Charles P Pierce: Why I'll Never Sympathize with Regretful Trump Voters

[Orrex]

21. They are fucking idiots and should be called out as fucking idiots

I don't care who it offends, I don't care who it alienates. If you find me 100 remorseful Trump voters, the breakdown will be something like:

40 who love what he's doing and support him blindly and with passion

30 who voted for him but don't want to admit it aloud, though they'll still vote Republican

25 who insist that they regret their vote but will absolutely vote Republican again in 2018 and 2020

5 who truly regret their vote and who honestly lean toward voting Democrat in 2018


So we can either spend the next two or four years kissing their asses in hope of snagging those five voters, or we can refocus on our own GOTV efforts to get more Democrats to the polls for the midterm & the next general election.
