I’m not angry. I’m so disappointed though in some people in my life who have recently shown their secret bigot side. I knew most of them were Republican and it’s never really been an issue, but this is different. They are deliberately ignoring a lot of really huge red flags just because they need to vote Republican, regardless of what our own family members could suffer (directly through policies Trump has made guarantees regarding) and other family members know this but they don’t care, because apparently Hillary the Liar lies and there’s emails and Benghazi, bitch! They are PROUD of what Trump has said. They are happy about what he wants for our country. It scares the crap out of me. Maybe I should be angry but mostly I feel sick. ---

(post shortened) Huge red flags? The FBI and Congressional hearings have proven that Hillary is a liar. More emails are being released on a regular basis. Who wants to work with a proven liar? Who wants to work for a proven liar? Who wants to hire a proven liar? Who want to elect a proven liar? ---

I voted 10. I’m angry that my stupid neighbors are going to vote for more taxes. ---

1. My anger is with voters, not congressmen though. We’ve basically shown across the board a complete inability to grasp political reality. Then we chalk the consequences of our own stupidity to “corruption” or whatever just to cement the fact we’ll never change. ---

Then we chalk the consequences of our own stupidity to “corruption” or whatever just to cement the fact we’ll never change. I’m angry at voters and congressmen. Congressmen have perfected operating the political money machine. And voters keep voting them back in. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/are-you-angry-political-views/764483.md?page=2)
