They can't claim ignorance. This time, after his first term, and his claim that he'd do far worse in a second term, there is no excuse. No anti-libbrul, not pro-life, not devout Christian, not fiscally responsible. This time, they were just lying, mean-spirited people who derived joy from other people being hurt.

The only ones so far showing remorse are those who have been personally adversely affected. Trumpolatinos who have seen family members abducted and sent to parts unknown, Trump voters who have (or soon will) have vital medical aid, food aid, or shelter aid removed or canceled, and then suddenly whining, "I didn't vote for this." Yes, you did. You voted for exactly this. If you still have the right to vote next time, which I doubt, because you can't if you are indigent or dead, vote differently next time.
