Unfortunately that is true

it begins with one man who throws a stone

you cant blame the others for defending themselves

it's almost impossible nowadays to be friends with someone with an opposing political stance

its not smart but it is survival

because often

Indeed. Question is. Do they pick up the stone and throw back?

they will treat you like a fucking monster

no

you don't

Exactly

thats a value judgement, there is no right answer before hignsight

It's not impossible but hard, AG. You just have to find the right people, whose mindset doesn't act in such a manner

The platform you talk on also matters

the real sick thing is when you remember that voter turnout in 2016 was something around 50%

I heard it was about 65%?

meaning that there's a decent chance that the hateful asshole who wants to kill you for being Republican didn't vote

yeah I know >CNN but still

Washington (CNN)Voter turnout this year dipped to nearly its lowest point in two decades.
While election officials are still tabulating ballots, the 126 million votes already counted means about 55% of voting age citizens cast ballots this year.

well i mean hillery clinton did go on a large career ending rant about how her fans didint vote for her

Well, shit. Can't blame them, the MSM fucking HATED Trump, Bernie sanders got fucked in favor of Hillary

she wasn't entirely wrong

a lot of people were convinced by the MSM and each other that Trump stood no chance

and so chances are they didn't even bother to vote

when i think about how thousands of people who want Donald Trump dead didn't even bother to show up to the polls, I can't decide whether I should laugh or weep

Both?

Laugh at their stupidity, weep at their hate

oh I don't care about their hate

if anything I laugh at their hate

the fact that they put so much energy towards hating someone they literally can't touch humors me

I weep for the fact that these people didn't even bother to exercise their right to help decide their nation's future

How much did Hillary's campaign spend on their campaign anyway?

2 Billion?

too much

and probably more than trump

Trump spent around $80-100 million in total last time I checked. Hillary some $1.2 billion to $2 billion

You know you're "loved" when you have them dumping everything they have at you, and you still manage to get elected

yeah

I was 18 in 2016

and I remember being really eager to vote
