    They didn’t vote for him so much as choose something other than the opposite party. In a first past the post voting system there is only the illusion of choice, it will always devolve into a duopoly.

    The man who publicly lied on average 20 times a day even when fact checked and told he was wrong doubled down and embraced the lies, lied again?! Shocked, I say. I’m shocked! /s.

    And guess what? They’ll still blame the Democrats and do 0 actual research into what the problems are and/ or how to solve them…

      Mine usually stops at “I voted Republican” because that individual is clearly not aware enough to be considered a sentient being.

    Yeah. Duh. The Republicans do that every time. Trump wasn’t the first and he won’t be the last. They’ve successfully tricked half of America to care more about what genitals the person in the stall next to you has than whether your kids will survive to their 50s.

      He could be the last, most of his policies are the type of shit that could collapse the federal government. Frankly speaking we are mirroring the Soviets disturbingly closely, one of the few upsides is that I dont think there will be a Russia equivalent.

    it’s all ‘ok’ with them, as long as he hurts those blacks and gays in the city and the dreadfully horrible liberals that wanna help everybody and the planet.

      This is the truth. The point of singling out minorities for the harshest policy is to make their white supporters happier and quieter about being ducked a little less roughly.

    They’re either voting for the person with the R or the D next to their name. Policies don’t actually matter.
