With the help of gerrymandering , this time it seems like the urban areas were overridden by the rural . I saw some one on Facebook happily posting about how we beat the cities the day after the election . I really don ' t understand the us vs them mentality sometimes . We all have to live here . <| sep |> Yep . I find it really strange how people bash Trump yet defend Hillary with two sides of the same stick . Political viewpoints aside , those two had an insane amount in common . Many of the negative things you could say about one applied to the other just as well . Both of these candidates were horrible people and neither had any business being president . But let ' s be real politics in this country has devolved to the point that nobody cares about character or intrinsic values anymore . They only care about their own pet causes in the most selfish way possible . Opeds from writers like this one simply pick on the other side ' s character as a way to convince themselves that they stood on the high ground since they voted for the other horrible choice .
