I have to take a break from Facebook for awhile or I swear I am going to run amok. [View all]

I have spent the past week defending Obama from the most bizarre bullshit attacks EVER. I am so sick and fucking tired of refuting total bullshit I could SCREAM. And if I completely debunk one thing, they just move on to another thing, completely ignoring what I have said.

There are people that six months ago I would have told you were normal and intelligent people who have just completely gone batshit over this whole election. BATSHIT. I don't think I will ever be able to look at them the same way again, and that makes me sad.
