She'll forget about her 'outrage' in a week ot two, then go back to praising all his 'wisdom and leadership'.

Translation:

I am personally being affected by my choices, and no one will help me because I am a terrible, selfish person who chose to ignore everyone telling me to stop, and now they've washed their hands of me and I'm all alone and scared. Waaaaaaaaaaaa 😭

Regardless of this woman's issues, her finally coming around is a good sign. Let them finally crawl out of the cult pit.

Calling it the Epstein Shutdown is gold.

She's an absolute mark, truly gullible, likely extremely racist and afraid of everything.

The problem with cases like this is often they still only vote republican because the scariest things to them (gay people, brown people) are always gonna be the scary people.

The best somebody like this will do is not vote. Keep in mind how dumb this person is and the fact she probably has a pile of guns.

Why are they complaining? After all, they didn't vote for the orange rapist because he would do anything for the little people, but because he is a racist and just as dull-witted and intolerant as they are themselves—that was so important to these people that they voted for him against their own interests.

Now they don't want to pay the price, but claim they voted for him because they supposedly believed, against all common sense and against the advice of even their own families, that he would stand up for the people? No one believes that.

No one believes that.

Q believes that. 😄

I do believe that. More often than not, people believe what they want the truth to be, not what the actual truth is.

This person obviously falls for propaganda quite a bit. And the right spends a lot of time painting the left as an evil force that hates them and wants to destroy them and their children. So even if Trump is not as pristine as she'd wish, still better than the left who literally wants to destroy her children and force them to be trans (or whatever the current narrative is).

I'm not saying the vile racists are not a significant portion of their voters, I'm just saying that these well meaning but severely misguided people are a huge portion of their voters as well.

And by lumping them together you're basically forcing them to adopt the extreme views so that they belong somewhere. And that's how you create more extremists, because you tell them "either you're with us or with them." And with the (wrong) information they have, they can never choose you.

I'm not saying to tolerate intolerance, but ask any psychologist how successful can you be in forcing people to change their view. You have to guide them so that they discover the answer alone. And unlike the really bigotted people, people like her can be guided.
