It must be terrible living your life in fear of the other side being elected to the point where you're talking like yubba here.

Has it always been that way in the States, or is it just that the loudest voices are more easy to hear in the background noise of the internet?
It scares me that some people think that way, if I'm honest. I mean, no matter who you vote for they're still going to shaft you. They're politicians, it's what they do.
