That was beautiful. "This was about my religion, not theirs. And, it was about what I think I must do as an American when our way of life is threatened. Targeting people for their religion not only threatens our way of life, it is the polar opposite of our way of life."

I think this was the first time I felt genuinely hopeful that something good and beautiful could, somehow, grow out of the filth of what has happened. The Trump people have felt emboldened for the first time in a long time and they feel like they have the support of others to spew their feelings... well, maybe those of us who have been too quiet and polite or intimidated to get up in other people's faces will speak loudly and be heard. There are more of us than there are of them; we're just, as a rule, quieter. No more.
