Are elections always as nasty as this last one we had

[NuclearEnergy]

There's a question I've been wondering; and that is why was this last election cycle so nasty? Seems Trump supporters are supper angry and mean people honestly. Is it just because things like Facebook and other social media platforms were used more or something? I was only 18 during the 2012 election cycle and I was honestly pretty clueless. I actually voted Romney. But to this day I feel Obama was better for America. I just feel like this last election cycle contained so much hate and vitriol. And the very very sad thing is that it seems to have spilled over from Nov. 8. It still feels like the election. I can no longer listen to my favorite local radio talk show because all they talk about is TRUMP!!!! It just is exhausting honesty and I feel America has become such a joke because of this. 

It got so silly I decided to quit paying much attention. I stopped watching the debates, I stopped following the news and it was so refreshing. And then my curiosity got the best of me. Now I feel like I can't even turn on CNN with some idiotic Trump surrogate getting interviewed on there. It's just depressing. And for me it's not really that Hillary lost, it's the fact he elected a total jack-ass. If it were ANYONE else in the GOP pool I'd figure out how to deal with it. But I just really can't take it anymore. 

But what do you think?
