Statistics dont lie.

About 55.7 percent of eligible voters in the United States voted in the 2016 Presidential election. Of those, about 46.1 percent voted for Donald Trump. Now since, by definition 50% of Americans must be below average, that proves that statistically every person who voted for Trump is likely to be below average. Furthermore, the current president was put into office by around 20% of the electorate.
So the election was hijacked by a small minority of idiots and they elected a fool.. And no one has actually DONE anything about it.. Shame on you America! Shame.!😱

I am learning to just stay out of it
When my best friend basically jumps on me and says why he thinks the race to get the electoral collage votes ,is more fair than to wait for all votes to come in (absentee ballots too) ,and count every single vote ,I was at a loss for words (oh crap ,my buddy has lost his common sense too )
In my opinion "Then the people have actually spoken ",,with Gore /Bush they wanted chaffs and dimples recounted (and I guess we forget ballots found in the trash that didn't get counted but every single vote was recounted ,and no Presidents victory was announced until they were )
But by the standard we use ,Trump won ,I accept that
But when my best friend has veins popping over the process of the college .
A few times I had to catch myself not to remind him who he was speaking to .
a few years ago I would have dotted that eye yelling at me like that ,But instead I changed the subject to his Mom who is in a nursing home ,she was a corrections officer for 20 yrs and raised 3 kids alone ,were they just going to leave her there ,,,,they are .

I told my daughter when she came to pick me up to forgive me if I smelled like Poo ,,that I had to pull my buddy out of the Presidents rear to have a visit with him .
I went to visit to get a break from so much BS ,and stepped into "Invasion of the body snatchers "
My calm ,reasonable best friend is yelling at me ,
"Yea ,He might be a lying asshole ,but he is my asshole
And you have to admit he has really good taste in good looking women too ,
Have you seen his daughter ? she is so hot ,,,

Yea ,,Donald said she was too ,"were she not his daughter he would do her"

So I want to stay away from this one ,,I do not want to beat the crap out of my best friend for yelling at me over politics ,,but I will only tolerate so much before I put him in check as to who he is yelling at ,he used to know better LOL
I have never seen anything do such a good job at dividing our country
I have seen families divided over this election ,
And more politics come from the pulpit than when Pat Robertson wanted to be President

Sadly I agree.. Reasoned debate of the issues and standing for genuine principles seems to have fallen way out of favor.@rckt148
