It's a cesspool I won't stick my toe into. Better for your mental health to not go there.

They are completely devoid of facts.
I personally am having a very hard time wondering how we can even share a country with these people.

3. You are correct - there is a large slice of the populace that will never be reached.

Got to move on without them - or at least hope they lose interest and stop voting.

where everything is backward. It's why I don't go there. I'm not surprised that they have never looked up the definition of "fascism" or that they don't know Clinton won the popular vote by 3 million votes, they just seem to hear a bunch of nonsense from the pulpit and believe it, especially when it's backed up by talk radio.

I said 8 years ago when Obama was elected with a slim majority in Congress that he needed to take advantage of his first 2 years by steamrolling right over the rabid right, that they'd never give an inch. I was correct but nobody listens to me.

Were the Democrats in Congress finally to grow spines, the wisest course for them over the next 4 years would be to play the same procedural games the GOP has used for so long and hamstring the Trump agenda until they force the rabid right to change the procedures.

Then, should we ever win a majority, we might have a chance.

Until then, read that Yahoo page, realize we have been cheated again and will continue to be cheated because when god says you don't have to obey laws, play by the rules, or treat people decently, the godly will fail to do so.

After I saw that comment where a guy was talking about Obama being the "Arab who occupied the WH for 8 years". Some people are just too god damn stupid and consumed by hatred to even be reasoned with.

"Who wrote this dumb question? Trump lost the popular vote bigly, more voters did NOT come out for him. Clinton slaughtered him by almost 3 million votes. And you dummies are answering "yes" like its a valid question."
