Ferrets are Cool

I am beginning to hear "remorse" from OrangeAnus voters since Jan 6th.

"We are regretting our vote for Trump".

So, it took an attempted insurrection for you to see how evil this man is?????

What these idiots are saying is that none of these 55 things swayed them. I would say "better late than never", but the thing is...they will just vote for the next repug that their party parades in front of them.

To them children in cages, the constant corruption and lying, and around 300,000 dead Americans when they voted were mere flesh wounds. It took a man who acted like a dictator actually trying to become a dictator to wake them up.

I know a few who voted for him in 2016 and changed their minds, mostly because the pandemic exposed his incompetence. But unfortunately of my relatives who voted for Trump, don't seem to be regretting it. Haven't talked to any of them in person, but like I said when I see them commenting on other peoples' posts which find their way into my time line, they're not changing their minds. Jeez, I know they are conservative, but they don't seem to get that Trump isn't conservative, he's a tyrant.

threatening the basic governmental structures that maintain their security. Whether they be wealthy or average Joe trumpers. Fascism itself doesn't bother them at all. In fact, they kind of like it. It touches the racist, fucking pigs in all of them. But just be cool about it. Don't make the same mistakes that put a big dent in Krupp, Thyssen, Siemens and Bayer and still clouds their reputations.

"There was no alternative."
"It's better than the socialism we're going to have now.,"
"I voted for the principles and policies, not the man."

Whenever/however Trump is gone, there will be many GOP/evangelical retroactive epiphanies.

I have been saying that for well over a year and I'm sure others have said it as well in their own way.
