Why is it, I feel like a puppet and someone else is pulling the strings? This election cycle has a very uneasy feel to it, two of the worst major candidates I've ever seen, and the public is moving on raw emotion. There are divisions based on race, nationality, age, class, wealth, I know it's always been there but it seems far more pronounced and far more divisive. The economy has been mediocre, Wall St. has been in a bear market, interest rates are zilch yet banks are hoarding money, pay is flat or declining, and we're still losing jobs. But where's the outrage? This feels every bit like a PSYOPS mission, twisting the people to manipulate a result in the direction of the framers of the objective. While we're consumed with Mexicans taking a few jobs or where we can go to the bathroom, or whether we want to even call ourselves male or female, someone has a mater plan they'd like to keep in motion over the next four years. Are the oligarchs controlling the public to that degree?

Out of a state population of over 2.9 million in 2014, according to city-data. That seems like "a few jobs" especially since they are likely jobs that most people don't want, y'know, those icky farm, restaurant, and hotel jobs that are low-paying and miserable. They are a real danger to the native population of KS, for sure.

Excellent point that the racist hate-mongers ignore!

Yeah, I was told that I benefited directly from illegals because "you eat, don't you?". Well, they can't have it both ways, and they can't hold those who are here legally down to the farm, restaurant, and hotel jobs forever. People have come to this country for almost 300 years to make a better life for themselves and their children. Some of the very people who have benefited from that, including trump, now want to get rid of 'those people'.

They sure can be held down to those jobs if they aren't educated enough to have a better one. You get out of life what you put in, put in next to nothing you get out next to nothing.

Instead, I think the world changes so exponentially fast (and in a bad way with guns, terrorism, hate, etc) that humans in the form of politicians just cannot figure out what to do about it all. In fact, I wouldn't expect anyone to really have rock hard solutions for any time to come.
The world is connected now. Information can be passed worldwide in a matter of seconds. Groups no longer need a brick & mortar place to gather and plan. The war on terrorism is fractured yet worldwide. We have no idea what exists on U.S. soil already with regards to planned terrorism. Whether Orlando was a blatant act of terrorism or an individual psychotic, it shows the damage one human being can do. Unleash thousands of individuals around the country and just do the math.
The human race is showing it's true animalistic tendencies. What humans are capable of doing and acting on hate. How humans can be brainwashed into beliefs (how terrorism spreads). The complexities of human nature and all of the issues it brings makes each individual issue only one small piece of a very large puzzle. Abortion, immigration, hate crimes, mental illness.... the list is very very long.
Politicians are scrambling and probably as fearful as us citizens are.

The accusations of "racism" never seem to stop. Why? Because when someone cries "racism," they don't really mean racism. They mean one or more of the following ....
1) You disagree with me,
2) You are disagreeing with a minority,
3) You won't do what I want!,
4) I need more attention,
5) I need more money.
Now stop the name calling. It does nothing for anyone.

I call em as I see em, you don't like it, too bad!

LOL, woo... too bad, that makes you tough? lol
But it didn't solve any problems and didn't get you anywhere. Obviously name calling made you feel better though.... so much so that you look for the next time to call someone racist to get a fix lol
