Its damn hard to find any sympathy for these individuals. And I am still trying to. But Im not having an easy time with it.
Shit. We WARNED them. We WARNED AND WARNED. And WARNED some MORE!
And we had facts. And we had his track record - with business. Screwing his contractors and subcontractors and misrepresenting all over everywhere.
With women. Vulgar statements, jokes, and sexual predation.
With HONESTY. Hiding his financials and lying about it. Lying about EVERYTHING, for that matter. The fake news - when HES the one whos a 100% pure FRAUD.
With racism and jingoism. Making the both-sides is excuses and yowling about building his wall and lying about how horrible people who dont look like you are.
And with the Russians. Lying about that, too, while the Russian infestation STILL rages on, to this day and this TRAITOR has done nothing about it. NOTHING has been or is being done to stop them - because he benefits from this infestation!
And the list goes on. And on. And ON!
And these marks - and yes. Thats what most, if not all, of his lower-income base is. Theyre marks. Targets. Who the CON man can CON from one side of the room to the other, exploiting their fears and resentments to benefit himself, not them. They fall for the slick talk and the TV celebrity gloss and glitter and the repetitive sales pitches. They fall for it all, despite being warned. And warned. And warned some more.
The truth is out there. It was during the campaign. It was during the transition. It was when he took over. And it still is, to this very hour. But they wont see it or acknowledge it as long as it hurts somebody else.
But now that its ringing THEIR doorbell, well now, thats different!
