The Left/ Progressives are so angry that it genuinely frightens me. One of the great things about the Christian religion is that we are urged to forgive and be humble. “Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.” But the Left/ Progressives take every course of action and opinion by the Right and twists it into an an act of unforgivable evil. Living angry is no way to live.
