She really loves him, I don't know why but my whole family loves the former president. They are truly wounded. They don't know how much better life is about to get.

(326 posts)when they looked at the children in cages who were separated from their parents? No disrespect, but I dont see how people can be so misguided given what kind of person Trump is.

(27,794 posts)How did she feel in 2016 when we were all so devastated? I had wanted Hillary to be president since 2008 and it was crushing. I don't mind giving sympathy where it's due, but it needs to be reciprocal.

(3,568 posts)Thanks for posting. I agree with him and it's depressing. I fear the contrition he talks about is not going to occur. The necessary morality just isn't there. The Presidency has changed but the people haven't, and they won't. Not in this lifetime. Like he said, this election wasn't about politics, it was about morality.
A thousand times this.

(152 posts)Im sick of seeing those Make Liberals Cry Trump 2020 hats and t-shirts. Fuck them all. They can wallow in their misery. I hope it truly sucks for them, and if this is most disappointed your mom ever is, she is doing pretty well.
A local cigar store I used to patronize held a deplorables party 4 years ago to celebrate the election of Trump. I would not go back into the place after that. I went in this morning, laid about $400 worth of cigars on counter, whipped out my AMEX card, and then asked the shop when he would be scheduling an event to celebrate the Biden Election. The owner looked at me with a puzzled expression and I reminded him about the party he held 4 years ago to celebrate the election of Trump. He got a little flustered and stood there with a scowl on his face. I put my card back in my wallet, left the cigars on the counter, and walked out of the store.
I feel bad about breaking the common-sense rule about not handling cigars that I ultimately did not purchase in the face of the pandemic. But the pandemic ended on Election Day Im told, so that probably wont be an issue for the dumbfuck.

(6,423 posts)You have to be hella poorly informed with no ability to spot BS to still be on Trump's side.
Their feelings are based on lies, so yeah telling them to cram it where the sun don't shine is fair?
