a malicious revenge-fueled psychopath….his enemies were their enemies..black/brown people/immigrants, gay/trans people/drag queens, educated women (particularly black women), Democrats.. punish them/hurt them/ deny them the right to vote..yes!!..that’s what his voters wanted.. and they turned “a deaf ear” to his promises to gut the economy, trash the Affordable Care Act, destroy the environment, reward his mega donors with obscene tax cuts, shut down the government, fire career government officials/air traffic controllers, send armies of ICE agents to harass and kill American citizens/tear children from their parents, declare the Constitution all but dead, decimate the White House, and anoint himself emperor..

So now that their guy delivered on his promise to inflict pain, they’re shocked to discover they are in pain and their lives are shit (no job/no healthcare/astronomical food prices/no way to educate their kids) and they’re wailing “This isn’t what we voted for!”..well, yes it is..

Well, it's not like they have anything more important to focus on. nt eppur_se_muova 22 hrs ago #1
