Back in Goldwater's era, sure you'd still probably disagree with a Republican, but you could have a rational discussion with them and they'd make valid points instead of just chanting USA USA USA and accusing anyone who doesn't agree with them of socialism.

Of course, back then, we were worried about the Russians so it was easier to unite together and ignore political differences. We have no major foreign threat to worry about now...so we fight with each other instead.

And that's stupid.

We're getting dumber, which is only going to make us dumber still. We now have lots of very passionate people living in propaganda bubbles. They're indoctrinating their children. I want to call it child abuse, but it's more like taking a steaming dump on America in 2050.

The only thing that educated people can do is try to limit our power outside of our borders. The moral thing to do if we're going to collapse, is to collapse back into ourselves and not take a lot of innocent countries with us.

This is why I wanted to vote in Trump! It would at least speed up the process and possibly mean we can start rebuilding much faster.
