Spoken clearly for many of us who are fearful of the incredible ignorance of Trump and the MAGA movement. Thank you.

I grew up about 30 miles from Butler, PA, which is just up the Allegheny from WVA. It is beautiful country, full of many hate-filled rednecks. I got the hell out of there as soon as I could.

What Vance et al seem to forget to mention is [FACT] the shooter was a young GOP redneck far right gun addict from a family of gun addicts in the inbred redneck haven that is Western PA. I don't know if he was truly aiming at Felonious Con or not, but a 20 year old with an AR-15 who listened to super far right messages was also a victim: of constantly spewed, amplified hatred that has poisoned many people in our nation. And a father of young children is dead as well, just for showing up at a hate rally.

Hatred is taught. For generations. Vance evidently has not learned anything to counter his upbringing, despite his so-called educational laurels. This GOP ticket is a clear and present danger to our democracy.
