I don’t advocate violence of any kind, political or otherwise, on any side.

I also won’t be gaslit into believing a foul hate-monger was simply a regular guy with different views.

Here is a sampling of what he was all about:

Hate is so bad for health. It's bad for one's physical health and mental health, and bad for one's soul. Spiritually, it's so devastatingly destructive. I never in my life felt hate before Trump became president the first time. And I hate him with the blinding white hot passion of a thousand suns.

Trump's body language is always completely different than usual when he's with Putin. Hunched over with that pouty look on his face ... he looks like a scared dog.
