Help

I know, I know...
Ridiculous, I have so much to say and no place to say it - that's what I keep telling myself anyway...

Who wants to hear what I have to say; who cares? I decided I'd try again to keep a record of all of the fleeting thoughts that I have, right now its armageddon 2016 - I mean election 2016!!

I would really like to have a conversation with someone who supports T because I honestly don't understand that person.  I used to be a conservative voter, used to be involved in a Christian community so I think I understand the 'typical' GOP voter but I don't get the T supporters.

Unless...we/they/I have become so accustomed to hearing the truth be denied and facts turned into opinion. That is one thing that kind of makes sense - if truth is not truth and facts are debatable then we can enter into a world where a person that has begun and failed in numerous business ventures, been sued for everything from harassment and discrimination to tax evasion, verbally abuses others and declared bankruptcy at least 5 times could even remotely be considered as a candidate to run this country.

Unlees...we/they/I have heard so much hate speech and listened to so many lies that this behavior and those that support it have become the norm.

Unless...we/they/I have been listening to decades of fear mongering from all aspects of the media: fear of the drugs, the blacks, the cops, the muslims - basically fear of the other...

Unless...we/they/I have been inundated with negative images of the 'other' candidate - one who has faults but has served the public well for over 30 years. One who has a proven record of good works and championing the rights of all while enduring decades of accusations and been the focus of millions of government dollars being spent trying to find a 'smoking gun' in order to prove alleged illegalities.  

I would like to talk with someone that can explain the discrepancy between a proclaimed stake in the christian values and morals of the nation and the acceptance of openly hostile behavior towards 'the other'

I truly do not understand...
