my belated apologies for assuming that you were also part of the minorities you spoke about being unified. assumptions were made on my part and they do, in fact, make an ass out of mostly me.

I hope you can at least see where I’m coming from, in that talking about “if we’re not unified” in a thread very heavily about US politics would inspire a person who is otherwise left-leaning to leave one negative comment about the future of the US as a whole. I meant and continue to mean no offense to you, about whom I know nothing; my aggression was evidently directed elsewhere.
