16. This is what hurts me personally, like no other election before.

Sat Dec 3, 2016, 09:12 PM

Dec 2016

I would always speculate about other candidates' personal views on equality, but I never saw them openly disparaging someone over gender, race, religion, or disability.

Now that I realize that I know people, have even called them friends, that could support such a bigotted ignoramus, I am appalled. Those people make me sick because they've abandoned basic principles of humanity. I hate that I know who they are, because I don't want to have anything to do with them.
