A bright, bright man, a prosecuting attorney, whose thoughts about where we are in this country at THIS moment... make me sad as hell..... because they're true.

Knowing ALL WE KNEW about Trump before this election, he still had his army of UNSERIOUS idiots who wanted the former FAKE business "Apprentice" 'genius' to lead our country.

How does that happen?

- No critical thinking

-too much Fox News

- and FAR too much tribalism.
