The internet can be a wonderful tool to use to connect with people that are like-minded, that can help you with your problems or that can become your romantic partners in the future. There are numerous apps which can assist you with the latter. But if you have any experience with those apps, you realize that there are so many people who don’t share the same values as you and it turns out that you just wasted your time getting to know a person with whom you can’t see yourself.

But after some time, you find some tricks and control questions that immediately reveal if the conversation is worth continuing. TikToker Amanda N went viral with 9 million views for sharing her method of asking the other person to tell their most controversial opinion and showing their answers. Other TikTokers joined the trend too and we found out that this simple question actually reveals a lot about a person.

Never trust a person that doesn't like animals. (Unless they have a verifiable bad experience with one, like being bitten. I guess they get a pass)

Or even better...Never trust a person, your animal doesn't like. Because I can think of a bunch of 'not-so-nice' people that like animals or claim they do. But beware of a pet that usually has no trouble socializing with other people coming round. If your dog or cat tense up when someone wants to pet them...you should never ignore that.

To me that seems extremely narrow-minded that it must be cats specifically. If it was just animals in general, I'd get it. But like some people just don't like cats, for reasons that have nothing to do with their capability of "earning love and respect"

Because a cat doesn’t beg for love or listen to commands like a dog. It is more standoffish and requires a deeper bond.

I maintain that there's nothing wrong with not liking a certain animal. I don't like cats and there's nothing wrong with that. The only time it makes you a shitty person is if you treat that animal badly.

Eh, I've been bitten and scratched by cats, bitten by dogs, scratched by turtles, and pinched mercilessly by my hermit crabs (only one or two were problematic at any time though). And I still freaking LOVE animals! I know that so much of what they do is based on instinct and/or fear. Also, one of my cats can say "hello"... he learned by mimicking me.

You work with or live around animals, you will inevitably be scratched, bitten, peed on ,pooped on, bitten by fleas, stepped on,etc.....but usually not all on the same day. And it does not mean the animals don't love you. Accidents happen. But it also doesn't happen very frequently.

People ( especially men ) who hate cats, like actively hate and wouldn't mind harming one, often also have problems with women, ebcause cats do as they please, and they fight back. These people can't handle that, they like dogs for being obedient, and want their humans to be like that.

That isn't quite true for all cats. I have a cat that was abused as a young cat. She'll be fine one moment and then something will suddenly trigger her. She'll lash out at whatever is closest, which is sometimes me. I understand though. It wasn't her fault she was abused as a young cat.

Amanda N posted her video earlier this month and 9.4 million people were interested to hear what she said. And apparently people thought that her advice is really useful and is a time-saver when it comes to finding out if the conversation is worth continuing and if the person is worth their time because the video also has 1.4 million likes and has started a bit of a trend. 

Other people on TikTok started creating videos similar to Amanda’s using the same song in the background and showing what their matches on dating apps were saying were their most controversial opinions.

    We already do this in many instances. (think of how we address 'your honor' or 'officer' etc.) but it wouldn't be a terrible idea. From the italian point of view, though, this would prove to be problematic since everything has a gender randomly assigned.

    Personally I think we should just get rid of them both and NOT replace them with anything. For one even a new gender-neutral word can have its meaning twisted and userped by people with an agenda, just like ANY word technically can - just have to look at how the words "queer" and "gay" have had their meanings changed over the years to see an example of this. Queer used to mean 'out of the ordinary, unusual, strange, odd, different' (but not necessarily just in a negative way, it was used positively too as more of a statement of observation) and then it became a slur against non-straight/non-cis people and now it's being taken by non-straight/non-cis people and turned into something far more positive. Almost the exact same thing happened with "gay" - used to mean 'happy, joyous, full of spirit, energetic', then became a slur against non-straight/non-cis people, now has been taken by non-straight/non-cis people and turned into something more positive.

    Secondly, the whole reason these honorifics exist in the first place don't come from a positive place that we, in the 21st Century, should be continuing or trying to fill. The male version "Sir" was designed to make you feel automatically respectful and subservient to a "better man" than yourself and basically put you in your place - we don't want that sort of thing now so that needs to go and NOT be replaced. And the female versions "Miss, Mrs and Ms." were solely designed to publicly denote the marital status of a woman - well that's nobody's business but your own. There's no reason for them to exist any more so THOSE can also go and NOT be replaced. And as for it being "just" a "fancy greeting"? In a world trying to be MORE inclusive the very existence of such a thing would still cause exclusions because then it would be about who it's used on and who it isn't and when its used, unless it's used all the time which makes it no longer fancy and needing to exist.

    We can’t know if those people who were sharing the answers showed everything they received or just the ones that were actually controversial and borderline concerning, but even if they showed the worst messages they got, there were too many of them.

    Some of the answers were more lighthearted, like liking a specific movie or having an opinion about food. But others were highly political, racist or sexist, immediately indicating that person's core values.

I don't know where they get that idea from though. It's pretty obvious that advocates of gender equality are talking about social and legal equality, not physical.

    There are all kinds of physical differences between all humans. We are also all burdened with weaknesses and gifted with strengths. These things change as we live our lives. Why should this play any role in basic rights? Why should this matter to the idea of equality for all humans?

    The word "equal" here is unnecessary. There are physical and biological differences between male, female, intersex and numerous other sexes, but not one single individual fits in the same physical definition box neatly. There are female individuals who are larger and stronger than common males (I fit in that category) due to more natural testosterone. There are some males who are more "traditionally feminine" as well. And then there are more differences between gender expression, but the word "equality" is about offering proper opportunities, treatment and rights. There is literally no need for the word "equality" here unless this person really means that there are inferior and superior sexes which is questionable.

    Not economically feasible for the US. Even in areas with high population density, like New England, there are still quite large local areas where residents are few and far between, and it's a 45 minute drive to the market. No one is going to pay for miles and miles of railway to reach a community of 100 people, who live too far to walk anywhere.

    I agree to a point. There will always be very remote areas that need to be traveled to, or large things that need to be transported but I am 35 and dont have a drivers license. I live in a country where it just isnt nessesary. I can literally get anywhere on my bike or public transit and on the rare occasions I need a car( eg. moving or traveling to a remote location), I can rent a car for a day and have one of my friends do me a favour and drive and I'll pay for gas. Would it be faster sometimes to have a car? Sure. I travel about 35minutes to get to work and that would be 15minutes by car. But I dont work from the office every day and the say, 2-3hours I save every week just isnt worth the cost of upkeep, buying a car and a parking space monthly fee( very expensive). My mindset is one that many people in my country share and we have many cities built around bikes and public transport.

    Yeah, I'm a woman and I don't get the almost comically long nails some women have. The ones about as long as half their finger again. They're not practical for anything; you could literally have someone's eye out and fingernails on a keyboard is way more annoying than fingernails on a chalkboard - the latter is limited by the size of the board, you'd have a brief pause while they reposition their fingers. But on a keyboard they could theoretically be at it for 8 WHOLE HOURS (theoretically, because I'd have thrown their damn computer out the window before the first hour is up)

    I like the look of slightly long fake nails (not stupidly long). I've had them done a few times. Honestly they are a pain in the f*****g a**e. They get in your way and make some of the simplest tasks, more difficult. Plus you need to get them refilled every few weeks which ends up costing you a s**t load over time. Will never get them done again.

    Insecurity isn't gender-based. We *learn* to be insecure or confident. Yes, we are all born different, but being female doesn't inherently make someone insecure. That's bull$hit.

    Of course women are not inherently insecure. But insecurity in women is a HUGE problem at least in the US. Unfortunately, with the "girl power" junk of my son's youth and the unrealistic body images that men see, I think men have probably caught up. A country full of very self-conscious and insecure people (not all of them, of course, but far too many). So much bad sex or no sex going on nowadays due to this compared to in the past.

    I think the question and the answer are slightly at odds with each other. The question was trying to goad him into making a negative general statement about women, and what he has done is named two qualities that he doesn't like in a woman. So he's not saying that all women are insecure and have long fake nails, he's just saying that he doesn't like it when they do, which is a fair opinion.

    Finding the same sex attractive doesn't mean you're a bit gay. Same way finding a Bentley beautiful doesn't mean you'd buy it for yourself if you had the money.

    Agreed. You can be attracted to a person without excluding them on the basis of gender. It's almost like being attracted to a PERSON instead of their plumbing is somehow wrong...

    People are often skeptical towards the odds of finding a long-term relationship through dating apps. But both in real life and online, there are different people who you just wouldn’t get along with and people who you really click with.

    According to Imperial College Business School’s data, in the UK, 32 percent of relationships started between 2015 and 2019 originated online. This is quite a significant increase from 19 percent during the period recorded earlier between 2005 and 2014.

    Actual anarchism, though, is nothing like what you see in the movies. It's a leftist theory of laws without forced hierarchy. Instead, all citizens have the same influence and decisions are made directly in the community, not by any higher group. Community mutualism is a big part of it, as is decommodification and democratic workplaces. Rather than a large homogenized nation, self-governing autonomous communities can connect to share resources and transit through common ownership.

    As a cyclist who has been hit by a car, AND lived in the Netherlands, I agree that we can't safely co-exist on small roads - car drivers get impatient when they have to (god forbid) slow down to safely pass a cyclist. But it's not like they are suffering - they're just sitting there in a comfy seat, shaking their fist at someone who ALSO pays taxes for the same road.

    Depends on the country, here in the UK cyclists more often than not ignore the rules of the road, and historically they didn't pay any taxes towards the roads because it was all *supposed* to be funded by taxes that they don't pay like fuel tax and road tax.

    Worldwide, we inherited a road system used by carts pulled by animals. Without significant changes, several ton vehicles hurl along soft-skinned humans. A minimum trajectory deviation will result in death or crippling wounds. Statistically, with 1.2 billion vehicles circulating without a physical separation with cyclists and motorcyclists, contact it's going to occur. It's a scientific fact; inertia, mass, force, and kinetic energy do not know or respect human laws. Good intentions or moral restraint can't stop 2 tons of steel.

Also had someone who was in the left turn lane, suddenly pulled to the right lane in front of the bike lane and the bicyclists when the light turned green. Not all bicyclists are breaking traffic rules, but some drivers are sure as hell ignoring them.

    For me it depends what kind of cyclist they are. If they cycle to work/school etc. they're never a problem. If they cycle purely for sport they're horrible. Here they ride almost as fast as cars, even in blind turns, which causes a lot of accidents and near-misses. They hardly ever watch out for anyone else and pass you super close. It pisses me off to no end that the cyclist in my city insist on using the crowded sidewalks for exercise instead of the countless park/forest trails that have been set up specifically for that purpose.

    Have I missed something here? This seems reasonable. You are not obliged to respond to everyone who might find you attractive, regardless of orientation. And they said "who you love" which sounds like they don't have a preoccupation so much with other people's sex lives

    I personally haven’t been hit on by someone of the same gender, but the other day I bumped into a girl at school and as I was walking away she called me pretty, I felt flattered honestly, but that is just a personal opinion. Perfectly normal to feel ‘weird’ if you don’t swing that way.

    The entire point of toppings is to get what you like, and let other people get what THEY like. "This is not okay and it is not pizza" is a dreadfully legalistic stance to take on a toppings-based food item. Doubly so if you're from the US, and especially if you lived through any of the dessert pizza offerings from the Hut. See the TED talk by Al Vernacchio [suggesting pizza over sports metaphors for adult activities].

    I think to an extent we have some free will. But if I wanted to stop paying taxes I couldn't and neither could you. I'm being forced to give against my supposed free will. It's true! There are many things we are forced to do that if we didn't. We would get in trouble or suffer some kind of punishment. There are a lot of things put into place that control us all. So free will is definitely questionable and something we all should discuss more. When you think about it, there are a lot of things going on that can be questioned if we truly do have free will.

    4 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    I had a debate about this that lasted hours, and in the end, we agreed that in theory, everything is predictable (no free will) but that the system of cause and effect is so complex that it is irrelevant, because we will never be able to fully comprehend it. So it all ends up being philosophical anyway. But saying free will exists is like saying god exists. It is not something there is any evidence for, but it is moot since people choose to believe in it or not.

    Stephanie Keith

    4 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    No, free will definitely exists. It's just that we don't really have it when you think about it. Taxes for example are informed. It should not be forced but it is. I'm sure plenty of people would like the choice to pay them or not. Yet we are all being forced against our will to pay. Even though we do not want to or can't afford it. It's not a question or whether free will exist. But more so if we truly have free will. I'd say no in a lot of cases, and some in others.

    Biologically incorrect, although the definition of "free will" is primarily philosophical rather than biological. Anyway, the ability to choose and perform actions based on your own will and evaluation is a trait that exists in virtually all lifeforms. Deterministic behaviour isn't a thing, animals for example (including humans) all function on the same basis and that's the ability to sense the world with their senses, process the environment with their intelligence and make choices based on their personal evaluation. If someone claims "men can't control their urges" or "(non-human) animals operate on instinct", run RUN RUN as fast as you can.

    yes it does. If you can't claim responsibility for your defeats or mistakes the reverse is true as well. Most people who deny free will, accept that as the consequence. The question of free will is just a matter of whether you can not-want what you do-want. Can you? can you stop wanting something? Maybe you can, but seldom. And if you do stop wanting something, it is usually because you grow up (e.g. you stop wanting cartoons, or candy), not because you chose to.

    Every one is attacking toxic masculinity; but no one ever mentions toxic femininity, which is just as bad. The severe paßive-agreßive behaviors, the manipulation games they play, the "it's ok for me to that, but if my man does that, there will be hell to pay", and the "I deserve to be treated equal" but when they are treated equal, they cry "how could you, I'm a woman", to name a few. For those that will bring up that women make leß than a man, stop talking about it and do something about it.

    Gender is a social and emotional concept (sex is the biological classification, and I think many people still struggle with the difference). As a result, no matter how many labels/boxes we create to try and capture everyone, there will still be people who struggle to fully identify as one of the limited number of options available. As a result, I find it difficult to identify any value in gender as a concept. I much prefer the approach of accepting that biological sex isn't an appropriate way of choosing to treat people differently and to try and treat everyone equally and without making any assumptions about what kind of genitalia they have, what they like to do with it, or it having any bearing on how they like to live as an individual person.

    Oh dear gods, as someone who studies ethology (behaviour or animals, humans included, in their natural habitats), zoology in general and has a lot of experience with this sort of stuff, I cannot put a big of an emphasis on this to explain how absolutely stupidly INCORRECT this is. This is unbelievably harmful, unethical, baseless and blatantly incorrect. There are many socio-economical reasons as to why specific nations with specific races score lower and that's because of bad social conditions they live in. Intelligence isn't even a f*****g scale, it's an extremely complex stat tree which allows different organisms (as well as individuals) to process things differently. Some organisms are specialised for specific processing while others surpass them in other aspects. Humans aren't "the most intelligent", let alone a freaking race of humans. I could write you pages upon pages on this and why this is utterly disgusting, this individual has just shown how uneducated they are.

    I think he should have said capitalism is ruining the world. Well what capitalism has turned into is ruining our lives. Capitalism very well may have been intended for good and for us all to be able to equally thrive. But that is not how it is or what it's become. Capitalism has become only a select few things financially. While other's are taken advantage of and exploited. Pretty much some people capitalizing off of many people. Whereas socialism is addressing that fact and wanting at least our basic needs as human beings to be spread equally and live comfortably.

    Poorly expressed, badly spelled, horrible grammar - you should block Alex. It's fine to have preferences, but body shaming is absolutely wrong - we HAVE to accept people the way they are rather than trying to make them change to meet our transient preferences. Alex is implying that he expects girls to change to meet HIS standards. That's never ok.

    I am going to be honest that I can understand being unsure about it. I do not condemn people for being unsure. However the people that are refusing it to try and make a political stance are only causing the pandemic to continue. Now that there's not full protection - the virus has the chance to mutate and become vaccination resistant. I can understand people being hesitant. I get it. However the Vaccine is going to save lives and people do need to get it so we can beat this thing. I'm just saying I can understand someone being nervous - especially with health issues or whatever. But not doing it for the reason of being some stupid martyr is pathetic

    Eugenics is the foundation on which racism and intolerance grows. The idea that someone is somehow genetically 'superior' is exactly what perpetuates hate. How about his - use science to search for CURES to benefit ALL of mankind. He does make a strong case not to have children (or a relationship) with him, though.

    Eugenics is only bad because it requires a perfect person/people to decide who should reproduce and who should not. And that doesn't exist, so it could never be implemented without ending up in Hitler territory to a greater or lesser extent. "Who decides?" having no good answer ruins a lot of otherwise good ideas.

    People rag on eugenics because the Nazi's took the idea and went to the friggin' moon. The basic idea of it is already something nature does with how animals select a breeding partner. People hear the word eugenics and automatically assume we're going to be euthanizing every child born with dark hair and eyes. Calm down, folks. It has its uses, like stopping Karen's from being born.

    The use of eugenics predates the Nazis and is a very unfortunate part of US history as well. It can’t be implemented ethically. No government can be trusted to decide who gets to have children, and forcible sterilization is inherently a huge human rights violation.

    Black Lives Matter - as long as you're fighting against racism not another race. Same with the feminism movement. Saw a post which sums it up: the enemy is racism, not another race; the enemy is sexism, not men (or women). I don't think the Black Lives Matter movement is racist, people literally just want racism and discrimination against black people to stop because people are dying

    Mandating the COVID vaccine is perfectly legal, established by legal precedent (Jacobson v Massachusetts). In the US, you cannot attend public school unless you've been vaccinated for measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, varicella, and several more.

    "I own firearms." So? "Mandating the vaccine is illegal" George. Freaking. Washington. mandated shots. And that's not even counting the list of shots you get to attend public school or in the military. "I agree it's a woman's right to make choices with her body." Cool. "Black Lives Matter is racist." False, but thanks for making your ignorance and insecurity immediately obvious. "Hate crimes need to have stronger consequences." Indeed, which is part of what *Black Lives Matter* is all about! 🙄 This goes back to the "White Moderate" that MLK spoke of that there's useless white people want/expect racism to go away on it's own and DON'T want actual effort to made to fight it.

    Nope. Besides the hypocrisy of pro-lifers not caring about *after* the child's born or preventative measures like birth control and legit sex education (the "abortion only" areas are INFAMOUSLY hotbeds of unwanted pregnancies and STIs compared to areas that teach more comprehensively,) there's arguments within that movement about what's "exceptional" or not. You have some that draw the line at rape and incest (which is considered "left" by their standards despite it still meaning a woman has to be *violated* before she has any right to her own body) and then you have the hard-liners that say "NO EXCEPTIONS WHATSOEVER!" so if a 13-year-old girl was raped, impregnated and the pregnancy was dangerous to her own life, they'd still say "Deal with it, God's will". And that's *not* even getting started on what "counts" as rape as guys like the late, NOT-great Todd Akin who echoed the pseudoscience that women can only get pregnant while consenting, thus it was s**t-shaming actual victims.

    Besides the obvious GLOBAL effect, it's funny that not only was he told EARLY about the virus and KNEW it was serious based on the phone calls he had, but also the fact that evangelicals (who would *blame* a Democrat president in the same situation and have before,) were claiming the virus was Former Guy's test/chance to prove his greatness... and instead he did the usual deny, deflect, blame, etc. until he got bored and gave up to simultaneously deny the effectiveness of vaccines and want credit for Operation Warp Speed just the same, so it's this double-talk from the cult to NOT want to take the vaccine (and harass/lecture people who do,) yet STILL want him to have credit for it anyway. 🙄

HS Musical (I believe there was a 2nd and 3rd sequel) is not worth going back to watch in my opinion. Basically a jock (Zac Efron) masking his inner creative side which comes bursting out in song. Pretty formulaic high school melodrama set to music.

    In the US, redlining is still a thing. Schools in predominantly black neighborhoods receive considerably less government funding than schools in predominantly white neighborhoods. Doctors and nurses are more apt to ignore complaints of pain from black patients, but treat pain for white patients. Racism is alive and well, unfortunately. It's just not politically correct to wave your racist flag around. Mostly.

    People are being segregated by race in schools. Every title I school in Florida is compromised of a very similar student demographic. About 70-80% black students, 10-25% Hispanic, about 10% white. And these are also the schools wherein a scarily large percentage of the population will never learn to read. Not for lack of trying, but bc our school system will not allow teachers to go back and teach a student how to read. Yes, I am a teacher, and I do work in a title I school. Yes, I am so sick of hearing the bs excuse that students are not segregated in public schools.

Plus if both people in the relationship cleaned and cooked maybe different nights or something it wouldnt be so much stress. But again if thats what you want to do then do it for sure if thats what you agree on then go ahead and do it, thats just my opinion

    "Gets pushed"? By.... admitting it exists? Wow. Soon we'll be pushing air by admitting it exists!

    By making it the main focus of everything. It gets treated like a superpower or the only character trait worth mentioning in the entertainment industry. We could use recent DC Superman comics as example: It's all about that Jon Kent (son of Clark) is bisexual and does romantic stuff - You know, exactly what people buy Superhero comics for.... Having homosexual figures in a story isn't wrong and adds depth to the character - Making it the main focus, sole reason for them to exist and their most powerful trait is just bad writting

    So he is a homophobe. Listen asshole, the LGBTQ community has always been there. Now they are finally able to live free. So shut it.

    He isn't wrong - the gay stuff that gets pushed everywhere is annoying. That's not to blame on the LGBQT community and the people, but the media doing it. The way the whole topic gets displayed feels like forced lecturing instead of entertainment. And if something flops because of bad story, bad writting or lacking interest they always blame "homophobes" for low sale numbers.

    Uh YEAH, he is, absolutely and it's the *exact* same energy as fragile white people who meltdown over Black stormtroopers, Black characters *being* Black as they actually were in the books, and that's not even touching on *real world* issues like systemic racism that entertainment is obviously related to. And no, those same fragile white/straight people make excuses for why the crap pandering to them like whitewashing tanks like how DeadlineHollywood kept searching for excuses for when "GitS" bombed. There's been WAY more of the stuff like that than the valid questions why something progressive didn't take off, so miss us *all* with that fragility.

    homophobia is indirectly proportional to security in sexuality. So the more homophobic you are, the less secure you are in your own sexuality. Therefore this guy definitely doesn't have balls. He's just a timid little insecure man.

    Besides how hawkish Kennedy was to begin with, Eisenhower specifically named/warned of it in his farewell address. And once again, it speaks volumes of Dunning-Kruger-type ignorance to sooner believe there was some sort of super-secret inside job instead of the obvious fact that it was carried about by terrorist exploiting obvious loopholes and getting lucky (ex. one of the hijackers was actually pulled over in MD for unrelated reasons) with the whole post-9/11 reaction on multiple levels further proving that ignorance and incompetence.

    The hijackers in the September 11 attacks were 19 men affiliated with the militant Islamist group al-Qaeda. They hailed from four countries; fifteen of them were citizens of Saudi Arabia, two were from the United Arab Emirates, one was from Lebanon, and one from Egypt.

    I would say that psychology is significantly less precise, but so is our understanding of the brain and that doesn't make neurology and pseudo-science. Also, history, anthropology and geography are humanities, not social sciences.

    Anthropology and history have a very strong presence in psychology since it is present in the study of each. Studying the culture of a society cannot happen without getting psychology involved. It was just never categorized as a science until the 1800's.

    If you look at animals and at native tribes more isolated, they show that there is an amount of "bullying" that has always existed in some form to either teach the animal/person how to better fit in with the group or to make them do their fair share. I don't agree with trying to tease someone or hurt someone for no reason but imco (in my controversial opinion) I do feel some people need to stop being sheltered and poked a bit bc when they leave their safe spaces there is no one there to protect you.

    My therapist and I disagreed on the subject of bullying. While I do not believe in bullying individuals for whatever slight you can imagine (don't like the way they walk, their haircut, their choice to go vegan), I do believe Social Bullying is a tool we've stopped using and society has suffered for it. By social Bullying I mean: Imagine a young guy named Bob in the neighborhood swindles his 90yr old neighbor out of his life savings, the entire rest of the neighborhood confronts Bob to verbally condemn his actions, the neighborhood reports his actions to authorities, the neighborhood then excludes Bob from EVERYTHING, neighborhood gatherings, putting Bob's trash cans out on collection day when he forgot, or even saying Hello to him on the street. Straight up ghosted by everyone in his community until he makes recompense for his actions. We don't do this enough anymore, and people have learned they can do whatever to whomever and unless the Courts get involved, no 'comeuppance'.

    1) Trumpers are so deluded from their own ignorance and what RW media (the *actual* fake news) has told them that they couldn't name 5 actual reasons why he's "the best" and actual interviews with them have backed it up by either claiming falsehoods or outright admitting "I don't know, but I like him". 2) The bubble has made them so out of touch with reality that they *cannot* get how truly hated he was/is to be voted out, losing the popular vote by an even wider margin than last time. 3) Said RW media and GOP are only going to continue to exploit this ignorance as they've done for decades only now with even more overt bigotry, cheating and desperation.
