I have a modestly successful career going, and I'm on LinkedIn. I have something over 5 or 6 hundred contacts.

A contact published an opinion piece there that did not support Trump's ban and you should have seen the hatred.

'I support our president.'
'REAL Americans...blah, blah, blah'

Out of the first couple hundred hate-support comments there was only one person who said, 'Wow, all this hate!'

This is on LinkedIn - a career oriented social media site. All that hate. Thousands of hate-messages toward this guy who, of course, had a mid-Eastern name. All he did was point out that the policy may have some flaws and these right wing nuts would have killed him.

We are sickeningly divided. If we are lucky we'll avoid a civil war or another holocaust.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
