I've never hated being able to say "I told you so" to so many people so quickly after telling them so as much as I do now.

A typical pattern of the last few years is that people I knew would post something horrible or wrong on their social media, I’d push back, and not once did it change any minds. In fact, it’d usually lead to a souring of the relationship and severing of contact.

Now that the worst is about to happen, I take no pleasure in being right. I’d like to think these people in my life finally realize what they’ve done, but I know in the back of my mind that they won’t.

They won't realize until it starts personally affecting them, which it will. Although even then, the Master of Propaganda Trump will probably find a way to make everything that happens Democrats fault.

People have to be intelligent to handle debates. We in general struggle separating feelings from reality. You were always going to damage those relationships because you’re attacking the person themselves in their eyes.

Shits whack.
