"SNIP......

The New York Times talks to the supporters President Trump has already lost.

Best quote is from Judith Goines, who voted for Trump in 2016: “I think if he weren’t such an appalling human being, he would make a great president, because I think what this country needs is somebody who isn’t a politician… I’m ashamed to say that I’ve voted for him.”

Another from John Crilly: “What changed my mind? 120,000 deaths.”

.......SNIP"

“I thought, obviously he’s going to step it up and he’s going to have to change, he’s going to have to become more presidential,” he said. “But little did I know, he’s not. He got worse.”

Yeah, it's almost as if you got the candidate you voted for.


Then came the killing of Mr. Floyd. Mr. Pittman felt the president didn’t take it seriously: “It was kind of the last straw. It was like, this dude is just in it for himself. I thought he was supposed to be for the people.”

You actually thought he was for the people?! How the fuck did you manage to get that impression?


“He said he was going to, quote unquote, drain the swamp, and all he’s done is splashed around and rolled around in it,”

You don't say.
