        This would be a good time for @BarackObama, George W. Bush, @BillClinton, @GeorgeHWBush, and @jimmycarter to make a joint statement condemning this manifestly un-American turn.

        I still have faith that it is not half and that if the blue turnout is massive next week, we can start to turn this around. I can't think about the alternative. #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

        Half don’t really understand the larger implications and the few % of wealthy white males embrace it with full understanding.

        Which clearly shows that about half of America is dumb as f***. That's the root cause of everything we are struggling with. Time to start labeling it what it is: rank ignorance with a side of laziness.
