Congressperson and Rep. Omar should not feel isolated when it comes to the challenges she is experiencing because obviously there is uncivilized hatred in America and trolls from elsewhere that go against the principles of U.S. Constitutional law, the intent of the framers of U.S. Constitutional law that all men (people) are created equal and that all U.S. citizens have a non discriminating right to serve in governance as the framers of U.S. Constitutional law made it perfectly clear religion is not to have any influence on governance. As such, Omar should not feel as though she is on a island but in fact relates to the struggles of African Americans and other people of America for over 200 years who contributed greatly to what made America and democracy great. Additionally these people who also struggled and dealt with terrible reprisals against their desire to serve in American governance and society, and far worse than the threats of uncivilized trolls currently against Omar. As such, I believe Omar should consider that she has a great legacy potential at being another success story in U.S. governance for historians to consider. Its all about staying strong, having plenty of support and being of good ethical courage to make America and its legacy proud. Also considering that so-called republicans use their 1st amendment rights to preach hate, divisive propaganda and other attempts to misconstrue society, one should be able to express their Constitutional rights to discuss relevant grievances they have and instead of attacking them, to work on coming to common ground in order to mitigate the argument to achieve a mutually agreeable resolution. This is considering, 1st amendment rights were exercised during the civil rights movement and going further back when it came to the women suffrage movement relating to their right to be respected against being seen as second class citizens, and the right to vote, which included white women.
