The trump voters might as well elect mass shooters to congress.

What the fuck is the difference. Only the trump voters can stop mass shootings and they refuse to do it. That's the truth. Trump voters, Republican voters, do not hold their politicians accountable for anything and that is why our country is completely fucked up.

7. They DO hold their politicians accountable. Their politicians are doing what their voters want.

Look at all of the Repuke pols who crossed TFG, however minimally, and were driven out of office (often but not always by reading the writing on the wall and not even running again).

The problem we are facing isn't Repuke politicians failing to do what Trump voters want. It is so much worse and harder to fix. The problem we are facing is many tens of millions of sick fuck American citizens who vote Republican and want things to be this way.

They tell them to be afraid and then fill them with fear. They’re getting exactly what they’ve been taught to expect.

9. We elect potential mass shooters to Congress. Why else do they try to sneak guns into Congress?

Or refuse to comply with security measures?

That behavior is Red Flag in my book.
