It would be so much easier to just let these assholes (or do I need to say "a-holes" here?) be mean, greedy narcissistic, fake Christian lot and their stupid, brainwashed followers be how they are IF they only hurt themselves. But the truth is that they do so much damage!! They're policies and their sick, twisted way of thinking have the potential to hurt EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US. I know being angry and hating them back doesn't do me any good, but it's so hard to stay informed AND stay calm. I haven't managed to find a balance yet. And then I get mad at the people who say, "Oh, I just don't care about politics." I want to yell at them and say, "Well, you'd better start caring, buddy, because if anyone of these boneheaded clowns gets into office, you will find out exactly how awful they are!" Sigh. (Thanks for letting me vent. I can't do it on FB).
