I could give you 50 reasons why Hillary is terrible and why I think it would have been crazy to vote for her. But despite that, I don't think that everyone who voted for her is stupid and I would not get in the face of anyone who voted for her. I may feel strongly that Hillary is terrible. I think she is dishonest and incompetent. When I weigh all of her good and bad qualities and compare them to all of of Trump's good and bad qualities, my opinion is that he would make a far better President than she would.

You obviously feel the opposite. I don't think that makes you stupid. You simply have a different opinion. I know plenty of smart people that voted for Hillary. I know plenty of smart people that voted for Trump. I know plenty of dumb people that voted for both of them. But to say that everyone who voted for Trump is an idiot is insane. It's a bigoted statement, just as it would be a bigoted statement if I said that everyone that voted for Hillary is an idiot.
Obama has accomplished exactly what he set out to accomplish 8 years ago. He has divided this country with hatred and vitriol, and the chasm created will never be filled. We are 2 Americas- we are locked in a battle between freedom and government.

People like Bob will never understand that they are the cause of their own discontentment. They look down at anyone that doesn't agree with their contrived socialist vision - He even goes so far as to admit his own intolerance, repeatedly.

And I'm all for it. I have no use for unity. I'm for freedom.
