But I'd like to clarify. If one is a Republican and they watch Fox News, then their world-view is polluted by lies and misinformation. Throw in any other typical GOP attitudes, (racism, misogyny, xenophobia, etc.), and I can see how they think the world is in the crapper.

Sadly, too many of these fellow citizens are ignorant pawns who have been manipulated. I have no sorrow for them nor do I respect them. But I can understand how they would see the world given their lack of clear understanding.

It made the Republicans insane when Mr. Obama was first elected: a black man was president! When he was reelected, they really couldn't believe it and Karl Rove's election night meltdown was the classic symbol of their lack of ability to see the real world.

Just imagine their reaction on November 9th when they wake up to the realization that we'll have a woman president, one named Hillary Clinton!
