1. So basically a solid 40% of this country is absolutely insane and

beyond help.

That's rather scary.

4. Yep. Between that and voter suppression (and the extremely high re-election rate of incumbents)...

Republicans hope to minimize the damage in November.

Most important election of my lifetime.

6. And straight up, stone cold racist. Which, Ill be honest

has stunned me that, so many Americans are racist. Seriously at this point those who still support him have to at least be somewhat racist.

Sickening.

3. solid 40%; violent 40% can be more powerful than peaceful 60%

5. Your reading and sharing

are so much appreciated.

I have been following your science threads. The one on genetics in strains of plants, Indica versus Sativa, was very interesting.
