10. If you find your hate turning you into the enemy, it's time to step back

I don't want to live in a country where we are acting just as stupid as the republicans. What Griffin did, in a grown up world, shouldn't have dangerous repercussions but after what happened in Portland I don't trust stupid people to see images like that and not let their stupidity take over. Plus it just creates an atmosphere of ugliness and hysteria. Either there's one party of grownups keeping this country sane or we're standing in the middle of a shit throwing contest with all of us getting dirty. No thanks. And as the poster above said, all it does is take the focus off Trump.
