    Robert Zeidman, a computer forensics expert who voted for Trump twice, did just that

    It’s heartwarming to see that there are still some Trump voters willing to set partisanship aside for the sake of personal greed.

      Personal greed was probably why he voted for Trump both times anyway.

          Yep. “All I know is my taxes are lower.”

            And probably can’t comprehend that Trump’s tax cut expiration was purposely set during the next administration as a political ploy

              That could be something they really want, that could be an added bonus for them or they could just not give a fuck about any of those people dying in a ditch.

              It’s a big tent party!

      You can either get eaten by leopards or the capitalism machine. Sometimes one feeds the other.

      Is it greed, or the incessant need to prove someone on the internet wrong?

      Heh, and the more charitable explanation he provides:

      Wednesday’s ruling, Zeidman said, made him feel “a little more optimistic” about receiving the $5 million.

      “I still think chances are probably small that I’ll see it,” he said. “But again, I wish people would get the lesson that it’s okay to challenge your own beliefs.”
