It took you this fucking long to realize he was a fucking racist?
Not to mention, that's your line!?
Not the trolling, the threats to other sovereign nations, the plunging economy, the loss of trust in the USA, the page after page of him raping children, the lies, the use of federal forces on citizens... It's the racism that put you over the edge?
Fuck this guy. He'll probably vote R down the ballot in November.
It's a cult. They can't just think their way out.
I say this often as a Canadian, "No one ever accused Americans of being smart".
These people live in a bubble. That’s their line because they don’t see that other stuff, or when they do they see it through a very specific framing.
They were manipulated. We should be thrilled when they wake up, not berating them for not waking up sooner.
If I applied that argument to drunk drivers you'd be as forgiving ?
That aside, we're all manipulated, it's relegions resson de entre for example, but why wern't they manipulated by people kindness, togetherness etc ? 80% literally dont care about good and evil.

Sure. At an arms length.
Just because a lot of people have come out to say they regret their vote let's see what these same people do in November. If they just carry on with the status quo of "Yeah, I know I regret voting for Trump two years ago, but I'll still vote for the party that supports him", they should not be forgiven. We should not be thrilled they "woke up" because they didn't. Their tiny peanut brain had a quick surge of reality where Trump might be a bigoted piece of shit but they'll still gleefully vote for every member of Congress and The Senate who tows the Trump line because they're too stupid to realize the gravity of the whole thing.
It's truly amazing to me how I'm Canadian and I understand the US Government more than the majority of Americans, apparently.
