Are There Trump Supporters Who Regret Their Votes?
To the point made at left:
1) There are plenty of Trump voters who regret their votes. If that weren’t the case, it would be impossible to explain Trump’s cratering approval ratings. Now, how many of these folks base their regret on the price of groceries, or the fact that trump continues to reveal himself as a criminal sociopath is impossible to know.
2) More important is the truth revealed in this quote from the immortal Carl Sagan:
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
This is an exercise in trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist, simply to muster support for Trump from our country’s meanest and least educated people.
I don’t see why not. Let’s look at a few of his accomplishments over the last year:
It appears that this is precisely what happened to Dr. Fauci during the COVID-19 pandemic. He ran into the perfect storm of anti-science crackpots, and the far right-wing, often counterfactual media, e.g., Fox News and Newsmax.
Yes, it’s socially uncool to compare life in current-day America to the rise of the Third Reich in the early 1930s.
This seems to indicate that Big Oil, though heavily dependent on the GOP for its success in the United States, recognizes its responsibility to its shareholders, and is unwilling to make asinine business decisions just to make Trump happy.
Physician Democrat Amy Acton’s run for governor in Ohio appears to be well-timed. The state’s economy is sputtering and, though the state normally votes bright red, there is considerable concern that the Republican party is run by a lunatic whose economic policies have hurt Ohioans badly.
When did the United States abandon intelligence and civility, and start acting like a nation of stupid assholes?
Should we be concerned for our personal safety now that violent, hateful ICE agents may be given immunity from prosecution for murder?
Do you think a single one of the seven million “No Kings” protesters shouted “Death to America?”
