Funny how some of you mock memes but then turn around and say that a handful of Russians influenced an election unfairly on social media. With memes. Geez, decide already.

And to be honest... this all feels like one big poltical cycle since 2008... and the first major "gaf" that i remembee is Obama about clinging to guns & religion... that was a broad brush and put off A LOT of people... and then of course Sarah Palin withnthe "real Americans" nonsense... of course the whackiness about Obamas heritage, intentions, socialism... everyone loved the smash hit, "Birth Certificate" lol... and of course HRC with her comment about Trump supporters being a basket of deplorables or something...
Yeah, more self reflection and less finger pointing are probably a good idea right now
-Technology makes it easier to send targeted messages to people with typically emotional evidence (aka pay per access to thought control)
-Citizens are comforted by uniformity of thought and appearance, and scared of non-uniformity. They work hard to not disprove their preconceived notions, and to actively disprove others' conflicting preconceived notions. They are also overwhelmed by their day-to-day and feel powerless on political plains (aka proud and mentally lazy civilians)
-Politicians and corporations are aligned in doing what's right for their short-term needs (aka selfish, short-sighted fiscal responsibility)
-Laws and processes are convoluted and subject to interpretation (aka ambiguous guiding documents open doors to exploitation)
People should point fingers all they want, as none of this matters any more.

What happened to 'I like him because he tells it like it is.'
So I guess Trump supporters find it okay when Trump tells it like it is but nobody else is allowed to. Because let's be honest, we've all seen the rallies, you really could categorise half of his supporters as deplorables. (Bad thing to say politically but completely true.)0 -

Looking in the mirror is a lot more challenging, humbling, rewarding, and effective than staying in the echo chamber, pointing the finger, screaming, and stereotyping "the other side"

Halifax, find sonebody else to follow around and parrot, your schtick is tired, bro.Nobody is yelling.And no, "pointing out that the mainstream cable news exists for profit over informing and is toxic" is not even close to what I was saying is insulting. And I very much disagree that you haven't judged anyone.... You were doing it in this post right here.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful.
