        38.3% of voters.

        Not 38.3% of the population.

        Pretty significant difference.

        Every place in the world has douchebags in it. I’m sure that the share of douchebags even among California voters is actually much larger than 38.3%, once you figure in the assholes who voted for someone else beside Trump (not to mention the people who didn’t vote at all). And you guys have your own Trump, Poilievre. Every country has assholes. Don’t forget that.

          I don’t understand why the north won and still allowed the Confederate flag, war criminals to be heroes name bases after war criminals. It boogles my mind and is probably one of the reasons America is where it is. The north never actually won just dominated for awhile.

            It is because we generally don’t obsess about the south like they obsess about themselves and the north.

            We have shit to do.

            Like an unemployed drunk staying at home, screaming at the TV and beating his wife because their life didn’t turn out well.

            While we have reasons not to be so trash.
