Triggered Haverford Pol Publishes Hate-filled Screed

Triggered Haverford Pol Publishes Hate-filled Screed — Larry Holmes, who is Haverford Township, Pa.’s 6th Ward Commissioner and Board president, posted this morning a divisive, hate-filled screed on Facebook demeaning his neighbors who voted for Donald Trump on Tuesday.

“Autocrat” Larry? You’re the guy responsible for keeping township businesses from giving shopping bags to customers.

This is a real burden on shoppers especially the elderly and infirm. How can you have not figured that out yet?

It’s because it’s you that’s an autocrat.

Autocrats always think they know better. When their grandiose plans fail they never admit they are wrong.

Even when real pain results.

Autocrats also dehumanize their opponents. Saying their neighbors who voted for Trump are “insubstantial minions” is an example.

Way to keep your humanity, Larry.

LOLOL

By the way, Larry is also on the board of the Haverford Township Free Library.

Here is Larry’s screed

THE AMERICA WE ARE

Last week I wrote about the America we know. This morning, consider the America we are.

We lived through this from 2017 to 2021. And this time we know what’s coming. He can’t surprise us. America isn’t him. It’s millions of us. We’ve got this. We have no choice. We will do this for our parents, our siblings, our spouses, for our daughters, and for our sons. For our friends and neighbors. For the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of a teeming shore. We will accept the homeless tempest-tost, at the foot of Lady Liberty as she holds her lamp over our golden shores. That’s who we are, and no one person and his insubstantial minions is going change that.

I’d hoped we’d set a great example yesterday by rejecting an autocrat. We fell short of that task.

We have a new one. We will set a great example of how to keep our humanity and our dignity and our character, individual and collective, in spite of one. And remain that golden shore.

And remain the America we are. And will always be.

God bless you all and God bless the United States of America.
