I know without a doubt that I care about the lives of Republican voters far more than Republican politicians and pastors. I care about them infinitely more than Donald Trump ever could or ever will.

The violence in Montgomery was another example of white people of privilege who believe the laws and rules don’t apply to them and resort to violence when asked to be decent human beings.
