Same. I also knew he would win in 2016 & everyone laughed at me. But the most disappointing Americans to me aren't even the ones who voted for him. They are the 10s of millions who couldn't be bothered to vote in 2024. They stayed home - completely oblivious or indifferent to what was at stake.

How can any American believe Trump would be a good President when Repubs like Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, etc all criticize Trump as a "con man" or that he would destroy the Republican Party or that he was "a Pathological Liar" or that he was "America's Hitler"!!That's Republicans!!

No difference in the UK we have our own Trump in Farage and a good portion of the population believe his lies and ignore his history. Same playbook. The solution starts with education. Produce people who think clearly. Drop Religion from the curriculum and instead teach tolerance.

Last time it was 78 million. Sadly, I don't give this group the benefit of the doubt that they are simply intellectually impaired. They are evil. Fueled by hatred and/or greed, they gave us a pig in charge. They ought to be disenfranchised at least.

When I was still working, I had privileges at 10 hospitals in the south Flori-duh area. Without exception, every surgeon's lounge had a TV tuned to Fox "News". I'd estimate that 60% of the surgeon I knew were also tRump supporters. Some of them were rabid, foaming at the mouth supporters too.

Racists don’t think like normal people. Their brains are rotten from years of disinformation being fed to them by wealthy people trying to pick their pockets.

I'm still on "it's not normal to vote for a guy who brags about sexually assaulting women by grabbing them by their private parts." But then again, maybe I'm old fashioned and haven't moved on with the times.

Happy Hump Day Mountain Girl Don't forget to give credit where credit is due. tRump rewarded Fox News by giving 30+ of their entertainers' jobs heading federal agencies, including our military. Fox remains the most watched network on cable.

Does anyone understand cults. Peoples Temple led by Jim Jones. 900 dead by suicide. The Manson Family led by Charles Manson. Branch Davidians led by David Koresh in Waco, Texas. Heaven’s Gate -- Marshall Applewhite led 38 followers to commit mass suicide in San Diego.

When he came down those stairs all my Canadian friends thought it was going to be a joke. I told them, many many times, don’t laugh, Americans are stupid enough to vote for him. Lo and behold…twice as stupid as even I thought

As a Canadian, I knew it. My American ex-pat sister-in-law told me about it. What I am shocked by is the total absence of revolutionary tendencies by the centre to left-wing of America. Once MAGA stormed DC for the wrong reasons, it got etched into your minds that only the "other side" does that.

The worrying truth is that these millions of Americans aren't all ignorant. Some just didn't care. Many agreed with what he represents. They still do There is something rotten at the heart of that country that trump has just tapped into

Was it ignorance or racism and bigotry which drove Americans to elect him? A coalition of hate? For sure, the hatred that bonds them divided the country and placed the White Wizard on a the thrown of cruelty, brutality and mendacity.

Trump voters and Trump himself are simply not smart enough to understand how badly he is undermining our country for decades to come. This alone is going to be almost impossible to recover from. Other countries are dumping our record high debt. China and Japan. harvardgoldgroup.com/china-s-hist...

Nice quote. Anyone who has a golden elevator is clearly a tasteless moron - that was a red flag right there.

Most of them aren't ignorant of all that. They just don't care. Hell, many of them admire him because of the attributes listed above. As long as he keeps giving them permission to openly hate everyone they view as lesser, they'll continue to rabidly support him.

That is the biggest loss.of all. Knowing I cannot trust my fellow citizens and that the US will not be different enough in my lifetime. I want what I was sold.

Yeah Las Vegas knew better than to give him a gaming license due to his shitty business patterns. His crappy little hotel has no casino.

I did not know people I love were rabid fans of concentration camps as long as they get to pick the occupants. I also know now they never believed me or any women. Having to step away from many people in this cult of greed and hate is awful.

I saw earlier versions, I'm pretty sure the whole thing is just made up bullshit. This version has attached some guy's account on it, but I'm not going to bother to look it up. My bullshitometer has already gone off; who the fuck says 'i knew he would destroy America and I voted for him anyway'

Their ignorance is neither universal nor a valid excuse. These are deliberate choices, made possible by his normalization of indecency. He has drawn out the worst in people and created an atmosphere of acceptance that is devoid of socially acceptable-or even tolerable standards.
