Kobe speaks words of truth and wisdom. MAGA are you listening?

“A POTUS whose name alone creates division and anger. Whose words inspire dissension and hatred can’t possibly “Make America Great Again.”

books I have ever read was about how torn people were around the Mason Dixon line immediately after the civil war. And how some directed this toward Lincoln.

with the same passion. What is so strange though is they can't point to anything even close to what trump does.

Before the 2016 election my sister-in-law said she couldn't stand Hillary. I asked her why, and her response was, "I just do." Sadly there are a lot like her.

room a couple weeks ago and their TV was on health videos. I made a joking comment to an older couple sitting there and said " at least they could put Judge Judy" on. The husband said "I love her!". Then I could see the wife whisper something to him. So I said, " yes, she just endorsed Bloomberg. I like him, he seems to really care about people.". The wife then said "hmpf..YA, right..." with utter disdain. I said "better than that Dipshit in there now" (first thing I could think of saying). They then moved to the other side of the room.

I sat there and thought, here we are in a deep red part of Texas. There is NO way in hell that this woman had investigated Bloomberg's life and policies and determined he really never helped anyone enough..to her satisfaction. There's no truth authority here anymore. It's 100% gone. Right wing has effectively tapped into people's minds.
