My friend Stephen posted the following thoughts from Valencia College Professor Michael Szalma:

I am appealing to moderates on each side of the spectrum, as only we can save this nation. The choice is no longer between Republicans and Democrats. The choice is now between pro-democracy and anti-democracy. This means that you may have to vote for a candidate from a political party you have never supported. So be it. When we are sick, we sometimes must take bitter medicine — in hopes that the medicine, in time, will work and restore us back to health and to our normal way of operating. It is that simple. It doesn’t matter if the candidate’s other policies are what you prefer. By supporting such a candidate, you are setting all of us on a dangerous path: the degradation of the very liberties and freedoms that such a candidate loudly proclaims she or he is “protecting.”

And then some individual named, Gene, posted his response:

“Yes lets Make America Great Again Trump 2024 .Yesssss.” 

And then in response to another commenter, Gene added:

“Stop smoking that crack cocaine and wake up to really  but regardless what you sayor think he WILL be your President  come very soon.When we take over the house watch a see what happens”

Yeah, I couldn’t help myself. I decided to respond to the troll:

Gene, how long have you been out of the country? So, our friend, Stephen, shares a post about how this election is about whether we really believe in democracy or whether we are just interested in “our team” winning and you respond with “yea Trump!”? It would appear that you are the one who has lost connection with reality. Sad. I hope you have a good life in Nicaragua. This isn’t a game. Mr. Trump got his shot and he lost and if you can’t “take it” that’s too bad. But that’s the way democracy works, we vote and “the leaders” concede to the will of the people. What a strange world we live in. Would that more rational voices were heard far louder than madmen with no clue and no connection with reality.
