Watch your back, Folks!!

37. I tell people in public that if they have a problem with Obama, they need some kind of medical help!

The hatred is just - INSANE. I did not want to see this, I had a hard time getting a grasp of how bad it could be.

I know I freaked seeing Palin doing her klan rallies in the South - honest to God, when I saw those in 2008 - it was like going back in time. The only thing missing was the white robes and pointed hoods and the cross burnings. Stupid me, I thought people had evolved.

After that and those lunatics who were going to kill him and a lot of blacks to start a race war - not sure if that was the Waffle House Putsch Gang- or Aryan nations or Nazis or what - I was unable to watch any more coverage. I felt like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

I couldn't watch the returns that night, just kept on flicking the TV and internet on and off. I just couldn't bear to see the loss to those (insert word here).

Then the win!!! He was elected and I thought, maybe it will be different, after all. I told myself, you are an old lady, what you remember is old and the new generation doesn't feel the fear and angst, it's their world now, great for all of us.

I cried for 3 days. I couldn't believe it was over. At last.

Then he was inaugurated and the shit started up the first day! It NEVER let up! I argued with the wingnuts for a couple years and finally joined DU after the election in 2010.

I'd enough of the troglodyte right where I'd been posting for years on a mixed board -as they finally started up with their psychopathic racist rants, not amenable to reason or facts. But the final straw was after I doubled down on them for posting all that hate and the 'liberals' apologized to the RWNJs whining like victims!



I came here and it was better. Outright RWNJs were getting banned but then it seemed the same bunch I begged to vote in 2010 who'd gone all CT were here and went after Obama. And still going on here now, just faster, much, much more slick, but same song and dance.

All of this is what I call the national 'Id' finally showing itself. And it's not pretty!
