Sometimes I wonder if I live in the same universe as BoBers

From what I've seen on Facebook tonight:

"Bernie sold out to the devil herself..."
"Hillary will be 1000x worse than Trump..."
"Jill Stein can win this..."
"Bernie will be the next president since Hillary will be indicted..."

Am I living in a different universe than these people???? I can't wrap my head around it...someone please explain.

They could be trolls or Trump supporters. I doubt there are very many so-called BoBs left, and I wouldn't worry about them. Facebook is rife with weirdos of all stripes.

so we all have views that aren't based around the laws of causation. This is usually the cause of our mental distress. Anger and sorrow, in my current opinion, are signs that our perception failed to match reality.

Yeah look up the Facebook group, President Bernie Sanders. Conspiracy and worship mixed with republican talking pints about Hillary. Really thinking whoever runs it is a republican operative or willfully ignorant. I mean he/she said to listen to Fox News because they talk about rigging.

And disgusted with the BoBer's. What a disgrace and embarrassment, shouting down a civil rights leader like that (along with every other person who spoke). They have earned my contempt.
