Society is seriously fricked and this country will likely never be the same.

Our media is dog shite and nobody believes them.
Republicans and Democrats fundamentally distrust anything the other side says and thinks the other side is evil.
Our voting is even fricked and seems to have heavy fraud abuse by activists.

I think we will just continue to unravel...

3rd world, here we come. At least a bunch of rich people will feel good about themselves though.

It's over if we give up. Look to Trump as your paradigm of hope. shite doesn't stick to him. He keeps marching on and over the mother frickers. Keep marching on.

No. That's been the biggest problem. All of his trying to stir the pot and piss off the other side is working and it's emboldened some of the worst people in the right wing. Trump is definitely not the answer for what this nation needs to heal. You have to understand that.

Well now I realize I wasted any words before this. You're just an idiot

Fixed that for you. He drove us here. We need to look elsewhere to get us out.

Like the Dems are anything but our way or the highway. Remind me again which president said elections have consequences? You frickers are so far up your own arse you can’t see the hypocrisy.

You're an idiot if you think Trump has anything to do with what's happened. Hes just another in a long line of other issues.

I would have a boner for a month straight if people didn't believe in government anymore.

Do you get tired of being all about emotion and nothing about substance?

He definitely has a lot to do with what happened but I suppose I should've said be brought it to a head rather than driving us here. It started with the far right tea party, then swung to the far left SJWs. Along the way we've always had a relatively steady voice at the helm and a solid system of checks/balances. Trump is different in that he not only stokes the flames but he also starts fires himself just to watch them burn. He somehow manages to tell more lies every day and he does so just to piss people off and further the divide because it benefits him.

Shh . . .

. . . or you'll get RA'd for rocking the boat !

These guys aren't interested in decency look who they idolize. They all wanted the swamp drained so bad, it was at all cost, and the exterminator they found turned about to be maybe the biggest rat of them all.

I think you need some perspective. There are some serious issues, yes, but they pale in comparison to the rest of the world. The vast majority of elections we just had occurred without any major problems. Public services work pretty well for the most part. The violent crime index, last I checked, has declined to a rate equivalent to what it was in 1970, before the drug war, and when the country had 120 million less people.

Human societies will always be contentious. They've never operated any other way. That things work so well in millions of instances every day is ignored for some reason.

You might as well say you're 15 years old. The issues today took root decades ago, if not more. Everything today is a response to the past.

I’m not saying the system doesn’t work... I’m saying people don’t believe in the system because they perceive it’s broken and rigged against their side. And that will cause society to unravel further and further.

FWIW both sides think this so I’m not just blaming libs.

And Obama was...?

shite like coloring the white house rainbow with lights and "elections have consequences" are the detention of stoking the fire.

Figuring out a solution for healthcare and keeping the economy growing will alleviate a lot of those perceptions. Easy enough.

110,000,000 voters just voted. How many of those were fraudulent? VERY, very few, I'd bet.

I still believe in US institutions.
