(509 posts)20. Many Trumpists Will Rue the Day They Voted for Mango Mussolini
Last edited Wed Nov 13, 2024, 08:46 PM - Edit history (2)
A sizable percentage of the deplorables who voted for Trump did so solely "to own the libs". Trump was their stick-in-your-eye, cruelty-is-the-point, yuk-yuk-yuk "my team won!" response to the question "Which Way Forward, America?"
They voted in a neo-fascist performance artist to amuse themselves and amaze their friends, forgetting that politics is a bruising bloodsport with real-world consequences. Many will rue the day they pulled the lever for this narcissitic con man /grifter. And deny they ever did so.
"First, they came for the trade unionists . . ."
Cue economic and moral horrors starting in five, four, three . . .

What is there to explain? The margins were wide enough to call those races the same night.
