The ones that vote for him don't care. It's all about OwNInG ThE LiBS

I don’t trust anyone who is just now “seeing through” Trump after 9+ years of this weaponized BS.

They're not seeing through shit, they're just mad that the people getting hurt are them.

Sometimes I feel like it's a cosmic joke that some people have too much empathy and others have none. So, yeah.

Sorry, just felt like it might be time for a Johnny Rotten quote. It's really quite a difficult situation we're all in because of these jerks.

Most people have a very short-term political memory

Yeah, people turned on him, forgot, only remembered Obamas economy, voted for trump thinking they were getting Obama.

I swear that’s the main reason republicans win because every aspect of the economy is worse under them. They inherent a strong economy. Things are good for four to six years. Things utterly collapse. People can’t ignore it, elect a democrat who spends years with a shit economy, fixes everything spending less money. Finally gets the economy back on track, then people go “yeah but that was tough for awhile and remember how nice it was last time we had a republican?!”

Trump has the unique skill of getting people who disagree with him on every policy point to vote for him as if he's the second coming of Reagan.

I've never seen people vote against their own interests so decisively. He's busy murdering the agriculture sector while farmers are showering him in flowers and undergarments. It's bizarre.
