Apparently there is another 3rd party candidate running this year.

I believe he can save us all from Trump and Clinton.

He might be good (although I keep hearing he's some kind of social justice warrior), but I think he will have a hard time convincing white voters to give their vote to a middle-eastern candidate.

In the wake of Donald Trump’s election, many groups in the U.S., including African Americans, Muslims and women, are feeling scared and uneasy.

Trump, who has said he would ban all Muslims from entering the U.S., made sexist and insulting comments about women and racist comments about people of color in America, is a frightening prospect for many Americans who believe he is unfit for office.

So while protests rage on across the country, one movement is using a simple yet powerful symbol to show their support for anyone who is fearful of what is to come.

By fastening a safety pin to their clothing, people are declaring themselves allies to groups who have been maligned by Trump, to show that they stand in solidarity with anyone who might be afraid...

I love the idea but now there's a whole other side to this, apparently. I guess it makes a good point.

That's a great article, I'm going to share it on Facebook. A lot of people are wearing the pin because they want to be a part of it, but don't realize they are agreeing to jump in and help, whatever that help may include.

I've been posting free self defense courses as I find them, for both, the person willing to help, and the one in danger. It never hurts to be prepared. I think most of them teach deescalation as well.

I'm glad I saw it because I was ready to start wearing one because I want to show that I'm supportive but being someone who's afraid of her own shadow, I see now that it would be a bad idea. It doesn't mean I wouldn't step up under certain circumstances...at least I hope I would.
