I Think I Might Vomit

It’s unclear how I’ve made it this far. With less than 30 days to the election, I can no longer bare witness to people’s political opinions. I enjoy Facebook for pictures of cats and memes, but I’m to the point where I may unfriend all of my friends and be friendless. They are all arguing over candidates. They are all being mean.

When did we become these people, so angry and mean? When did bullying become the standard norm and acceptable? When did we become so full of hate? When did the election become about bashing opposed to political debate?

My fear is that it will only get worse after the election, and it will be all I ever see. I want to detach myself from it. Hide in my house, in this tiny little town, and never leave. I for one can’t take it anymore. Clinton and Trump aren’t the problem. We all are Clinton and Trump. We the people only have ourselves to blame and it’s far time we change.
