Why? Because politicians are being mean to each other? This "meanness" is nothing knew. Hamilton started it in 1796 when he wrote, under a pen name, in the Gazette of the United States, that Thomas Jefferson was having an affair with one of his slaves and called Jefferson a coward. In that same election, Adams supporters also claimed that Jefferson’s election would result in a civil war, that he would free the slaves, and that he was an atheist. As for his supporters, they were “cut-throats who walk in rags and sleep amid filth and vermin.” In other words, Adams’s supporters thought that Jefferson partisans were part of the 47 percent. Ben Franklin's grandson, who was pro-Jefferson and ran the paper called Adams, "old, querulous, bald, blind, crippled, toothless." In the election of 1828, opponents of Jackson, claimed he was a cannibal after massacring over 500 Indians one evening, "the blood thirsty Jackson began again to show his cannibal propensities, by ordering his Bowman to dress a dozen of these Indian bodies for his breakfast, which he devoured without leaving even a fragment.” And you thought calling Obama a Muslim was beyond the pale.

The beginning of the end started with Obama being elected, proving that American idiots now outnumber those with common sense. Regardless of whoever wins in November, we are traveling into the era of American idiocracy.

Depends on who wins the election.
Trump=beginning of the end.
Hilary=beginning of the end.
Oh wait, I guess it doesn't depend on who wins since THEY BOTH WANT AMERICA DEAD!
