The willingness assassinate a president and murder innocent bystanders is not a transferrable character flaw that you can place onto an entire voting bloc.
After the shocking news of the assassination attempt of Donald Trump, I received a phone call from my cousin who by no means supports Trump as a politician. His tone was deeply somber. «I don’t like Trump, but I don’t want the man dead!» He told me.
My cousin isn’t an anomaly in his feelings about this tragic moment in American history. While we sometimes have our political differences, I know that he and most voters like him who despise Trump aren’t sociopaths who wish death upon Trump.
In our hyper partisan environment, where politicians use inflammatory language and preach to an emotional voter base about how their opposition will bring the end to our nation, it becomes easy to take the worst individual from one side and make them the poster child for the entirety. But the willingness to commit an incredibly evil act to assassinate a president and murder innocent bystanders in the process is not a transferrable character flaw that you can place onto an entire voting bloc.
I am a strong believer in personal responsibility and being accountable for your actions.
