has got to be progressive or it will soon cease to be great or a democracy.” ― Theodore Roosevelt
