Trump supporters say give him a chance and I say to do what..

To destroy us even further? RepubliCONS have told us what they have in store for us as citizens they take our taxes and give it to everyone but us.

Millions are living on the streets they get raises which they decide on themselves,the rich get richer and their dumb base gets poorer and media talks shit about rural America suffering, now its important do they think people in urban areas haven't been catching hell for decades?

Its now important because too many whites are catching hell now and they are going to catch more, many are sitting somewhere with buyers remorse scared as hell but won't admit it. They wouldn't listen to facts during the campaign they don't know it yet but give it a few months they will be marching with us.

Yesterday there was a CNN segment on Trump supporters in a small town in Kentucky and it's clear they've been totally bamboozled. One lady complained that she lost her good paying job at a dress factory when the place closed down years ago. Odd, since Don the Con and his daughter both have clothing lines that could be produced in America, but aren't. I honestly think it boils down to racism and bigotry.

My friend used to worship Howard Stern. Quoted him often.

Last week, a CNN article had Stern "confiding" that Trump was angry that he won the election, how fragile his ego is, etc. and I shared that article with my friend.

She wrote back, saying to give Trump "a chance" instead of either making up her own mind or choosing Howard Stern to tell which way is up.

wouldn't vote for him during the campaign. I kept saying "Can't they see he has jobs overseas and is shipping in worker to take jobs from him and they still don't get it.

They think he can demand companies bring jobs back which will be a drop in the bucket. The media never asked him when will he bring jobs back here.

A neighbor who voted for Trump asked on the Nextdoor app how to get rid of a squirrel in her wall. I told her to give him a chance.

I responded: "Before Obama even took office, several prominent Republicans were already scheming how to make Obama a one term President and obstruct everything he did, they didn't give him a chance. You think Democrats are just going to forget that and roll over? Republicans set the tone and Democrats are going to play by the same rules."

His response....he didn't respond.

Who could have known that being President wasn't an entry-level position?

During the floods in Mississippi and Georgia, when those states' governors were begging the Trump administration for assistance, I had someone actually respond to an on-line post I'd made about how we had to let the Trump administration get up to speed, and it wasn't really fair (that word again!) to expect them to know all about the tools of governance their first weekend. I replied that if Trump had spent a little more time working with the Obama administration on the transition (like finding out where the fucking light switches are) and a little less time taking victory laps, the people who were then suffering and dying in Mississippi and Georgia might be in better shape. Yes, floods are very unfair events. That's why a new administration has to be ready before Day One.

No answer, of course.
