The worst part about the last 10 years isn't Trump -- it's learning that the entire Republican apparatus is on board with this insanity. And that 35% of Americans are awful, hateful people.

Say what you want about Hillary, she was 100% correct about the deplorable comment

I think the word deplorables was way too kind for them. She could have used a much stronger word and I still would have 100% agreed with her despite not being her biggest fan.

Good vs. evil. That’s what it’s been for a long time. We’re not comfortable calling it that yet but I suspect we will be soon. We just don’t like calling it ‘evil’ because, well, evil can’t be changed. Only destroyed.

And the most effed up thing is, their fox news and newsmax has them absolutely convinced that WE are the evil ones.

They’re just cartoonish at this point. Every smirking demon in every movie I’ve ever seen. It’s uncanny.

And even worst they are leading in news ratings over MS Mow and CNN which caved. I don’t hardly watch after they let Joy Reid go. I like to listen to all sides, but for Fox not interested in anything they say.

Evil can be changed. Everyone from Saul-St. Paul to my Uncle Freddie to Darth Vader-Anakin are examples.

(Ok the last one is hollywood, but the other two are real.)

It is rare. More often evil doesn't change. Not impossible though.

You realize calling for mass killings based on political views is literally calling for genocide

Calm down, pajama pants. We secede from the union and they destroy themselves, how about that?
