I highly doubt the left will do anything uncivil. How can they win back the country? Is it too late?

    How in the fuck.

    Like what drives a majority of Americans to vote for a demented toddler. It’s insane.

    As a kid I always wondered how on Earth did Hitler ever make anyone follow himself, how did those people not realise. Turns out a majority of people are just fucking morons.

      Yep and the slow gutting of the education system isn’t making it any better.

      You have an entire generation coming of voting age who are rabid Trump supporters. They don’t care about policies or democracy or public institutions. They don’t care about healthcare, social securities, or the stability of the economy.

      They don’t care about any of the things that have been built up through generations. They lack critical thinking ability.

      The recipe works. If you make dumb kids they will vote for dumb people. It works so well that part of the future plan for a trump presidency is to get rid of the department of education. Solidifying the Republican party indefinitely.

      Without critical thinking and with mass media it’s so easy to say every problem that people deal with is because the “other side” made it so. Even if the other side has been doing everything possible to achieve the opposite.
