One reason I ain't wish nobody dead and I ain't celebrate nobody dyin' is cuz Trump frequently does.

I do not want to be like him, or his, in any way.

I follow a lotta lefties, cuz I'm one, too, and I get pretty down sometimes reading them wishing for and then celebrating someone's death.

It's just not who I want to be, not how I want to live.
