Either way, we all have to live under the president that is elected. I think social media has almost turned this into a group mentality where people act as if they are on one team with the other team as winners / losers. Truthfully, I think we all are being manipulated that we hate the other side and love our side. I would imagine that most americans live a life that is not so black and white that one president will be just great, and the other an absolute disaster.

I noticed this becoming much more noticeable during the Gore-Bush campaign and especially during the debates and it has escalated substantially from there.

Hillary makes some great points like needing to import more Muslims to the u.s. - we need all Muslims around the world to help us beat ISIS, Muslims are one of our biggest allies in fighting terrorism. Plus the refugees need help. Most people in this country love Muslims living in our neighborhoods.

Our border agents do a great job at border. We need to build bridges with Latinos, not walls.

Americans with jobs can afford a small tax increase of 4 or 5 percent to help non-Americans survive. People are starving in other countries. Under Clinton we can put government first so we can all work to help the less fortunate. Help poor black communities being terrorized by cops.

We don't need a bully that hates Muslims and illegal immigrants that come here for a better life. Hillary is what we need. We need a government that helps people. A government that reaches out to other countries.

Hillary and the likeability problem: Now ALLIES line up to warn she could lose to Trump because of her 'weakness' as a candidate (and Bill might not help)
Yep, Hillary is horrible. She lies, no one trusts her, no one likes her, she has very high unfavorables....yet she's STILL more liked than Dishonest Donald! Just let that sink in a minute.

On top of that she wants Bill the first "lady" to get a job that he has not been elected for nor a job that is existing and I wonder when she will claim a salary for him!

Do you have a split personality or something? Are you actually two people? A week ago, you were all pro Trump, put up the wall, etc.

The Clinton side has a few of these types as well.

But that doesn't mean we should just open the flood gates and let everyone in.

Yea, JUST 4-5% of money Americans work hard to earn. Their already taxed enough and you want to raise them more. What are we, the worlds caregivers?

I believe this is sarcasm. Very poorly conceived sarcasm.

I'm not familiar with your posting history, so I'm not sure how to take this. Is this a serious post and you believe this, or are you being over the top sarcastic? I am thinking sarcastic because this is quite literally one of the most insane things I have ever read - and I actually screenshot it on my phone to laugh with my friends and family about - but I suppose the country has gone crazy enough that this may actually be serious.

I'm thinking this is to over dramatize how insane liberal thinking can be, and you got me good. But just asking you to confirm my suspicions....
