(3,544 posts)So far, they haven't learned shit. It's the same old crap, over and over, and the results were 2 lost elections. I say, let them be the assholes they have always been. The people in America have spoken. I'm learning real quick, just to ignore their stupidity and ignorance. Let them continue to live in that bubble!!!!
