I have had it with the vapid stupidity

I am deleting all my rightwing friends and family from my news feed on fb They are talking shit about the President of the United States constantly posting bullshit petitions on my wall for me to sign The last straw was a picture of the POTUS saying his words are empty and his ideas are dangerous. What the hell ideas are they talking about that are so dangerous?

I deleted a few of my right-wing family memebers last week. I can only imagine the crap they are spewing today. It's hatred for a man they don't even want to know. They want the media to tell him he's a bad man because they are so filled with racist hatred. It's the only way I can see why they hate him so much.

and their eyes glaze over and they start babbling a string of incoherent buzz words and catch phrases. It's really pathetic, this total lack of thought behind all their memorized slogans.

Yeah, blocking their nonsense during an election season is probably a good idea.

So, if 20 years from now they pretend to have a change of heart you can pretend to have had some impact on them. Until then, they'll continue to lie to your face, call you names and proudly spread their propaganda.

Personally, I don't waste a second of my time on idiot repukes.
