What frightens me

[IHaveNoName]

Yes, I'm worried about the 2 months of hell we'll be put through after the election. I'm hopeful that the congressional investigations (both in the House AND Senate) will help out, early next year.

But what really frightens me is the knowledge that even after he loses, there will still have been around 50,000,000 of my Fellow Americans who voted for him, even knowing that he was a liar, cheat, bigoted fascist. And many will be just as happy to vote for another incarnation of hate, because they themselves are just as hateful.

I don't like thinking that my neighbors are so heartless.

1. They are without souls

I will go to my grave saying - it wasn't Trump.

It was the people who voted for him.
Their collaboration.
Their cruelty.
Their disregard for women being maliciously sterilized against their will.
545 children whose parents cannot be found.
Concentration Camps for those who need help and safety in America.
Their racial prejudice.
Their religious bigotry.
Their turning their heads away . . . .

Just remember - IF they wake up they will say "I didn't know".

They knew, they believed, they loved the actions.

Don't let the bastards off the hook.

9. Spot on! It's the people who voted for him, and continue to support him, and the entire

republican elected sewer that enabled him.

12. The enablers need to be held accountable, for sure

I can almost forgive people who voted for him in 2016. While it was obvious he was a liar, cheat and all-around ridiculous human being, I don't think most people would have believed the depths to which he sank. They were just hoping to shake things up, or hated Hillary, or were blinded by his charisma.

But now, 4 years later, the same cannot be said. Those that continue to support him, after all the atrocities and his complete bungling of nearly every part of the job, THOSE are the ones that deserve our contempt.

18. I will

Never rub shoulders with someone who votes for him.

Shame on them.

14. I hope you don't mind my appropriation of your post

If so I will delete, but it succinctly captured my position.

17. Amen

Do what you need to do.

2. I saw a bit of Lincoln Project TV online

They were predicting the orange puss pocket will go crazy with executive orders. I think that’s likely. I’m trying not to think much about what his minions might do.

3. Totally agree.

I remember the first day after he was declared victorious in 2016. Everywhere I went, I looked long and hard at people trying to figure out who it could be that would vote for such a piece of trash. How could there be so many people that would do that? It revealed a different America than I thought we were. It made me look at people differently than ever before.

11. HRC was 100% correct; 40% of Red Don's voters are lost souls or people who don't believe in western

... democracies or societal diversity.

A good portion of those people ... THINK ... they do believe in action they don't because of a myriad of reasons.

The other 60% are single sourced people who are convinced they're informed or who can't trust reasonable credible sources of info like ... science.

We're good, we get rid of FAUX News or do a real time fact check consortium we can do something about at least the later of the Republican base.

16. Same here. I remember that first year under Trump

shopping around three in the morning at my 24 hour Walmart to avoid the company of people I knew had voted for Trump, feeling like a stranger in a strange land. But instead of looking at them and wondering, I was worrying they could somehow look at me and know I wasn't one of "them."

4. K&R, Trump will control MINIMUM 5% of kGOP voters per county nationwide who are True Believers and

... don't mind being in a cult.

Trump is ... NOT ... going away unless corporately people can make MAGA like Nazi

5. He sure has...

He sure has ripped off the glittering mask of our assumptions about many of our fellow Americans. We seem to have far more people out there with a hateful, Fascist mentality than was obvious. In a way, you could say that DJT reflects their image as if they were looking in a mirror and they like that.

However, there has been no real emphasis on critical thinking, reason, logic, etc., so the underlying anti-intellectualism contributes to that and people can be far more prone to the mother of all biases: the confirmation bias.

It seems that the allure of media and entertainment has been a containment field and, as Baudrillard called it, a Simulation.

The medium is the massage, (message).

7. And that's just it, really.

I think you hit it on the head, it's unmasked a portion of society that we always may have assumed to be there, but our sense of complacency has allowed us to ignore. Bigots have always existed. Misogynists, too, and the unfeeling. I just think I preferred when I was a naive fool who thought they were a very small minority. Now I know that they are a much LARGER minority than I thought, and that scares me.

10. Yes...

The proportion of them is truly alarming.

6. I have been thinking about the transition for a long time

I can't begin to fathom what the incoming staff will find. And if "nothing" is found, it's because a lot of information is being/will be destroyed.

I can just see the outgoing staff meeting with the incoming staff... the incoming staff will be told, "we weren't working on anything other than re-election."

13. That, and spiders.

And I'd be willing to face a whole lot of big, hairy spiders if it could make Trump to resign on Nov. 4 and save us from the chaos he could create.

What I worry is that Putin will promise Trump to cover his debts in exchange for making a huge mess on the way out the door.
