Found in my Facebook feed on Monday morning:

Dear folks on the Right (I know there aren't that many of you here, but still):

Your dude is a monster. You need to start denouncing him loudly and publicly right now. This is going to get worse and I need to know where our common humanity lies.

As he starts to cross more lines (truth/lies) and as those lines become more and more urgent for people’s health and safety, know that you can always opt out and disagree. Please draw your own line and don’t let him take you past it.

We disagree on the how, but we shouldn’t disagree on the what. We all want good, safe, and free lives. When someone you love is threatened with the loss of those things, please stand up on your side of the line and oppose him.

As always, if reading this makes you think that I’m ignoring glaring hypocrisies on my own side, I’m happy to hear you out and discuss them. There are things from the previous administration that I disagreed with and times when I swallowed my dissent in the name of other aspects I did approve of. 

I reiterate from my earlier comments here: We are afraid, and we are angry. This is not the same political squabble. This is new, and this is serious.

What are you finding in your Facebook feeds that tell us about Americans? We're curious to hear...
