Trump voters are not unique to history, they follow the footsteps of people who have done this.

Throughout history there have been people who knew something for sure and it simply was not true. Usually when this has happened to a large large number of people in the past, it led to great tragedies. The people who knew something for sure, that was not true, destroyed themselves.

It happened to the people of the south during the civil war. It happened to the German people under Hitler. It happened to people who followed cult leaders like Jim Jones.

People like the Trump voters are so sure, they stop looking for the truth, they refuse to recognize the truth when it is presented to them.

Trump voters have already caused great damage to our country and they may cause more damage. However, history tells us they will destroy themselves in the end. Trump voters will become infamous for all time.

They will start looking around the room they are in.

I guess we may not be around to see it. But once again that pesky history will be around.

Loser 45 was "elected" that people would die as a result...

Did not know how, but intuited it!

That's why my rage cry lasted so long that election night...

I knew because I knew Trump was a life long deranged grifter, who Trump voters believed was a savior. I knew that wasn't going to work. It was going to end badly in some way.
