I think you have major issues with relating to other people if you’re throwing around words like idiot while expecting us to take you seriously. You’re being honest right now, and it makes me think your views are un-American, and it makes me think that you don’t understand the Constitution at all. It makes me feel that we do not have shared values or common cause. I don’t know why you think that this kind of thinking is what the US needs more of, especially to get “back on track” whatever that might mean.

I will not allow you to limit my franchise or that of any other citizen, so help me. Your comment is bad and you should feel bad.

The ditch? You're alive in the greatest year in the entirety of human history to be alive.
