that I think, in spite of the obvious flaws apparent in our culture, that good, decent, rational human beings outweigh the numbers of Trump supporters by a large margin, which we will see in November. If not? I'm outta here permanently. Simple as that. I will not support anything american, anytime, again for any reason. Donald Trump proves white privilege is an expected perk in living in America. Donald trimp proves the undercurrent rapids of racism that has always been a part of the dark underbelly of hate in america AND is gathering steam that will not be ameliorated by trumps defeat in November.

We will have a lot of soul searching to do after the elections to try to understand how a racist, fascist and mysogynistic danger could be so appealing to so many americans. I understand why a buffoon like this republican is, but many still don't get it. HE IS THE McCARTHY OF OUR ERA ON STEROIDS.

that relate to Greed. Materialism, the Me Generation, Getting what you want,
competitiveness. People with these mindsets will dehumanize others to get
ahead of them. They value little other than money and things. Sometimes
even their own health doesn't matter to them.

2. HRC elevating her game

She is more prepared than anyone ever to be President. She also has
the benefit of age. Sometimes I think our leaders are lacking in the
wisdom of age. Not that they're not smart, but a good mind learns
every nuance of everything as it ages. Sometimes things are not what
they appear to be, or there are unforeseen complications. I'd call it
50 something knowledge.
