The death of freedom

The elections tomorrow are important. I voted by mail weeks ago.

We need to send a message that we don't want this new way of aggrandizing violence and intolerance in our country.

A country founded on the principles of tolerance has suddenly done an about face that is escalating faster than most of us dreamed possible.

Intolerance is becoming the new norm, lies from the top down make people believe it is not only okay, but American to kill those they don't agree with.

We have become a country of scapegoats. Any problems are blamed on people who are a different sex, or religion, or who love people we don't approve of. Immigrants seeking asylum are put in pens, separated from their children and accused of being criminals when all they want is to escape the gang and political violence of their own countries.

We not only want everyone to look like us, love like us, worship like us, think like us, but we are willing to assault them if they don't and somehow this is American? It is becoming more common now than it has been in years.

We are losing freedom faster than you can say white supremist.
