It's like people forgot all the men, women and children McVeigh and Nichols killed. And just ignore all that came after. They fucking assassinated Dr Tiller, at his church on a Sunday morning. As he filled duties as an usher. Simply because they didn't view him as the right kind of Christian. The assassin is still celebrated to this day in their circles.
My mom is sweet and is a good grandmother, but politically she's completely brainwashed and driven by irrational fear. I'm genuinely glad your mother hasn't fallen for the same shit.
