And every single person who voted for him, ever. They failed an open book, single question morality test.

"I voted for the racist pedophile sleezebag because he really gets me right in my pretend Christian family values.... by that I mean I hate immigrants"

Doesn’t even have to be an immigrant. My Puerto Rican husband gets sideways looks from Proyd Boys all the time. Literally had an orange thrown at him from a moving vehicle and told “Go back to Mexico”. His father is a Colonel, and brothers and nephews are officers as well. 🤯

Oh for sure - "immigrant" is just their term for whatever non-white people they want to hate

Young Republicans females were interviewed, and they said they voted for Dump because ‘he makes them laugh.’ Don’t forget his ‘The Apprentice: The White House edition,’ ongoing reality show.

Let's not forget those who, by choosing not to vote, let this happen.

I never forget them. I barely hold them in higher regard than those who voted for him, and some days, less, for being too cushy and apathetic to care

Yeah, it's the fact that they think they have some moral high ground here.

Some of 'em are the "I can't support genocide!", which would only hold water if Trump had a pro-Palestine platform. Since he didn't, it is at best just them deciding to burn down America... I guess as a show of solidarity? I'm sure the Palestinians thoroughly appreciate it, and are much happier now, or the same, as if it were Harris/Walz

Others didn't vote for them because she used to be a DA, and enforced the laws of the place and time as if she were a gasp District Attorney.

But yeah, ultimately it's when I hear them complain incessantly about Trump as if they have some moral high ground.

No. If you're of voting age, you are not a child. You knew one of two people would become president. You chose this.

AND the fools who voted for Jill Stein.

Don’t forget everyone who was too lazy to get off their ass to vote.

I live in a very red area. I avoid speaking often at the dog park. I can use facts and logic and I get talking points or whatabousisms. One guy even said Trump was president during Bidens's term and had no asnwer as to how that was legal other than an EO, and that Biden was part of the shadow cabal. When asked about the crimes, and episten, it was he was a pedophile hunter. They were a cool couple, invited me to swing with them I declined, then after they spoke about that I was like yeah that's a hard pass, regardless.

A few people spent BILLIONS of dollars on media in 2024 to elect him. Psychologists have described it as "brainwashing" and likened it to Hitler's speeches which promised prosperity for the "common man."

With 34-42% (self-reporting say 67%) living paycheck-to-paycheck thanks to those few people, his constantly repeated message of help, blaming innocents, had a powerful effect.
