219. If I may do a little paraphrasing

Fri May 26, 2017, 12:43 PM

May 2017

of your second and third sentences, they're such a concise and accurate summation of my take on this horror. Donald Trump is weak, insecure and completely and pathologically self-centered. He is a vile excuse for a human being and SO IS ANYONE who isn't appalled by his sickening behavior.

The "so is anyone" part is why I try to avoid political talk anymore. I live in a deeply red county, almost 80% Republican, and I really don't want to know if someone STILL supports Trump. I know they can't be persuaded or argued with and I can't go around hating almost everyone I come in contact with, so I don't want to know their hateful side. I didn't think anything could be worse than the Bush years, but this, I feel, is. And we're just 3 months in. God(or something) help us.
