(43,850 posts)7. Swamping Bernie sites with fake stories about Hillary. I wish we could come back together
and understand that we were played in ways we couldn't possibly have seen and were divided and conquered because we tended to trust. They went beyond what decent people could imagine doing and because we were all used to doing things with some honesty and integrity we were demolished. Good people turned on one another because of lies implanted by people who wanted our country destroyed.
We OWE it to ourselves to come back together, to talk to one another. Of course we can disagree and even fight for what we believe but if we don't find ways to compromise and work together we are going to be brought down. It hasn't happened quite yet; this I believe. But we need to learn to talk and to care about one another again.
Or we are gone.

Yes, that story I understood but that story went no where quick. No one was really talking it about.

It was highly coordinated and operating at lightning speed, with computer programming.
