Unlike Donald Trump, Democrats are crossing party lines and putting politics aside by fundraising to help reopen the Orange County, NC Republican office that was attacked and firebombed.
The GoFundMe page for the campaign shows what Democrats are all about:
As Democrats, we are starting this campaign to enable the Orange County, North Carolina Republican office to re-open as soon as possible.
Until an investigation is undertaken, we cannot know who did this or why. No matter the result, this is not how Americans resolve their differences. We talk, we argue, sometimes we march, and most of all we vote. We do not resort to violence by individuals or by mobs.

So, let’s all pitch in , no matter what your party affiliation, in and get that office open again quickly.
The campaign has been wildly successful. It has surpassed its goal in just a few hours.
Consider the Democratic actions in comparison to how Donald Trump characterized Democrats after the firebombing:
Animals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems in North Carolina just firebombed our office in Orange County because we are winning @NCGOP
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2016
Here was Hillary Clinton’s response to the events in Orange County, NC:
The attack on the Orange County HQ @NCGOP office is horrific and unacceptable. Very grateful that everyone is safe.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) October 16, 2016
The North Carolina Republican Party thanked Clinton:
Thank you for your thoughts & prayers, Sec. @HillaryClinton.

While Donald Trump was calling her supporters animals, Hillary Clinton and Democrats put politics aside and did what is right. There will be plenty of time to disagree about policies, but attacks like the one at the GOP county office in North Carolina are attacks our democratic process that we all must oppose together.
The actions of Democrats show that their party is looking out for and fit to govern the entire country, while when America need a leader, Donald Trump thought only of himself.
