We really need to stop measuring political success and power by how much money is thrown at the candidate or cause. Legal bribery is exactly the problem with American politics, and as long as we perpetuate it, it owns us.
We need campaign finance reform that includes publicly funded elections. Each candidate gets an equal share of the fund, and when it’s gone, that’s it. That way, the MESSAGE will be important, not the MONEY.
We are a democracy…well, technically we’re a democratic republic. Either way, wealthy Americans (or worse, foreigners) and huge corporations should not be able to buy our elections.

Seriously. This Trumpian, mindless rhetoric and fear mongering is causing these acts of violence, all in the name of that very same hate. Anti-Immigrant. Anti-Islamic. Anti-Truth. If you don’t think the Islamophobic, Brown-person-phobic lies from the President of the United States are a catalyst for the increase of sympathetic anti-islamic hate crimes, you are choosing to see a delusion. Things are exactly what they seem to be.
These people are doing these things because they feel that they are Patriots, emboldened by this horrible, hateful man. They believe they are World Saviors, because they believe that the world needs saving, from people who ‘aren’t like them’, thanks to guys like Donald J Trump, who is vigorously preaching this very same message of hate from the Oval Office.
Saving the world from the likes of these hate-filled analog Trump-Bots is the REAL emergency.

WTF Trump?! Are you actually threatening the people of America who disagree with you? Are you trying to incite your idiot followers to take up violence, to fight those Democrats and Independents who call you out? Because that fascist shit won’t stand here, Mr. Trump. With all due respect (which for you is due a very small quantity) there are good people on both sides of Congress, and they will not allow their allegiance to you, to see our country dragged into civil unrest over your stupidity. America First. Party loyalty always plays second string.
