I believer that describing Trump supporters as "low information" is being more than generous to people who obviously are clueless.

I have never seen a party like the Republicans who can call the Russians the “EVIL EMPIRE “ in one administration and kiss up to them in Trumps administration. Trump has never said a bad word about the Russians. Not one. Yet, he bad mouths other presidents all the time unnecessarily. Not many Republicans are standing agains anything Trump does. Since when does a President let a nut job like Stephen Miller influence his decisions, let alone give him a seat at important dinners? Truly, this president may be the one who finishes off democracy as we know it. He did say he wanted to be President for Life. Since when does Trump Joke?

Republicans were cool with that too, to the point that Mike Flynn's son promoted the conspiracies and Trump is a huge Alex Jones fan. Now, Republicans control all branches of government, Democrats are calling attention to their failings and it's Democrats pushing the country to the edge? That is some seriously magical thinking going on.

I watched Glenn Beck say "Don't turn into me in 2009!" and I just want to scream. He laments how the country has been torn apart and admits he played a huge part in it. He says Obama made him "a better man". How convenient, now that Obama is no longer in office. Sorry, but Republicans have created the environment we are in, they did it with their rage that Obama was elected twice and Trump still can't go a day without saying Obama's name. It is not Liberals that have torn the country apart, but I do think the country is too far apart to ever realistically reconcile. We are two countries and the divide is simply too large. The sooner we all admit that, the better off we will all be.
There are a bit over 3,000 counties in the U.S.

650 of those counties went for/voted for Obama twice.

About one third of those counties flipped to Trump in 2016.

And that has as little to do with the topic as reminding Trump voters that he lost the popular vote by 3 MILLION and only won by the narrowest of margins. This is Republicans losing their minds when Obama was in office, then suddenly crying wounded when Democrats express opposition. They seem shocked that anyone would dare, completely ignoring the crazy conspiracy theories their own party promoted. Trump supporters can make Trump their deity, but well over half the voters did not want Trump at all.

You seem to blame a lot of the hate in America on Democrats when for 8 years we heard nothing but hate/venom and vitriol coming from the right directed at Obama,You want hate and division tune into am radio and listen as CArr/Kilmead and Limbaugh churn out the hate the Liberals/Democrats chant for hours everyday or you could watch hate and delusion on FOX as they twist your mind on a daily basis or if you like to read then Breitbart /the Blaze and Info wars are there to give you your marching orders on hate,then theres Trump rallies where you can get indoctrinated on trumps deluded alt reality view of the way he wants America to become. Bottom line?While trumps base are deluded into thinking America is headed in a positive direction under the trump regime in reality America has become a country where everybody hates everybody and the world is taking a dim view of trumps course of action..

Trump pushed it off and people with morals are trying to put it back, so you are right.

When people react on emotion and not logic this is where it goes.



Anyone who goes on and on about liberals this and liberals that, as if liberals have horns and eat babies..I know is reacting on pure emotion, and not using any kind of rational logic whatsoever.

For well over a decade the democrats have been committed to turning America into a third-world sewer with their anarchy, lawlessness, racebaiting, hate-mongering, hypocrisy, and lack of morals and civility and the republicans have been such wimps afraid to stand up to these culture tyrants and their corrupt media — thus we ended up with a Trump.

It's a shame to see the Democrat Party and mainstream liberals caving to a very small, very vocal minority of left-wing nuts. It is beyond common sense to defend MS-13 gang members at the expense of law-abiding Americans for example, yet here they are doing just that.

The MSM and the Democrats have bought into the extreme views and behaviors of leftist thugs and presenting a view that the country is in crisis. In fact, only that small group of extremists, who are rioting and causing trouble is in crisis, while the rest of America goes to work, comes home and lives life.

Once again the left is creating a situation of crisis, that they have brought on, yet they are attempting tor bring us all into it.

No, we ended up with Trump because he is in bed with the Russians. How do you think he got the loans he got when the American Banks cut him off? Magic? Hardly.
