We Survived Wars, Terrorism, And The Popularity Of Nickelback. We'll Be Fine

I try to stay away from moralizing here, but I gotta say something to talk radio people about their responsibility to keep a clear head right now. This article is about the increasing talk of violence and revolution among fearful Donald Trump supporters who are now realizing he's probably going to lose. And you know about the tweet from one talk show host about "grabbing his musket" if Trump loses, and you know what some of you are saying about "rigged" elections and how the nation will end if Clinton is elected. You know, deep down, that this is just empty rhetoric -- the nation has survived every crisis so far, and will endure no matter who wins -- but there are people listening to you who are eating up every word of panic. Encouraging violence is not a good look, you know. And the mood out there is ugly enough as it is. Encourage voting, encourage support for your candidate, but let's keep perspective about this, because otherwise, bad things can happen and you don't want to be on record as contributing to that, either way.
