In light of the traumatic events that have unfolded in the last few days (letter bombs/synagogue shooting), I felt it important that TalkFrank make a statement.
Unfortunately, it is not a new mantra. In fact, it's one that I have repeated over and over again:
We get what we pay for.
Led by our President, the direction this Country has chosen is becoming one of exclusion instead of inclusion, animosity instead of compromise, and greed over compassion. And, make no mistake about it, with Mr. Trump in the bully pulpit a steady stream of fear and loathing fuels his base and whips them into a frenzy of invective: hate thy neighbor, condemn thy neighbor, fear they neighbor.
Now, this is not to say that EVERY supporter of the President is evil and malicious. That's simply ridiculous. However, what I am claiming is that he has created an atmosphere that breeds the kind of violence that only seems to be increasing, i.e. HATE CRIMES.
It is more than disturbing.
But, we can change it - ALL of it. And, it is SO simple. There is already a process in place that can rectify the situation. It's called THE VOTE.
If you feel that our Country is heading for a place that you no longer feel comfortable living in - CHANGE IT! Of course, if you agree with Mr. Trump's vision of America, by all means, vote your conscience. But, then, be prepared for the consequences because -
We get what we pay for!!!!
