Kudos to my Governor for articulating this message so clearly; it's the way it SHOULD be. I fear, however, that, for far too long, we have taken the high road, while the right descends further every election cycle to a new level of hatred and dehumanization. That's a problem. My two cents is that the Governor should call on Republican legislators to denounce these assassinations ( & attempts) and challenge all legislators to set an example of foregoing the mean, hateful social media post and work together to take the high roads. Recall that just a week or so ago, Governor Walz was saying, regretfully, that maybe our side needs to get meaner. I don't like that, but it seems like the only course, unless we can shame Republicans to change their ways.
