Really interested to hear what the "I didn't vote for this! I was just SO WORRIED about the price of milk and eggs" crowd has to say for themselves right about now. Never forget and never forgive the people who voted for this tyrant who rapes children.

I say this all the time - so stop me if I’m screeching! - but I really believe that most Trump voters vote for him because Trump hates the same people they do. The price-of-eggs reasoning for those voters is just a palatable excuse.

Maybe never forget but don’t we have to forgive at least some of them? We want them to join us and vote against the next iteration of this. Plus some of them are indoctrinated by Faux News and only now coming to see the light.

Also, let’s not forget that even if ole Yam Tits leaves or is removed from office, the present alternatives are as unsavoury, if not more so. Vance in his pants and all the cast of the cabinet have to go. As do most of the Congressional GOP.

Unfortunately we will need to have a general amnesty for genuinely regretful 'Fell For It Again' award winners. But I don't know how to stop them from falling for it in the future.

Meanwhile, I'm wondering where all those anti-government militias that were holding public parks hostage are now. Look the government's stomping on the Constitution, federal police are attacking citizens of sovereign states! Get out there! "Whut? Nah..."

I can take a wild guess. Sure maybe some people are filled with regret. But the truth is some people voted for this, wanted it, and like it. This is what they would say:

But they did vote for this. Anyone with 1/2 brain cell knows this. The signs were there from the first time he ran. He showed us he was awful from the get go everything that has happened is not surprising. And if you're surprised by any of it i have this lovely bridge to sale you 3.50.
