This site has become my salvation.

20. This morning I was crying, thinking about the sheer scope of hatred in some people's hearts...

The hatred that this election has brought right into the forefront, out from the shadows and into the open.. it just brought me straight to tears this morning. It's not just hate for Hillary, but it's hate for everyone that doesn't look like them, speak like them, or believe like them. It's hate for people that need a helping hand, hate for people that don't want to be told who they can and can't love. The scope of their hatred knows no bounds.

I was feeling overwhelmed thinking about it. But then I came to DU and I read your post, and it lifted my spirits, reminding me what a great community this is. There might be a lot of hatred and deplorables in the world, but there's also a lot of love, compassion, and goodness too. I see it all of the time when I come here. People coming together to support candidates and causes that would progress us further into the right direction, and rallying against those that would seek to take us backward. It makes a difference, and it gives me hope.
