“Cowardly Dem Viciously Assaulted Terrified Girl"

Or "NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch - swallow a gun!" Outside a cookie shop in one of Houston’s most idyllic neighborhoods, a local council member spied Trump’s name on a teenager’s shirt and yelled a few of the president’s worst words at her. Then the internet found out. It’s springtime in the age of hysteria - A longish Texas Monthly piece.

Unfortunate as all this is, it seems not irrelevant to remind readers here of the etymology and not-so-distant history of "hysteria".

Yawn.

I guess as a liberal who lives in Iowa, I don't have the energy to get upset at every Trump shirt, yard sign, or ball cap I see. I can't imagine Texas somehow has fewer of these.

I say pick your battles, and battling teenagers isn't worth my time. I'd be half tempted to wear a Trump shirt if I knew it was going to piss off people like this woman. Seriously, I guess be careful not to become the thing you hate?
