The guardian reports on a sobering event in Washington DC.
US police have arrested a man wielding an assault rifle who entered a pizza restaurant that was the target of fake news reports it was operating a child abuse ring led by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her top campaign aide.
[...] The suspect entered the restaurant and pointed a gun at a restaurant employee, who fled and notified authorities, police said. The man then discharged the weapon inside the restaurant. There were no injuries.
[...] [Police] said the suspect during an interview with investigators revealed that he came to the establishment to "self-investigate" Pizzagate, the police statement said. Pizzagate is a baseless conspiracy, which falsely claims Clinton and her campaign chief John Podesta were running a child sex ring from the restaurant's backrooms.

You were far from alone in this [gallup.com]. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were both in the same league of being hated as Barry Goldwater and George McGovern. Doing some more digging, since Gallup started tracking this in 1956, this was the very first time that both party nominees had a net negative favorability rating - they were both hated more than they were loved, by substantial margins. And that was at the beginning of the general election. It got worse as the race wore on: By early November, both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton had approval ratings were around 40% favorable, 56% unfavorable.
They really both deserved to lose. And anyone who wasn't rooting for Team Democrat or Team Republican realized that.
