The method of showing support might be similar to something like the George Floyd demonstrations. But I'm not giving them shit for their method, I'm doing it because of who they're showing support for. If somebody wore a bandage on their ear in solidarity with an innocent person who was shot in that spot by cops, I'd applaud them.

And as for fragmenting our nation, there is no tolerance available for fascists and their supporters. They choose to split us apart when they vote for someone like Trump who targets the vulnerable in our society.
