3 Takeaways from Fear of Trumpworld is RATIONAL

1. Take a look at recent history: "I remember when George W. Bush was making his first cabinet picks, I thought, wow, it’s like he’s picking the perfect crew for a war. We saw how that went ... With the Trump administration, we’ve got just the most fabulous A-team for shaving the edge off civil rights, hunting Muslims here and elsewhere and rounding up immigrants."

2.Take a look at what is being said: As of this writing, we’re looking at advisors like Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn (who is reportedly being tapped for national security adviser), who tweeted that “fear of Muslims is RATIONAL.” Did you know that in 2015, 190 people were killed in crashes involving drunk driving in Wisconsin? I want to see Flynn tweet that fear of people who drink beer is RATIONAL.

3. Take a look at the other person:"Put yourself in Muslims’ shoes. How would you like to see the activities of a subset of Jews lead to a tweet that suggests fearing all of us is rational?"
