I'm sorry you feel that way but this is exactly the kind of speak that got us here - everyone but us are 'deplorables'. I don't think more of this will help us

I'm sorry you feel that way but this is exactly the kind of speak that got us here - everyone but us are 'deplorables'. I don't think more of this will help us get to higher ground.
- chillwaves 7y agoAt this point it shouldn't be controversial to call Trump a liar. I don't believe saying so creates the consequences you describe (as opposed to deeper issues about tribalism, education, and opportunity in America).
- wozniacki 7y agoI urge you to watch this video, esp if youre an American. I'm not even a fan - not even by a mile - of Bill Maher but the man has a point when he implies that you are not going to be able to just make the other half vanish into thin air, by beating them in an election. They will still be around and you will just have to live with them, come what may.

- smt88 7y agoI understand his/your point, but you can beat them in an election and then take better care of them than their own party has. There are conservative people who voted for Obama twice, which almost certainly was because of the broad economic recovery under his presidency. People are a lot less ideological than everyone thinks. If they're worried about money or health, many will vote for whomever gives them the most hope.
