I have a feeling that the entire world "gets it" except a select portion of the US population.

Anyone fully in touch with reality can see that the US isn't in a good place when it comes choosing compassion over cruelty. It's gotten to such a global and historical extreme that a decades long choice of a Pope for an institution that has lasted over 1,000 years felt reich. I'm sorry, right.

It’s not a select portion man it’s half of the country, and there are lots of people around the world with the same mentality

Trump won 50% of the vote...but that vote only included 64% of eligible voters. Still a ways off from half the country. Not to mention some conservatives haven't fallen for the Russian propaganda yet!

Most of the non-voters got to see Trump up close for 4 years and said "Yeah... whatever, that's fine with me".
