39. You know what really depresses me?

Fri Oct 7, 2016, 07:41 PM

Oct 2016

I go on liberal papers like the WaPo, the NYTimes, the UKGuardian and read the comment sections. The number of people in the comment sections defending Trump and ripping Clinton apart is just disgusting. Is this representative of society or is this just a bunch of unemployed trolls that have nothing better to do than to attack liberal comment sections with their hateful invective?

I hope it is the latter, but it really brings me down. I would like to think that decent human beings have better things to do than to troll comment sections all day long.
