20. I agree that's exactly how I feel.

I've tried to listen, I've tried to persuade. Now, It appears a large percentage of white men are racist and sexist, and that's no surprise. What I wasn't prepared for was the majority of white women voters voting for a pervert, and, yes, I look down on them too.. they're stupid, lazy, and dangerous.

But they didn't win "bigly." They didn't win at all, and now, we all lose.
