30. They will NEVER apologize
Fri Oct 13, 2017, 09:57 AM
Oct 2017

because they think they were right. Susan Sarandon was a 3rd party voter who "did not vote with her vagina" and who called Hillary Clinton "more dangerous" than Trump. This is the typical mindset of those voters. Some of them are actually GLAD that Dump is fucking up so badly...that'll show the Clinton supporters!

Bastards.

If you care! If you want to be an ally! Start by showing good faith & apologize for your TRUMP vote Madam45for2923 Oct 2017 #14
Does it matter? fescuerescue Oct 2017 #15

Sure fescuerescue Oct 2017 #21
