I can never trust another Republican that voted for Trump.

[kentuck]

To me, they hate my country. They hate America.

It makes me sad to see what they have done. Most do not see anything but good from Trump. I do not see anything but bad.

How can such a large number of people be so cruel and so ignorant of what is happening under their noses.

It's going to take a long time for us to heal ourselves, in my opinion.

[Walleye]

1. And they stand with our lifelong enemy, Russia. How can they be so dumb?

[Irish_Dem]

2. A very ugly, nasty, ruthless group of people.

Stupid too for deliberately destroying the country they live in.

I will never forgive them.

[RandomNumbers]

3. Interesting conversation I had with a Republican neighbor.

I could almost see the $$$ gleaming in his eyes.

He is retired and has time to play the stock market. He was replaying the Faux Nooz line re Iran but we somehow got on the topic of stocks and how much money he is making playing the market. (It wasn't a long conversation, I was about to be late for work so I was just trying to get intel on WTF he is thinking, without giving much back. Yikes.)

Someone like this will NEVER see, nor care, about the human cost of the TSF regime. (and oh btw he is 'Catholic' and goes to 'church' every Sunday.)

[Captain Zero]

4. Yeah. Feels like I'm just constantly SMDH.

All they've really done is show us how much ignorance and incompetence we have to live with.

[Katinfl]

5. I think they are just plain ignorant and stupid. They live in their Fox News world and know no better.

Most don’t even care.

I don’t talk politics with my trumper sister but yesterday she said she was watching something about the Strait of Hormuz. I assume it was Fox, then she asks me what I thought about it. Told her what I thought and it went right over her head. She had no idea about the JCPOA. Never heard of it. This is just one instance, but I rest my case.

You can’t fix stupid.

[Midnight Writer]

6. It's a damn shame. People I have known all my life, people I have looked up to, even people I have loved.

The veneer has been stripped away and the ugliness revealed.

I can never see them in the same light again.

It is hard to even talk to them without cringing.

[biophile]

7. I have family members who were/are MAGA

To me they are dead. And once they are actually dead, I don’t care. No response other than “One less vote for fascism.”

[RockRaven]

8. There are two types of people who voted for The Dotard: the irredeemably stupid and grossly immoral.

And, yeah, you shouldn't trust either type.

[Tom Rinaldo]

9. Hypothetically, I can conceive of keeping an open mind toward a Republican who supported Trump before Jan.6

Assuming, of course, that they unwaveringly turned against him from that point on. Some people legitimately evolve once their eyes become open to reality. But there absolutely could be no hiding from the truth from that day forward.

[aeromanKC]

10. The first time I can give them a pass for buying into the 30 year smear campaign of the Clinton's, BUT...

after seeing with their own eyes the person he is and the damage that he did and promised to do again and they still voted for Trump the 2nd and 3rd time, NO WAY!! I agree 100% with the OP!!

[Grim Chieftain]

11. Any family or friends who supported Trump in the primary

hit the dust bin ages ago. They are toxic, stupid, unethical and have no place in my life.

[usonian]

12. Trump is the personification of their own desire to project their own weaknesses, fears and failures onto others.

The hate for others is actually hate for oneself, projected.

A strong person lifts others up.
A weak person seeks to cut others down to their low life-state.

Check out the positive and negative leaders you see in politics, work, life and even in religion.

That is why they portray Jesus as an evil monster, to "legitimize" their cult gospel of hate and lies.

How should one feel about these cult members? They joined voluntarily. They spread the lies and hate. They will not turn from them. Denial is trait number one.

They want to find out the hard way.
Speaking of which:



Harboring anger is like swallowing poison and expecting the other person to die.
The Buddha.

[Joinfortmill]

13. Certain types of people like to follow Big Bad Daddy

[hamsterjill]

14. I cut them all off in 2016.

Have not regretted it. I am fundamentally different and I refuse to apologize for not wanting to associate with assholes.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

15. They love America...

... they just hate most of the people who live here.

[Emile]

16. You would have thought after orchestrating an

insurrection to overthrow our government would have opened their eyes.

[Martin Eden]

17. They hate people in America who aren't like them

They love a White Nationalist America cleansed of brown immigrants, blacks aren't uppity, gays stay in the closet, and women obey the patriarchy.

They claim to be patriots, but will shred our Constitution to suit their agenda.

They call it "Christian" nationalism, but that is a cloak of religiosity to mask their evil and gaslight the rubes.

[Billsdaughter]

19. Exactly on point. They are xenophobic and

they will vote the exact same way again and again. They fear and loathe anyone who is not white and evangelical. This ilk includes a majority of Mormon LDS/FLDS defying the tenets of their own religion.

18. I have a friend at work who supported Trump

through three elections. Before the 2024 election I was in a zoom meeting with him and another Trumper. Their take was they hoped Trump would get elected so he could set things right that had been so screwed up under President Biden. They acknowledged that I probably didn't feel that way. I avoid political discussions because of 1) how strongly I feel about the stupidity of their positions and 2) being afraid of not being able to constrain voicing my thoughts once I get started, so I just said I hoped he didn't win. Fast forward to April 9th, 2026. I was in a zoom meeting with this same coworker and out of the blue he said:

XXXXXXXXXX, Apr 9, 1:57 PM
I'm voting democrat in the midterms because it doesn't matter I want them to burn it all down and impeach Trump
Crazy huh

You, Apr 9, 1:59 PM
Yes, I wasn't going to say anything because I value our friendship.
Your family has a lot on the line.
I've thought about that a lot.

XXXXXXXXXX, Apr 9, 2:00 PM
Thankfully, YYYYYYYYYY's position keeps her at Pendleton, even when her unit gets deployed.... so far. 🤞🏻
ZZZZZZZZZZ didn't re-up

You, Apr 9, 2:02 PM
Good.

XXXXXXXXXX, Apr 9, 2:03 PM
He did join the Kansas National Guard but who knows if they'll get sent anywhere. He got a job at USPS fixing their vehicles and equipment.
He works at their main repair hub in Topeka

You, Apr 9, 2:03 PM
good for him.
The national guard might be deployed to protect ICE anywhere in the US.

XXXXXXXXXX, Apr 9, 2:04 PM
ICE isn't happening.... another Trump TACO lol
And even if he does get deployed internally it's a lot better than getting deployed to the sh!t hole that we (and a certain other country) created in the ME
The country that SHALL NOT BE NAMED! lol


This is quite a change in attitude from him. I don't know if he'll follow through with voting Democratic or not but wow, I never thought he would turn on Trump judging how firmly his lips were planted on Trump's ass in 2024. But hey, if he can turn on the Republican party, any of them can.

[H2O Man]

20. Recommended.

I never have trusted any republican, at any level, who has voted for the felon. I have a casual friend who is now retired, after serving in state government. He served in the manner of what we once knew as a "Rockefeller republican." He was helpful in assisting Chief Waterman and I in preserving an ancient Iroquois burial ground when a construction company owner wanted to mine it for gravel. and helped me get people moved off sites contaminiated by toxic industrial waste. He knows the president is an ass clown, and refused to vote for him. But his type is rare.

As far as citizens who previously voted for the felon, but now recognize that was an error, I can forgive them. But trust? I have no reason to trust them.
