(46,699 posts)Republicans broadcast their own faults by projecting them onto their opponents. And the media is stupid enough to reinforce the deflectionary tactic.

(3,251 posts)Assuming the votes for Trump were even genuine to begin with.
It sure as hell wasn't about the economy or even the ACA. That meme has been debunked.

Of course, Trump was NEVER actually going to work on behalf of the suckers he conned into voting for him.
The question now is, how many of them will resist admitting they were duped into voting what they thought they were voting against.

(82,849 posts)Remind people of the alleged issues of the campaign (personal corruption, excessive coziness with Wall Street, mishandling classified information), and then point out how Trump is considerably worse than anything Clinton was accused of. Really? You were all concerned about Clinton's private e-mail server, the one that wasn't hacked, but you're just fine with Trump considering people like David Petraeus for his cabinet? Petraeus being the fellow who gave away America's military secrets to the woman he was cheating on his wife with.
