I know people like this. I don't call them idiots. I even like some of them. But I woke up the morning after the election with the dismal realization that there are people in this country who hate me, even though I'm a small footprint person who gladly pays taxes, votes for schools even though I don't have kids (and they invariably do), so on down the line, I'm sure many of you get the picture. But anyone who could have watched those debates and come away with the notion that Hillary is the "most corrupt candidate ever" just operates in a different sphere. If you refer to Reagan as corrupt they deny it and I guess they forgot or ignore Nixon. If you bring up Harding, you're an elitist for being educated. I guess the best case is for them to be - quickly - utterly disillusioned by DT. I prefer it would be because of Russian collusion than to see my fellow citizens dragged into searing poverty.
