[@wendysturdevant215]

Only for the educated.

[@Bill_Garthright]

Yeah, kindness is everything,... but Americans went for hate. Americans went for hate, and for racism, for bigotry, for misogyny, for faith-based thinking, for idiocy, for corruption, for ignorance, for fantasy,... but mostly for hate. Kamala Harris went all-out for cooperation, for healing, for kindness, and for intelligent policies. But Trump just got crazier and crazier, angrier and angrier, dumber and dumber. And Americans preferred ignorance and hate. That's just who we are as a nation. Too bad, huh? Yeah, I wish we were different. But think about it. The Republican Party has dominated nationally for a half-century now, based on their Southern strategy of deliberately wooing white racists. This is not new. It's getting worse all the time, but it's not new. For more than 50 years, the smart bet has been to bet on bigotry and hate. And on ignorance - on _willful_ ignorance, choosing fantasy over reality because we prefer fantasy (hateful fantasy, mostly). This is America. Like it or not - and I do *not* like it - this is who we are.

[@wendysturdevant215]

@Bill_Garthright nice comment but I can guarantee you that until the White supremacists are bumped off the hate will exist.
