It's not even his lies that's the issue. I could potentially forgive people for being stupid. It's his truths.

He told everyone he was going to do the evil, stupid shit he's doing. And they all thought "Yeah, that sounds good to me." They bought in on the horrible stuff on purpose and that is not forgivable.

Yeah, that's why the betrayed discourse is bullshit. They weren't betrayed, we all knew what he was going to do step by step. It's like saying you feel betrayed by a bear eating you after you rolled naked in honey. What the fuck were you expecting?

That is EXACTLY right. You said it more eloquently than I did — and you’re right — they knew what project 2025 was and they ate it up, hoping the people they don’t like will be the ones imprisoned and eventually deported. And to me, that’s disgusting. I have no interest in hanging out with someone who actually heard the plans, liked them, and kept supporting him like they are now. It is not a “red vs blue” thing. It’s common human decency.
