impeached him, but the whole time I'm thinking, dammit Bill, what the hell were you thinking!? That feeling for some republicans has to be off the charts. Trump cult worshipping working class have no idea that they could have had so much more of what they want if he was even half-way competent.
As much as they hated Obama, we never had to deal with daily humiliation like Trump worshippers. Trump brings it all on with his constant tweets and every time he opens his mouth. My FB feed is brutal on Trump and we have a few hard core faithful that have to try and polish Trumps turds almost every day! It's now gotten to where they mostly get laughed at, and a few gave up. It could be it finally sunk in how bad the screwed up, and they just can't take it any more.
We had it easy with Obama. It was a handful of things like the 57 states gaff that were annoying for a couple days.

(7,947 posts)So "57 states" we knew was just a glitch, or maybe some calculation we didn't know (states plus DC plus territories or something).
As much glee as that gave his enemies, none of us had to worry that it was a sign that he was stupid or didn't know American geography.
Trump-supporting GOPers-- not the cult, but the Ted Cruzes and Rubios who are in it for the power-- hear what Trump says and see what he does and they KNOW it's not a glitch-- that he really is ignorant and narcissic and crude.
The few non-cultist Trump voters I know-- the cynical power-lovers-- are getting more open in their cynicism-- "Sure, I despise him, but the stock market! Tax cuts!"
I always ask, "Don't you think you would have gotten exactly that from any other Republican? Jeb Bush? Chris Christie? So why not support someone who is standard GOP rather than him?"
And they say they have no choice, he's the candidate...
Yesterday I said rather sympathetically that the best thing probably for them would be to lose big in November so that "Trumpism" is driven out of the party and they get their party back from the louts.
I didn't convince this couple to vote for Biden, but at least the idea of not voting for Trump is in their heads.

(52,183 posts)and women and gay people running amok, being granted legitimacy all over the place. if you ask them, it was 8 years of insufferable hell. and the idea of following that up with a woman president, well, that was just too much.
remember, the "fair and balanced" people think foxnews' blatantly obvious right-wing bias is not so much to counter the supposed "liberal bias" in the news, but to counter the fact that gay characters are allowed in some tv sitcoms without being negatively portrayed.
have you talked to some of these people lately? they react to the word "diversity" like normal people react to the n-word.
the only thing they'll end up not liking about donnie is if he fails to stay in office. in the meanwhile, he's pushing straight white christian male supremacy every single day, and that's pretty much all they care about.

(9,117 posts)My opinion about electing presidents solidified in 2016. It isnt just picking the handsomest or most popular, but its about preserving the Constitution and picking a leader who can handle himself or herself as well as the country in a time of crisis.
Its going to take me a long time to forgive the fools who voted for Donald Trump.

(14,853 posts)I decided to look for the video that was played when DU was hacked on election day, and I found it on YouTube. I won't post the link, but the song that was played was called "Hold Back The Night" and should help others find it if they're curious about it.
It was uploaded before the DU hack, and the uploader wrote the he uploaded it again after YouTube had removed it from a different account called "Murdoch Murdoch", given credit for creating it. So I found that account, and it's Neo-Nazi. The "About" section even lists a website to buy their Neo-Nazi shirts and such.
Anyway, back to the account that uploaded it again, and where it can still be viewed...
I looked through the comments, and the more recent ones express regret that Trump wasn't their answer and they'll have to find another savior. Lol!
Sick pieces of shit!
