How do we fight such rank ignorance?
This needs to stop, but those in a position to help stop it have zero inclination to do so.
I’m at a loss. This can’t be allowed to continue.

I am hopeful that with this highly public incident and surrounding mainstream discussion of the matter that includes disgust for this violent, eliminationist rhetoric that it will make voters more sensitive to it when it again appears. Even low information voters are hearing this and hopefully it will have an effect on polling attitudes and votes. This is the only way that things will change.
