Bill Maher said the same thing and got castigated for it. I don't think either of you have to hope for it.

Both major parties put forth candidates in the primaries that made voters have to hold their noses. Bernie and Donald we're the only 2 that excited people in anyway. And Bernie didn't have a TV show so what did we get a meglomaniacal despot. Jokes on all of us. Sadly it looks like he's caused consequences that can't be repaired for decades. Hoping for another recession. Maybe then this nightmare won't last 4 additional years FMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06829632906445535928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-89511052638311368782018-07-30T09:56:41.840-05:002018-07-30T09:56:41.840-05:00I doubt if it will happen, Scribe.

I think people form a certain idea of what they believe in and what appeals to that belief, and it’s difficult to think of reversing course. Perhaps it’s too hard or heartbreaking for them to admit they were wrong. Add religious faith to the mix and it becomes almost unthinkable.SandyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070366627628604352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-18138823865727847852018-07-30T09:52:21.590-05:002018-07-30T09:52:21.590-05:00The key is Klemm's statement: "I trust in...The key is Klemm's statement: "I trust in our government enough."

Where i had begun to lump all Trump supporters into one of two camps - the outright hateful racist or the slack-jawed faithful - that made me automatically dismiss anything they said, I now know that my reaction was turning me into the very thing i despise. A person who refuses to put aside his or her bias and listen and try to understand those who disagree so a conversation can, at the least, be considered.
