Instead of "reaching out," why don& #39;t we take this opportunity to make very clear that racism, xenophobia, and authoritarianism are repugnant to a decent society. Let& #39;s reject them, loudly & publicly, & extend social disapprobation to those who support them.

When someone expresses racism, xenophobia, or authoritarianism in public, they SHOULD face backlash. We do not need sympathy for those facing such backlash -- that& #39;s things working as they should! Reserve your sympathy for racism& #39;s millions & millions of victims.

Oh, wait, what& #39;s that, your motivations for discrimination & hatred are "religious"? Yeah I don& #39;t care.

Sure, let& #39;s "reach out" these folks. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/2-men-detained-after-police-learn-possible-threat-philadelphia-vote-n1246774">https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-n...

I mean, I& #39;m not gonna rant about this all day, but the "reach out" talk has begun *while the authoritarian lunatic they all supported is still in the White House trying to defy the democratic will of the people*. They& #39;re still trying to start a goddam civil war! Read the room.
