I have tried to explain to them calmly and with facts and backup that they can read about where they might reconsider. At first I tried this without even coming close to call them fucking morons. I can be quite diplomatic when I want to be. THEY DON'T LISTEN!

Since PBO was elected it has gotten worse. After Trump appeared it is off the charts. I WILL NOT be a member of this 'love army.' I did my best with that. The only thing that MAY get through to them is watching their world being dismantled around them by the toads they elected. Bye SS and Medicare?

Their beliefs are set in stone. They chose that nasty bigot and 30 pieces of silver over decency. That is why I want nothing to do with them in love and understanding.

They have their 'mess of pottage' and it will be bitter.
