we have to just admit that a good half of all Americans are just stupid, bigoted assholes that don't deserve what we have. Americans have been extremely vindictive against each other for the past 30 years and probably longer. We begrudge a poor family getting free food but don't bat an eye at corruption on the scale of Haliburton/Cheney ,or Putin/Trump as they literally steal the planet for their own enrichment.
We vote for the "businessman" who is just a fraudulent salesman over a talented woman who claimed "We are great because we are good", because we are vindictive.
This is one thing Hillary was wrong about.
Don't ever forget what they (we) have done, and yes, don't ever forgive.
