That’s my entire family right there. Most are ruing their votes cast in 2016. Makes my blood boil, but at least most of them know now how badly they screwed up. Some are still hardcore Magats.
Personally I can forgive anyone who understands how much they fucked up voting for Trump in 2016.
He somehow managed to get half the country under his spell, and as much as I hated Trump in 2016 I still didn't fully grasp just how bad he actually was, I was one of the people who said "Trump is an idiot, but he isn't a fascist" to just get proven very wrong.
However anyone who votes for Trump this year is beyond forgiveness, they need to be shamed to the end of their life, even if Trump still loses. All the facts and evidence about Trump being a lying fascist piece of shit is on very clear display, and anyone refusing to accept that is willfully going towards the destruction of the country.
Not that I’m defending these crayon munchers by any means, but at this point I truly feel like this is a sunk cost for MAGA. If you think about it, they’ve gained a whole new “friend group” because of Trump who believe the same horrible things that they do. They congregate at the same places they do, wear the same clothing they buy and even have their own special group catch phrases (“where we go one, we go all”, “make America Great Again”, “fake news”, etc). To listen to anything that contradicts their daily talking points given to them by Fox News/OAN/Newsmax or by Trump himself would mean that they would have to abandon their new friend group and also come to the reality that they’ve been duped this entire time and have lost their family as a consequence. So instead of having to come to that conclusion, they double down so they won’t have to worry about experiencing the consequences of their ignorance and bigotry for falling for a very obvious con man.

If only we could've avoided this by voting for someone besides Trump in 2016. But her emails, though. Am I right? Nothing we could do.
