He is the kind of Facebook poster who will re-post the garbage about winning an iPhone or the free $50 coupon from Chick-fil-A. Why did I even for a second believe his claim the KKK is recruiting at the local Wal-Mart by tying a white handkerchief around the mirror on their truck? I started looking for the signs. Of course there weren’t any trucks adorned with handkerchiefs. I haven’t seen a handkerchief in years; do they even sell them anymore? But, it seemed, part of me wanted to believe the world is a dangerous and hateful place. Yes, the klan is bad, it exists, and says terrible things; but didn’t my expectation just add to the crappy atmosphere in 2017?
