“I have a difficult time believing that there are actually Americans who think that electing Al Franken would even be on the table. Stunning.”
Most Liberals I have talked to have no real interest in politics. They just want to either be popular with their friends or irritate some authority figure in their life.
Bingo, most liberals I know have a religious faith in “government” and believe that any anonymous left wing government will do the right thing on every issue affecting their lives. They become very angry and upset when confronted with facts, details, and human nature.
