these people were willing to accept him.

Even now, people just don't get how straight up fucking stupid this country is.

We are the only people voting out of reality and common sense, that is 1/3 of the country.

Our 1/3 gets directly negated by their out and out brain washed zombies.

BUT, that middle 1/3 is not "on our side."

They are not full on walking dead, but they are infected by right wing bullshit, too. They believe "they are both the same" and will break R as often as not because they will single issue vote on some bullshit that the Rs pull people in on.

I am not saying it is absolutely helpless, but sorry, the smart money is on the stupid until proven otherwise.
