Better late than never, but welcome to reality, sir.

1. Don the Con is history

Most humans will choose their lives over this monster

[safeinOhio]

2. Just about 4 years ago, we started to see

stickers, yard signs and bill boards everywhere for Tramp. Few if any for Hillary. Is it time to start putting them up for Joe? I'd love to see a reverse of what happened back then. A lack of yard signs for tramp will be very telling.

[Maru Kitteh]

14. You have a good point! I think it is time for yard signs for Joe.

Think I'll bop on over and get one! Thanks

3. It's an eye opener

for anyone who knows something about a topic, either through training, their profession or just a deep interest, to listen to a politician pontificating on that topic, and suddenly get hit with this thought:


---==== HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT! ====---


That there was a real light bulb moment for the 77 year old dad, for sure!

And this is why most politicians and business people don't want people to get a quality education that includes in depth knowledge on anything, or includes critical thinking skills. (Did I mention church and cult leaders in that?)

Just makes it harder to bamboozle the marks with bullshit.

[Coventina]

4. Still FUCK HIM! It is way too late for forgiveness!! Too much damage has been done.

Anyone who voted for Trump is forever my enemy.

They are deplorables, and remain deplorables.

They only "wise up" when it AFFECTS THEM PERSONALLY!



Thousands of Americans will die because of them!

[Raster]

6. I'm with you... enough of trying to understand and coddle tRump* voters and enablers...

...I. Don't. FUCKING. Care. Any intelligent, logical, aware person could see several years ago that there is NOTHING there. #tRump* was a failure, is a failure and will always be a failure... and now, WE ALL will be profoundly affected by #tRump*s failures.

[dansolo]

8. Don't coddle, but I welcome their votes

Heck, I'd even be happy if they just didn't vote at all, because that would mean less Republican votes down ballot.

[Wounded Bear]

10. Trump "won" the electoral college by razor thin margins in 3 states...

If 25k Trump voters had stayed home in '16, we'd have a functional president.

[oldsoftie]

15. So you'd rather he just keep his vote for trump because "fuck him", huh?

Yeah, THATS a winning strategy.

[durablend]

16. As soon as the next Republican shiny object shows up

He'll be right back to voting for him/her/it.

[oldsoftie]

19. The current objective is to get rid of TRUMP.

we helped the russians fight the germans. We knew they wouldnt be our friends after the war was over. Much, MUCH bigger picture, but the same point

[Coventina]

21. We are NOT going to win in November by converting Trump voters

(which, I am highly skeptical is even possible)

The winning strategy is GOTV, GOTV, GOTV.

[oldsoftie]

23. Its not just winning, its winning by a large margin.

he must be beaten by a large margin

[Coventina]

24. No argument from me on that. n/t

[jrthin]

27. Exactly. nt

[Xipe Totec]

5. You can't gaslight your way out of a 20% drop in the stock market. nt

[johnthewoodworker]

7. I can't wait for the day when that small percentage of trump voters, who have an insight

into how much America has been damaged, begin to deny, or completely ignore their support for president pussygrabber. They will join the ranks of the Jill Stein voters, whom are nearly impossible to find.

[gordianot]

11. I know where the Stein voters went.

Into the same hole Nader voters fell into.

[GusBob]

9. Too little too late in my opinion

An educated man and a health care provider should know better also just my opinion

And I'd bet it was always about money

[hatrack]

12. And it only took five years . . .

Bra

Fucking

Vo

[oldsoftie]

13. THESE are the people I've talked about. How many Hillary voters will now vote Trump?

NONE
But there are many trump voters who are simply done with him. How many voters who didnt vote in '16 will now vote trump? Some of them, i'm sure, but i'd bet more will vote for Biden

[Turin_C3PO]

20. Yes, that's what I've been saying.

Trump has expanded his base of support at all. Biden will go in with the Obama coalition PLUS a good chunk of the white working class, certainly more than Hillary had. I’m very optimistic about our chances in November. Of course, we can still mess it up but things are looking good.

[jimlup]

17. Make sure he doesn't relapse!

Provide as much careful support for reality as you can!

[gratuitous]

18. This is the right reaction

If you have a Trump-humping friend or relative and the scales fall from their eyes, stay in touch with them. You don't have to be mean or obnoxious about it, but make sure they're informed on the Trump incompetence that resonates with them. For the doctor dad in the original post, that might be all the anti-scientific policies and programs the administration backs.

We'll work on suitable penance later, but for now let's join the angels in rejoicing over one repentant sinner.

[BComplex]

22. I wish the entire world was done with Fox "news". Fox is not news!!

It's entertainment! They went to the supreme court so they could lie. We need to take them off the air.

[Skittles]

25. so....kids in cages were fine

fuck these people

[Laffy Kat]

26. Great news!
