By this time tomorrow, we can all safely state that we have "dodged a bullet" in rejecting the Trumpster...of that many of us have no doubt. "We all" implies insecurity. It's also agenda driven, and shows how you're not a thinker, you're a follower.
But what has made this country so divided, as many right wingers on this microcosm of a forum clearly shows? This statement, especially along with your thread demonstrates you're a hypocrite.
I have lived through the turbulent 1960s, felt heartbroken over the many assassinations of our leaders, and have marched against useless and bloody wars that costs us so many lives and treasure. Yet, the meanness that this forum has often shown is unprecedented. Did you know Democrats have entered more wars than Republicans? Other than that, you've proven like many youth you're liberal, but you have never wised up to the error in your ways.
For myself, I "blame" 3 factors that in my long life seem to have precipitated this huge division among our fellow Americans: I can't wait.
1. The proliferation of social media, coupled with the anonymity that such media allow, has given a "voice" to the most strident fringe of our electorate. OK
2. The whole impeachment process of Bill Clinton also showed us how vengeful politics have become (and I'm not exempt form this because I would readily admit that I simply hated the GWB administration.). What the Obama admin. has done is FAR worse than any Clinton impeachment process. You ignore the present and refer to something less harmful.
3. Most of all I blame the factor that a mere 16 years ago, we had to have a supreme court appoint a president for us, where a cabal of just 5 people told us who would lead us. Still hung up on the past huh?
I'm not even going to bring out that the Obama election also brought out the latent racism that fermented in some people hearts, since I believe that many who resented Obama were not necessarily racists, although many certainly were and are. As are the liberals who flag the race card anytime someone disagrees with them. You're a big part of the problem. You people ARE NOT deep thinkers. You operate on emotions. Reference never grew up.
I sincerely hope that Wednesday we will witness a peaceful transfer of power; a factor that has made us great as a country and as a paragon of how other countries should behave in the political arena. Too late for that. It's really an ignorant statement considering the facts in front of us. Sorry.
sure there will be disappointments and bitterness in many minds that wanted a different direction for our country...but, once the electorate has spoken in a majority voice, the results MUST be accepted. That's incorrect, and you contradicted yourself with your statement about the Bush Admin. and about "dodging Trump".
