The Elephant in the room this Thanksgiving

I was listening to I believe it was "Prairie Home Companion" today on the radio as my wife and I drove to San Francisco this rainy day. It was pretty funny as they sang about the elephant in the room this thanksgiving and gave thanks for fermentation and Turkey and food but also made reference the arguments and violence at Thanksgiving at Thanksgiving Tables this year as families turn on each other.

In some ways this is even worse than the anti-war movement of the 1960s and early 1970s where the Young and old moved away from each other and never spoke again the rest of their lives. We are there once again. Many grandparents of the 1960s and 1970s never met their grandchildren ever because of these problems then. The same might be true now because we are in a new revolutionary stance. And hopefully it stay non-violent.

However, last night I saw a video of an older man with a Trump bumper sticker on his car be forcibly removed from his car by minority men and beat up pretty bad. Just having a Trump bumper sticker on your car might put you in the hospital or even end your life in man parts of the country right now.

It is also possible having a "Clinton" bumper sticker in the south might also get you beat up or killed especially in the South right now too by White Nationalists.

So, like I said before, people are getting beat up and dying because of this election all over the country now. And unfortunately Trump is not helping when he makes Hamilton Tweets instead of trying to bring the country together.

However, someone with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (like Hitler) doesn't really get anything about bringing us all together in reality. That isn't a part of this personality disorder thinking because there is no empathy involved.

Note: My thought is that if you go into an area that is a different demographic than yours you might not want a Clinton or a Trump Bumper sticker on your vehicle or T-Shirt or shirt or purse or backpack because it might cost you your life or put you in the hospital.

If we all want to stay alive and well we need to be practical now the country is at war with itself to this degree.

We haven't started a bloody revolution yet but if Trump keeps us his present rhetoric that isn't far away.
