I Don’t Think Trump’s Remaining Supporters Realize How Much They Are Despised By Non-MAGA Voters - Above the Law (abovethelaw.com)

Early last week, I was at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library for its first weekend. At the library itself, despite President Donald Trump inserting himself incongruously into the opening ceremonies, I did not see a single person sporting a Trump-branded clothing item.

The town of Medora, North Dakota, itself was, however, a different story. It wasn’t overwhelming. But for someone who lives in an urban center of a blue state, where even in the ruby red rural areas most people have become sufficiently shamed to shut up about their MAGA tendencies, a single errant MAGA cap is a rarity.

Not sure how much Americans are aware they are despised as a collective about electing this twice, doing fuckall about it, blaming everything and everyone else and now pushing it onto the rest of us.

You're gonna keep inviting Trump into your country, he's gonna keep shaking hands with your leaders, and even if he kills all of us American citizens all at once in a state-sponsored massacre and you hear about it on the news, your country will not impose sanctions, and you'll see your leader shaking hands with him on television the following month.

Yep, here we go, my country’s equally complicit. I knew this one would come up, too.

Just because we signed a treaty and have to be diplomatic to our allies doesn’t put us in any way at fault here, and it’s not our job to fix your problem. Especially after you spent years telling us to mind our own business.

Fuck you lot are pathetic. Blame every thing else except themselves…now we are to blame because we won’t sanction your government

Stop expecting others to do your job.

I didn't tell you to do anything. I don't know you.

But yeah you shouldn't be cowtowing to a dictator and then blaming his victims. You are not going to experience ICE raids.

I am telling you now, for the first time, because this is the first time we've ever spoken, to stop blaming the victims of fascism for their own oppression. He's a dictator. It doesn't matter how hard we vote.

I didn’t tell you

I meant the collective of them telling everyone who told them to get out and vote in 2016 and prior to mind their own business and it’s Americans right not to vote
