What's your thoughts on Trump?

Facebook God put it much better than most: Sometimes the forest has to burn before something new can grown.

I just don't get it. Rarely use more than 5 words in a sentence in school and you might get put in the special ed class. Do the same thing when running for president and you win.

[Minimalist]

That's tough on those who are living in the forest.

Do the same thing when running for president and you win.

It's called preaching to the choir.

With %46 of the voters, you're right.

No, it isn't. Journalism is a profession. Social Media is wayward idiots catering to even bigger idiots without any rules or legislation.

Everyone with a blog thinks they're a journalist

I don't know about Fox news, but here we've got two popular news channels, filled with conspiracy theories. And I expect, somewhere about 40% of the population are tuned to them. Idiots, yes. Many, sadly yes. But the worst thing about them, they managed to convince a lot of retards that the President of the country is Nazi because he is ethnic german, that he sold children to foreigners (last theories I heard, to Angela Merkel), that he wanted to throw gypsies into concentration camps, and that he himself burnt down clubs and thus killed people. Also, Soros is stealing the country and there is an Illuminati-like omnipotent threat called the "Binomial" - mathematical term, that's ridiculous, I know, but to them it refers to two institutions, for USA smth like CIA + FBI - which is taking our freedom and are subjects to the President. And the protesters are enemies and traitors to the nation. And yes, the multinational companies have orchestrated all recent protests.

And of course, just like your Trump, the ruling party feeds its supporters with the same conspiracy theories.

Journalists payed to spit conspiracy theories at TV channels? That's too far. And it feels like Hitler's propaganda on public television. Those people may be idiots and retards, but they are victims of a diabolical propaganda. And you can't know when, where, or how it's gonna end.

I don't give idiots a pass. There's no law against any person collecting as much information as possible from as many sources available to them. To stew in one's bubble is the hallmark of willful ignorance. And there's nothing I despise more.

Problem is, they don't do it. You can leave with it and don't give a pass if they are few. But it truly becomes a concern if they are many.

I always knew it. We, human beings, are completely fucked up.

You don't need to worry about it. It's only Romania.
