30% of the people in our country are complete fucking idiots

Oh, and as religion wanes more and more in the coming decades these are the fuckers that turn into groups like ISIS.

On a positive note, the majority of the people in our country are sane We just have to learn to mock and ridicule the stupid until they are in the dustbins of history.

Now there are peopke who are not blithering idiots who will vote for Trump, let's be honest.

But the number of greedy multi-millionaires who value low taxes over national wellbeing is not large enough to change the percentages much in a nine-digit electorate.

I live in Kansas and am appalled at the things that are being said by the Republicans. Just when you think it couldn't get worse, it does.

The undecideds baffle me....
My mom though honestly tunes out politics until the month before the election.
She has been conditioned to hate Hillary for 30 years. Her friends are republicans and have fed lie after lie to her.
To her credit I guess bc Trump is sooo bad she has been willing to listen to me. I have showed her the Hillary that I know and she know gets why I love her and is impressed with her record.
After the debate Sunday I called her. I asked her what she thought of Trump bringing those women. She said, "TRASH!!! He's trash!"
We now have one more Hillary voter in Kentucky!

These morons truly believe Trump will do their bidding and appoint a SC judge that will overturn the decision. Trump listens to no one, so there is no guarantee he would appoint such a judge, so their only other option is that God will strike Trump down so that their anti-choice poster boy Pence could assume power and git-r-done.

There is a group of evangelical pastors that are actually praying for the second scenario. Do they not think that this kind of talk will not encourage one of their zealots to take Trump out as part of "Gods plan"? These are truly delusional and dangerous people, and they are not going away even when HRC wins in November. We're in for some rough times.

Not surprisingly, lots of Dems are using this as a scare tactic, as if they are equally as ignorant of the SCOTUS appointment process.

The level of that kind of ignorance goes right to the bone. Follow her out to the
parking lot and she probably has a "Rush is Right" bumper sticker on her car.

Fox has caused a lot of damage. Pushed many otherwise decent citizens over to the dark side.
Brainwashed masses. Some of them are waking up to the truth and we need to welcome their wayward selves back to the party of the people. For many it is too late.

Or the 30% on the other side of a political divide?

Learn to mock and ridicule. Usually we say that's the wrong thing to be teaching people. Good and bad probably just depends on what you mock and ridicule, not that you do it.

I'd like to blame them for that but I can't. They were born that way. What is really disturbing are the folks I know who ARE smart and still back he-who-can't-be-named. They are the ones that make me bury my head in my hands.............

Because civil unrest doesn't really require the mobs to be smart.
