Excellent post @niallon11.
You summed it up nicely with this below....
Words are weapons if used the wrong way but they can also be the driving force of change.
Unfortunately, we have a Leader in our Country (USA) who uses words to demonize groups of people who may look and act just a little different. And it's definitely words of "weapons" and is just sickening
Good to see you over this side of steemit and i'm glad that you liked the post. We do hear quite a lot about that leader of yours over here too. He makes the news fairly often and he owns a golf course near my home town that i used to work in.
I can appreciate people who have convictions and are willing to back them even against popular opinion but that is not what he is doing. He is targeting certain groups with the intention of grounding them down. He doesn't stand for something, he is playing to the crowd.
