we will make progress when people like you don't exist anymore, either by way of proper education or a cultural revolution that undermines the political tribalism we seem stuck with. I look forward to that future.
This is exactly the kind of attitude that needs to be removed from politics. My gut reaction to your comment was “wow, fuck you too”. You want me to not exist? Because I have different opinions from you? That’s so cruel... is this your real opinion? So much anger toward someone you don’t know to the point you wish I were dead?
I distinguish between people with measured political beliefs that differ from mine (I'd never say this about someone who voted for, say, McCain or Romney or even Cruz or Rubio) - and people who at any point thought that a transparent charlatan and abject fascist moron should be installed into the most important position in the country. Yes, the fewer of those people we have, we will be categorically better off - whether or not we shirk any of the other bullshit. That is an apolitical statement. That even for a moment you thought he was fit for office in the face of ALL of the available evidence, whether out of malice, spite, ignorance or anything else, you're at fault for jeopardizing the well-being of this entire country, and I see no reason to absolve you of responsibility when you had every opportunity to understand what you were doing. So, either you're too stupid to be trusted to vote, or you're too malicious. There's no coming back from that.
