[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll preface this by stating the obvious truth: I hate trump, yes, of course. Who doesn’t? But at the end of the day, trump is just an irrelevance. A loudmouth buffoon who will soon be humiliated at the polls again, and then spend what may be the rest of his life in a New York state prison as a 34 count convicted felon facing possibly 14 decades at sentencing, if he doesn’t flee the country first - which I suspect he will. Either way, he’s soon to be gone and won’t be our problem anymore.

But the 50-odd million people who will probably still vote for him this November aren’t going anywhere. And those are the people I really, truly, viscerally despise. Because they gave trump his power. Without these imbeciles, trump would be nothing. He’d literally have the same influence as a crazy screaming homeless man shouting at no one in a city park. That’s what trump would be without the millions of supporters who give him his power. These are the the people I hate. Not trump. trump is just a symptom. His supporters, his sycophants - they are real problem. The disease.

It really made me sad when I came to this realization today, because until now, I assumed that things were going to be awesome after the election and we’d never have to suffer his buffoonery again. But then I realized his supporters aren’t going anywhere. They’re still going to be around regardless of whatever happens to him. And that infuriated me.

I just don’t know how to get past this. I’m just consumed with anger at the realization that probably should’ve occurred to me earlier, but didn’t. I was so consumed with hating trump that I wasn’t able to see who I truly should’ve been hating even more. And now realizing that these people will still be around after he goes away, it just ruins everything.

Very upset tonight. Can barely contain my rage.

His supporters hate America and all that it stands for. They’re also super weird. [/quote]

Um, it’s progressives who hate America. Everyone knows that.  And all the purple-haired weirdos are democrats; not republicans.

Nice try though.[/quote]

Republicans aren’t out burning American flags and shouting “Death to America!”  That would be Democrats.  [/quote]

Nah.  They are just carrying a confederate flag through the Capitol.  [/quote]

DP.  On one day.  That happened on one day by a tiny group of weirdos who have been arrested and jailed.  Meanwhile, practically EVERY day, we see LWNJ weirdos defacing statues, burning U.S. flags, raising Palestinian flags (!!?!!), harassing Jewish people, and screaming at anyone who dares to disagree with them.  How many of those thugs have actually been sent to prison?[/quote]

Uhh you can't exactly call those people "Democrats" or "Biden/Harris supporters" when they call Joe Biden "Genocide Joe" and while they heckle Biden, Harris and other Democrats at campaign events.   They clearly aren't Democrats.  Hate them all you like but they aren't on the ticket to vote against.  Harris has nothing to do with them and neither do the Democrats.  To base your vote on a belief that they represent Democrats misses the mark by a mile.[/quote]

Nope.  You don’t get to disown these thugs just because they embarrass you. Part of the reason Harris didn’t choose Shapiro is because she’s pandering to that faction of your party - the antisemites.  [b]And they absolutely will vote for the Democrats[/b].  Stop playing dumb.

And that's why they were protesting a Democrat rally? Are you even listening to what you're saying?[/quote]

They were protesting because they're demanding the Democrats do their bidding re: Gaza.  Even if Democrats don't kowtow to their demands 100%, these people will still be voting for them.  What's their alternative?[/quote]
