Recently the political parties held their conventions. During the Democratic Convention, a father of a soldier inquired if Donald Trump had in fact read the Constitution and that he would gladly lend his copy. Falling in love with his comment I did what any millennial would do and share the video.
Of course someone felt the need to comment in opposition of the post. Below you will find the rhetoric used.

“Lap Dogs”, “These people”, “These crazy people”, with rhetoric dehumanizing other individuals no wonder there is a problem of police brutality in America. In a country that claims to be free the rhetoric used by the majority. When a human being is described as a “lap dog” how can there ever be equality. Currently there is acceptance for a presidential candidate to use degrading rhetoric towards immigrants and women. A stand is needed to end dehumanization rhetoric. A key goal is to start with media, constantly someone who is an immigrant is viewed in a negative light. Instead we should evaluate the reasoning for why someone feels the need to risk their lives to come over to America. What if instead of criticizing a human being the system as to which they fled should be judged. Instead of judging someone for their religion, how about you educate yourself. There is a need for America to become great in the sense of equality.
There is a need for America to get down from its high horse. There is a need for love in America. I will say, Donald Trump is right about America needing to be great, but America was never great in the first place. America needs to become great by showing compassion, love, and ultimately realizing a human beings life is more important than politics.
