He said he is concerned about folks who have focused their entire life's energy on the dislike of the president. I am equally concerned about folks who have focused their entire life's energy on the like of the president. Indeed treating stupid is difficult because they are absolutely unquestionably correct to themselves. As they say, great minds think alike but idiots rarely differ.

Personally I would prefer to ditch both political parties for a science based politics where all policies are tested or testable and the goal is the increase of the HDI, GDPPP, and decrease of the environmental impact. It really shouldn't matter which political philosophy a policy comes from if it literally works to improve the lives of the people and the wellbeing of the society, similarly if it doesn't work then let's stop doing that.
