    Its still a tight race in the swing states. Crazy to think anyone supports this guy. He has no respect for the country, or anyone in it. There’s so many people blindly voting against their own interests. I just don’t get it.

      25 years of organized propaganda (fox news, talk radio, etc.). I live amongst Trump supporters, they truly believe prices will come down and they will make more money.

        my mom believes that we’re being “invaded” by illegals. i said, “stop using that term. it’s offensive and racist.”

        “that’s what they are. they broke the law,” she shot back.

        “and you’re offensive and racist. and i suppose that means you’re an illegal, too, since you jaywalked earlier?” I replied.

        “illegal immigrants are felons!” she shouted at me.

        “like Trump? so, he’s a 34-times illegal, then? and you’re voting for him?”

        “that’s different!” she screamed

        there’s no reasoning with these people

            Third generation draft dodger.

            His grandfather escaped Germany so he didn’t get drafted for WWI.

          It’s my understanding that illegally entering the country is a misdemeanor, and illegally reentering the country is a felony. It is an amplifying action for a huge number of other felonies though. Am I wrong? 8* Usc section 1325 vs 8 Usc section 1326.

        Fox News is absolutely one of the cause, but we can’t ignore Rush Limbaugh. He corrupted SO MANY people over the years, it’s absurd. I feel like a lot of people forget about that.

        yep, racism is a helluva drug. It’s the poor brown peoples’ fault, not the billionaires who actually decide what happens.

      Conservatives live on symbols. The Bible, the Constitution, the flag. They don’t even understand them and don’t need to because it’s really all about their emotions. They are in it to win and to feel confident, not to rule.
