Incendiary Language 2024

September 18, 2024- Wednesday 

Over the weekend, there was another person who thought it would be a good idea to shoot Donald trump.  The Secret Service intervened and actually caught the person who fired a few shots in Trump’s direction.  I’m sure they are going to find this man to be unstable at best and dealing with certain levels of psychoses.  What’s next?  

Hatred runs deep in the United States today.  Many believe the whole idea if you don’t agree with how I believe, then you are wrong, and I hate you and will do whatever I can to silence you.  That is how Adolph Hitler operated.  My way or the highway.  If someone takes that approach in our society and decides to grab a gun today, then lives are at risk. We need to be much better than this. 

Our laws do not help us with this problem.  We cannot infringe on the lives of the unstable people in our communities so we have to wait until they commit a crime before there can be an intervention.  Our gun laws allow every Tom, Dick and Harry to own and use a gun until they commit a violent crime.  We need to move as independent citizens and protect each other from those unbalanced people in our society.  Let the police know they are not stable.  We need to be aware and unafraid to intervene. 

We also need our politically oriented people to use better language when trying to differentiate themselves from their competition.  Both liberals and conservatives use inflammatory language to get more social media views or television sound bites.  They all need to be less aggressively in how they speak so the crazies in our society will be less likely to get hyped up and go after someone they don’t like.   

The bottom-line is these politically obsessed people simply do not want to moderate their language and use less incendiary verbiage in their language.  That being said, I wonder who the next person to be hurt or killed will be?
