    The majority of decent Americans are not prone to violence but this crap is building up outrage among Democrats, Independents and conservative Republicans to a point where all hell is about to bust out.

      This is what I’m afraid of. I just don’t see us all holding hands across the nation any time soon.

          Exactly. This was the “initiative” to which I was referring. We’re further from that than any other time in my life. I just keep wondering when the breaking point is going to be.

          It was a pretty silly idea overall. Nice intent, I guess, but seriously, who was supposed to be standing around in the middle of nowhere in New Mexico and Arizona?

            They were even saying that at the time. No one is going to stand in the desert in Arizona at the end of spring.

            My family didn’t participate. Not sure what my parents’ reason or reasons were.

              My family did, I’m 100% sure it was my dads doing as it doesn’t seem like something mom would do.

              I was little, i just remember driving to a nearby town and standing on the side of a road holding hands with someone for a few minutes and then leaving lol.

                I would have been 9 years old at the time. If my parents made me hold hands with a stranger, I would have felt really uncomfortable.

                  I would’ve been 6; my parents probably sandwiched us kids between them. It was the 80s though, I might’ve been besties with a stranger if they said had an NES and Super Mario Brothers at home lol.

        I don’t want to hold hands. I want to hold criminals accountable.

      Doesn’t/ won’t matter if the Dems don’t go out and vote. Remember the bulkshit that was 2016. Complacency started it all.
