In reply to the discussion: What is the right way to think about Trump voters? [View all]Moostache
(10,163 posts)They knowingly put a man in power who is objectively unfit to hold office at the city council or local school board level, let alone in the White House. They voted for a dangerous con man and bully because they are collectively terrified of the unknown future, racists, bigots and slime who prefer prevarication and pandering to truth and consequences.
They own him.
His braggadocio.
His bluster.
His buffoonery.
His ham-fisted 'diplomacy'.
His lies.
His asinine statements and his "tweets"
They own it all and I have no intention of EVER allowing them to forget it.
As soon as things start going south in January, I have EVERY intention of telling them "I told you so" as loudly and as often as opportunity allows.
This country is on the road to being an international pariah in that moron's first 100 days. He is insulting diplomats, picking fights with China, cozying up to Russia and all of this BEFORE he takes the oath of office that he will IMMEDIATELY be in violation of the second he finishes the words.
If anyone voted for Trump and it was not a stolen vote through mistabulation or fraud, their names should be recorded and cataloged so that their family surnames can carry the stain upon them for generations to come.
By the way, I am not even remotely kidding or being sarcastic...this are people who need to own their decision and own the consequences that it will have for the planet and this nation. It was not hyperbole to say that man was an existential threat to the republic during the campaign, and absolutely NOTHING has changed since then.
