Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsDear Trump supporters: I have a confession to make.
I didn't really have a problem with Trump.
I just voted for Joe Biden to "shake things up".
If that sounds stupid to you, imagine how stupid you sounded to us back in 2016 when you told us that's why you voted for Trump.
Feeling pretty shaken now?...

(6,496 posts)and not shake things up. That's why I voted for him. If I was into making the US hell on Earth, then I would have voted for Trump.

By God, 'shake things up' has got to be one of the most bone-stupid things any one ever said in the history of stupid things...

My preference would be repugs and tRump, gone forever. The GOP, but a distant memory.
My preference is A.O.C. at the helm, when she is 35, or thereabouts.
I am tired of living in a shithole country.
I am tired of being told that I can't have anything that the majority in this country support.
I am tired of the lies, regardless of the origin.
Status Quo is not good enough. I want better, and it better come soon. Damn Soon!
