who are violent or abusive. It's not a republican thing. Dismissing it as such actually puts human beings in danger.

It's not an us vs. them thing.

It's an abusive human being thing.

And we need to listen to women and men who come forward about their abusive spouses or partners. It's not tied to their political beliefs. It's tied to unexplored anger and an inability to control their responses to that.
