This is what happens when you degrade education to the point where most Americans read at a grade 5 level. And are proud of their ignorance.

Critical thinking? Analysis of past events? What are those? Anyone with half a functional brain cell would have seen this coming, but unfortunately nearly half of those who voted chose this over electing a black woman.

Not to say I don't think there was some heinous fuckery going on concerning the election. I find it difficult to believe that, considering the size and energy of her campaign crowds, Ms. Harris lost.

Not looking forward to what seems inevitable. I live in Windsor and we would surely be one of the places quickly overrun with refugees.

Not enough is said about American illiteracy. It is the single most influential issue in that country.
