What a sad day we live in. The sheer quantity of delusional people is dumbfounding. This "us vs them" system is the problem. Stay balanced and use your brains. Use critical thinking and get out of your echo chambers of hate. The world will be a much better place.

America should be better than this. Just respect the will of the American voter even if you don't like it. That is being an American.
