9. 1/3 of our nation is racist or stupid or both

"How. the. fuck. did we. wind. up. Here."

I might be wrong but there has been a campaign to dumb down the
American people on many different levels and it started w/getting rid
of the fairness doctrine in our publicly broadcasted media and attacks on
public education. God only what % of republicans really still think that
Hillary Clinton and her emails committed some kind of crime.

I almost wept for our nation as I saw Trump and company leading "lock her
up chants" in front of crowds of mouth breathers in what I think was ment to
set the stage of an "us vs them" civil conflict.


When i was boy in n.w. PA our next door neighbor's brother in a
very middle class neighborhood was the Governor of PA, Ray Shafer,
and he was a great progressive guy and he was a republican too.

The rigging of our elections have also contributed to our nation's decline.
