I have had a Twitter account since its inception a decade or so ago. We used it for IM during online gaming because it was easy to text on a phone and stay in a game on consoles that had lesser support...we used it for a few months and then something better was released and Twitter went on to become accepted as "real communication".

I HATE that...

and fall for his manipulations and lies, and why they think Trump gives a sh*t about "the working man."

There are a few who are not that stupid, but they are uninformed, don't keep up with current events, watch only FoxNews, so they are living in an alternative reality.

but they can count cards and stuff. Political intelligence and calculation/language intelligence are two distinct things. Though we have indeed seen that they struggle with the language thing.
