I found your email.  My dad's a Democrat.
   I feel scared and angry seeing the phrase used again.  It's also a
   little comforting, the familiarity of it.  I need to know I can feel
   care among others, work safely with anyone I run into.  Would you be
   willing to describe why you use the phrase, why you share such articles
   on a list with diverse politics?

        Spare the children? Nah: Police seek Colorado woman who pulled
     U-turn & PUNCHED 12yo boy on bike for carrying Trump sign

            Police are looking for a Colorado woman who allegedly
     assaulted a 12-year-old boy after seeing him carrying a Trump sign
     on his bicycle – the latest and perhaps most absurd instance of
     escalating political violence in the US.
            The attack reportedly occurred Monday afternoon in Boulder,
     after a woman on a moped passed a boy riding his bicycle and saw his
     sign showing support for President Donald Trump. Police said the
     suspect then made a U-turn, confronted the boy, assaulted him and
     tried unsuccessfully to take his sign.
            A police spokesman told the Denver Post that the woman
     punched the boy four or five times in the back of the head and arms
     with a closed fist and scratched him. The suspect was described as a
     white woman in her late 20s or mid-30s who was riding a gray or blue
     moped.
