Let’s face it folks – if you’ve gotta live in a country going through chaos, you might as well have a bit of fun on the way down. One of the few things that perks me up each morning is seeing headlines like “Trump Supporters Worried About Losing Their Federal Jobs” or “Republican Voters Worried They Might Not Get Their Social Security Checks”. Well folks, when Trump was promising chaos in the run-up to the election, this is what he was talking about. All these federal departments getting turned over and eviscerated is exactly what he said he’d do. Supposedly, this is what you all wanted!

If you’re a multi-millionaire and you voted for Trump, I get it. It seems like a really good idea. If you’re working class, or even crazier, dependent on government aid, and you voted for Trump, holy crap… you were swindled.

I hope eventually our country gets back on the track to being sane. It’s a shame that it’s much, much, much easier to tear down things than it is to create them. I look forward to the mid-terms and I hope the Democrats get their heads out of their asses, because we could really use the help. In the meantime, I’ll be drinking up all those delicious “Trump supporter tears” and not feeling bad at all.

    … but you do have to give them “an out”.

    There is a path to redemption. It’s there for anyone who wants to take it.

    So far, “how was I supposed to know?” is the closest thing I’ve seen to a way to avoid embarrassment, so I think we’re going to have to let them have that one.

    Nope. That’s not it. “You were supposed to know” because it was fucking obvious to anyone who paid even a little attention. Be embarrassed about that.

      They don’t know enough about anything to even be able to be embarrassed, and that’s the whole fucking problem.

        There was that woman who refused Little t’s J6 pardon, she’s redeemed. It’s not impossible.

        Point being, if you want to take that path to redemption, it’s going to mean swallowing your pride, admitting your mistake, and demonstrating that you can do better.
