Showing Original Post only (View all)Today I met a regretful Trump voter [View all]
We were swimming in the ocean and this fellow and his wife struck up a conversation with us. A very friendly guy. He's an American citizen living in Panama and his comments were striking.
"I feel Trump lied to me."
"He never said he was going to break the U.S. government."
"When did he become a fan of tariffs?"
"Trump sold us a bill of goods."
"My portfolio is in the shitter."
"I never expected him to be so stupid."
"I wish he would die already."
I politely told him that many people were in the "Find Out" phase and Vance wouldn't be any better. He laughed then said, "Still, things are better than if THAT WOMAN had won."
Hopeless. I just shook my head.

Too many people didn't come out to vote. They were more inspired by a racist and a rapist then a woman as a leader.

I don't understand why he thinks anyone should feel sorry for him when he's such a racist dick.

"He never said he was going to break the US government." They had 900 pages explaining how they were going to do

You just can't fix stupid. That woman indeed. I'm sure she would have blown up the government.

Fuck 'em and their excuses, Mango Jebus never lied to them. He told them exactly what he had in mind.

If he had to ask when Krasnov became a fan of tariffs he wasn't paying very close
