Sometimes I can't help but feel people are really fucking dumb.

I argued with a berniebot who voted Stein, on an anti trump closed fb page who said hillary deserved to have the russians hack her and lose because of DWS, superdelegates, and Donna Brazile giving her a debate question. Truly believed the election was rigged. This person also had deep suspicion of any mainstream news outlet.

I wanted to throttle his stupid ass along with his easily led wife.

Second, i had it out again with my trump voting sister. She is convinced that I am brainwashed and pffts when I tell her I read the NYT, Wapo, and watch CNN. As well as sometimes read the WSJ and boston globe. She thinks those are all fake news. I was like she is in this way deeper than I could ever have imagined a woman who came from the same womans womb. Because that woman has smart. Both book and common sense smart galore.

For her I was scared. Also, I was scared for all of us because there are so many people who believe this shit and there is no convincing them otherwise. They truly believe the truth is a lie.

Damn what a fucked up web has been woven.

1. Can't all Dems just unite over being anti Trump?

The whole back and forth about Clinton and Sanders is not productive.
Your "berniebot" friend (and easily led wife) are entitled to their opinions and could probably throw as many insults your way.
But we will never get anywhere if this continues.

2. It was they who brung it up and wouldnt shut up.

Believe me they got no problem bullying.

3. Humans are herd animals.

The herds turn.

[boston bean]

4. So you are saying this will change??

[Skidmore]

5. It will. Eventually.

Depends on which critter gets out in front of the herd and the direction it takes. Seasons and cycles and topography contribute. We are not so different than other creatures as we would like to think.

8. I hope you are right. I hope even more it is a sane person leading the herd next time!!

6. Of course people aren't going to admit they're wrong about Benedict Donald !! Would you be so ready

... to admit you're wrong about someones character?!

OK, Maybe you would... you sound like a person who learns fast and not willing to repeat the same mistakes over and over again...

well

Maybe people are fucking stupid


never mind


sigh

P.S. I don't want to think there that many fuckin stupid people on Earth... so... I project a little

7. To me it's all reactive biogtry and fear

The kind of fear that leads to cowardice, not pravwry.

Privledge is being challenged, and the ones who already have the lions share 1) don't want to share 2) think they should have even more

Thus the unwavering defense of the most bigoted acts and words.

9. Keep fighting that primary!!!

[boston bean]

10. I am not fighting a primary. I am making a point about how people

Justify their vote for trump for president in the GENERAL.

A vote for Stein was a vote for trump.


Its fucking lunacy wouldn't you agree?
