There are many people what if we knew better we would feel bad to know, however if we decide to loathe everyone who does not agree with us then we are going to live in a world worse than presently known. At some point we are going to have to realize that we have more in common than we have as differences. The one or two things that we want to feel separate us may at some point destroy us. We are better together than we are apart, we have to work together and understand each other and realize that we all have the same basic concerns.

I don't think all Trump supporters are "awful". I think many of htem just can't find it in themselves to ever admit they were wrong.

As Mark Twain said, "It is much easier to fool a man then it is to convince a man he has been fooled."

It is especially hard for those who want to frame the world all in black and white choices, hwere there are no nuances to right or wrong, but rigid differences between them.

What is truly awful is knowing you have family members who support the orange anus.

It's been a disheartening realization to see how many people I know and several I care for who are ignorant enough to be a part of the problem.

I am ashamed of the USA. When I travel abroad, and people ask where I'm from, I tell them I'm from Canada.

Hello

I've read, but cannot remember where, that 15% of the population are empathy challenged.

Awfulness seems to be pretty out in the open in these times of hatred and it is a worldwide thing. How sad. Why havnt we learnt from the past?

Yep. I didn't like realizing how many jerk/hate supporters that live and work in my neighborhood.

No, the really scary situation for watching who you say hello to is that old cartoon in which everybody, including all the mouth-breathing yahoos, is carrying firearms. The caption reads, "An armed society is a polite society". Yeah, right...

Exactly the same with Brexit! I'd always suspected it but Brexit (and Trump) was the confirmation!

It's really disheartening to realize so many have so little kindness and compassion. I recently attended a family funeral with the majority of the room being evangelical Trump voters. I felt covered in phony ick by the time I left.

You nailed that succinctly.

Yes, I get tired of being called a libtard, and go live in Canada.

Despondent over the knowledge that half of our country can not be my friends, ever.

It's such a depressing time!

I wouldnt say awful , but ya.. i actually assumed at one point we people were progressing.. becoming more enlightened.. and i mistakenly assumed it was the majority of us.. turns out they were just pretending to be politically correct.
