(5,023 posts)The least of my concerns is that Obama is a little on the conservative side.
Trouble is many in people apparently are nutcases in some way.
Look at the deranged idiots out there... this very limited list:
1) People who think welfare is unnecessary, even for kids
2) Tea Partiers who think government is unnecessary
3) People who want to outlaw planned pregnancy
4) Birthers
5) People who are fine with others being uninsured
6) You know white supremacists are voting R and not D
7) People who want THEIR taxes raised before billionaires
8) War mongers are going to vote R, not D
9) Xenophobes
10) People with no concern about the environment
11) People who think oil is limitless
12) Those who think the fire dept should be optional
13) People who cannot tolerate non-Chistians
14) Those who cannot tolerate others' sexuality
15) People who think building a border wall is going to solve anything
16) People stupid enough to think billionaires give a crap about them
17) Those who would defund NASA
18) Those who would defund all other gov funded science
19) Those who think the Earth is 10,000 years old!!!
20) People who want minimum wage revoked
These are STUPID ASS PEOPLE. How do we compete with the fact that mentally deranged people are among us, and it is statistically probably that any one person believes in one of these things? Democracy means these nutcases can pick our government. I'm really freaking out, even if we win, just being surrounded by these lowlifes is sort of a bummer.
Mentioning this to a (stupid) Republican, a Republican would think I'm trying to argue. I'm not. I'm simply stating fact. They have support from all these demographics. It's not an argument, just simple math. And it serves as a reminder that many of us are just barely evolved from the primordial mud.
