I'm glad politics isn't so partisan where I live. Donald and Hilary are both awful in their own ways, yet (too many of) their respective supporters treat them both like the DPRK treats Dear Leader Kim Jong Un, when there is really no reason to. Hard to believe how many people won't admit their desired candidate has flaws.
There is this yucky fetishisation that surrounds Donald and Hilary. Personally I find Correct the Record trolls more unbearable than the people who have a Trump fetish because I think it's impossible to have a discussion with people who are paid to repeat tired talking points. I get the impression that many people who will be voting Trump are the angry victims of failed neo-liberal economic policies (although they may not put it in those terms) and aren't necessarily hateful individuals. They feel they aren't being listened to and I think they deserve to be listened to, and hopefully they can be worked with in order to end the crony capitalism that exists in many Western countries. We are are bound to see more of neo-liberalism (thanks to crony capitalism) and more neo-conservative foreign policy with Hilary as president. That war money can and should be spent bettering the lives of the poor instead of increasing the flood of refugees to Europe.
So glad I don't have a Hilary Fetish or Donald Fetish.
