Down here in Texas there's plenty of bigotry from the "loving" Christian conservatives for the whole world to live off though, so no worries of it going away.

*yawn* Respond to me, insult me, pick fights, or we can just be men and let it go. I think we liberals need to work together, and fight the eight hundred pound gorilla called the GOP, if we want to win the next elections.

You're being irrelevant again.
You said Americans were dumb fuckers. Do you retract that or not?

You said Americans were dumb fuckers. Do you retract that or not? The half of America that voted for Trump are dumb fuckers, so I retract my statement to the half that didn't vote for him.

I'm not a liberal, I'm an independent.
I'll do my share to keep Trump a one-term president ... but part of that is pointing out sloppy thinking wherever I see it.

A true pedant would point out that less than half the electorate voted for Trump, making that number considerably less that half of all Americans.

Trump is just the tip of the iceberg. The hatred, bigotry and stupidity that led to him exists among a huge portion of the populace, and many people did fail to recognize how widespread it was till this point.
