These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,... whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

No one is going to listen to your points if you come from a place of hatred.

72 million Trump voters embraced the hatred Trump spewed. Literally look at what you're saying and apply it to what happened the other day and decide yourself if you're wrong or right.

72 million voters voted for Trump, that's not equivalent with embracing Trump's hatred. Trump's base is bigoted and hateful, but that doesn't mean every voter is. A lot of them seem clueless, by all accounts. I think a lot of them were just voting against the incumbent because they were upset about price gouging and inflation.
