This is hardly a surprise to me, the campaign was chock to the BRIM with UTTER BULLSHIT planted in the mediasphere to raise fear, uncertainty, doubt... and yes, hate. One of the most annoying things, is that what if he WAS a Muslim? It SHOULDN'T MATTER, but Freedom or Religion gets lip service in the current national mood.
But that's the current political Standard issue dirty tricks. Say Anything, rumor, distortion, outright faslehood, just get it oyt there and raise the noise to signal and tie up the opposition refuting the allegations, while you bury the issues with noise and thunder significant of nothing.
But what has startled me is the willingness of so may people to eat a full stinking, steaming plate of bullshit and swallow it whole. And believe it with absolute conviction, and not trouble themselves to lift a finger to check any of it out... becuase they want to believe it.
And we're paying for it now, witness the rise in political hysteria and violent incidents.
It blows the mind.
Not to mention disappointing... and terrifying. Over a quarter of my fellow citizens would appear to be frakkin' MORONS. And I am not too comfortable about the next quarter...
