This made me sad. This is somebody's daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, friend....

A lady was interviewed outside of a polling place in Texas: "I listen to Trump. I like Trump. I like Trump a lot."
After every fucking thing this man has done and is about to do in his remaining 2 1/2 year reign of terror.
For about 1/3 of the country there is no hope.

Is trying to convert the cult. We need to register more voters. It is very sad, but, that’s where we are.

Trump could BBQ puppies on the Rose Garden slab and they'd be just fine with it. "Just trying a new recipe."

Very informal chat about what plans for the fall were. I simply asked are you going to vote? Are you registered to vote?

Brief instructions on how to register here in Ohio with the gentle admonition to do it now before proposed changes are in place.

And then we went onto another subject and more good food

Her father and brothers are trumpers

They all watch FOX, or worse, all day every day

They don’t discuss the depth of any issue, they parrot the talking points they are fed hour by hour


It makes me angry, and sad.

That party needs to be crushed completely.

Can we find no way to do this?

Really??

Nothing at all?

If that woman is run over by a bus, I won't care. No matter what terrible thing befalls her, I'll simply smile and go about my business. My empathy is over for those people. They can die in the gutter for all I care at this point. They're no longer worthy of my sympathy.

What do you like about him and then why? They need to say it out loud.

Decades ago they learned that a lot of people disapprove of their vile racism, so they took it inside. They still say gross things to one another but in public it all gets covered up with euphemisms, excuses, and defiant stares.

We know why they like Trump. They know we know.
