of a kid who won't behave, that you just want to give up on her? Things like this are a punch to the gut, like finding out it was your kid who set the church on fire, your kid who shot up the school, your kid who, no matter how hard you're tried to teach right from wrong, gleefully runs around hurting other people?

How can we ever get these Americans to understand anything at all, even to be ashamed of themselves? How did our country turn out such god-forsaken offspring? It can't all be Fox News or TFG, can it? Are they the Pied Piper?

What has happened to us?

Democrats voting seems right now like our only hope. We *have* to regain control, and the only way is through voting-- and there are more of us than them--thank god.

No. Those ideas were always there. TFG and Fox News just let them be more vocal.

Because you can never reason stupid people out of anything they didn't reason themselves into in the first place.

Very few of them can be reached at this point. So ridicule them if you can't avoid them and otherwise shun them when you can. Never let them into any sphere that you control. Actively refuse to associate with them, and do it openly, loudly and proudly.

Write them off, and get on with your life.

“Fuck Trump” banner displayed? What happened to Bothsiderism??? That’s all I see in the MSM, how similar both sides are.
