Last month protests broke out in front of the homes of Clark County elected officials. They cursed, honked car horns, and chanted the thinly veiled expletive, Let’s go Brandon.
And this came after months of similar behavior by the public-- for all to see --during meetings of the Clark County school board.
Vaccinations, masks, the pandemic—it’s been trying. And they say true character emerges during times of stress.
Is that what this is? Is this what we have to look forward to when the next national or state crisis happens?
What’s happened to people’s self-dignity, their sense of decorum? Are they feeling so hopeless that screaming and chanting is the only way they felt they’ll be heard? Is that what they now want of their elected leaders?
