64. I don't understand it.

I have been reading here a very long time and logged on because of this thread. I deleted my social media lately. On facebook because I can't stand Zuckerberg anymore and I just deleted twitter because of the 'no difference' people. Except what I was hearing a lot on twitter was the unbelievable 'clinton is worse than trump' b.s. It is mind-boggling to me that people believe this but maybe they just saw him as a 'reality show star' and were in middle school during the Bush years so maybe didn't understand what happens when you give a megalomaniac unbridled power. I can't stand hearing it anymore. I kept losing it and getting blocked so finally I deleted it all. Maybe I just need to be somewhere where people are reasonably sane for a while.
