    Honestly, this should’ve been the end of it. No sane country would elect someone that said this as their president

      A significant portion of American voters: “Heh, NICE! I wish I was famous.”

          I hate to be the one to tell you, but the moral timber of the a lot of American voters is infested with selfishness and a lust for hurting others with impunity. And while good people stay home, the selfish always vote.

      We are fundamentally broken. It doesn’t matter. It’s been a facade the whole time.

      He is america. A racist misogynist bully.

      I’m going to blame reconstruction failing. We never corrected the hypocrisy at our core and this is the result.

        Amen. Trump is showing the world what America truly is. The rest of the world sees this. Many Americans do not.

        And to throw an olive branch, many countries are a Trump away from the same realization.

            Being an optimist it’s waves throughout humanity and this is merely the most recent one. We are better as a species though still not perfect. My gut tells me we will make it out of this but like many times before the old thinking will need to die.

            We are going to look back at the greed rampant today for the mental disease if truly is and address the underlying issue that makes people like Elon or Bezos not only exist but thrive. We will come to the realization that people like that are not normal and we will no longer idolize or encourage such destructive individualism.

      As well as when he made fun of the journalist who was in a wheelchair. I remember seeing that and I thought it was completely over for him, but no.

      It really should have been. The “conservatives” are not religious or conservative, they are disgusting. The “conservative” republican party is way WAY too liberal for my tastes. We should start calling republicans the “libs”, because they are.
