Trump supporters across the country are learning the hard way that they elected a conman to lead the nation. The realization has left a bad taste in millions of voters’ mouths as no one likes to be duped.
Robin DeFabbio wants Donald Trump to delete his Twitter account. She said, “We’re wasting so much time. He’s like a very bad child that I’m glad I didn’t raise.”
Numerous Wisconsin voters are fed up with the political landscape and the country’s landscape in general due to Trump’s presidency.
Kari Walker said, “I am a political science major. I am starting to hate politics. Actually, not starting, I do hate politics: the vitriol and the vulgarity and the lack of willingness to talk to people.”
Clinton voter Tom Lukens of Viroqua explained how Trump ruined some of his friendships. He said, “I wouldn’t keep a friend that voted for Trump. I have a neighbor that I haven’t been able to speak to since.”
Trump voter Neil Justilliano stated, “I did vote for him. It was really hard. We have been stuck in a political rut on every level. I’m so embarrassed by what a show it is. Because it is a show.”
Trump pulled a fast one on all the working people, the unemployed , seniors, and those who are struggling with poverty. As a liberal , I care very much that these folks as be helped out: jobs in alternative green industries and universal healthcare, not to mention that they get to live and raise their families in a non-toxic environment. These folks have been neglected for 30+years and it is time to make their needs a priority!
It’s not like they weren’t warned!!!!! They just couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a woman, I guess.
I agree with all that you said these ROTTEN RED NECKs deserve their karma. Stupid like the German people who elected HITLER
The German people didn’t elect Hitler. There was no vote. The German president, Hindenburg, gave Hitler the chancellery and emergency powers after the Reichstag fire. Then a Parliamentary act, backed by the Nazis, helped Hitler consolidate his power and rise. Also more than Red Necks voted for Trump. And not everyone who voted Trump is who you think they are. I’m not on Trump’s side in the slightest, but lying and assuming about the people of this election and projecting an “Us or them mentality” on everyone isn’t helping. It’s the same tactics the Alt-Right is using to further demonize liberals and the left.
Trump did initiate a Us versus Them platform. After he got the votes he needed to be elected, a lot of people got pushed off that platform making them them!
Actually Hitler was elected
Both Kaye and Dorothy are right. Hitler was not elected president of Germany, but he was the second place candidate and got 30.1% of the vote. The elected president Hindenburg attempted to appease the minority (but growing) Nazi party by appointing him Chancellor. Hindenburg died in 1934, and Hitler and the Nazi party were positioned to take control of the German government even though they were put into those positions without the majority popular vote.
We have a different system here in America, but the parallels are disturbingly similar. The party with the minority popular support has gamed the system with gerrymandering and positioned itself perfectly. We are one Reichstag Fire/terrorist attack away from a dictatorship.
Stay frosty, y’all.
Gale,
It not that we didn’t want a woman, we just didn’t want THAT woman. As much as I hate Trump, if the election were being held again tomorrow I would STILL vote against Hillary, Trump or no Trump. That’s where Hillary supporters made their mistake. We told you that we hated Hillary but you didn’t believe us, and corrupted the primaries to get her nominated anyway. The entire nation has risen up against Trump, so he’s serving as a wakeup call, but Hillary is insidious, so it would have been business as usual. The only difference between Hillary and Trump is Hillary would have cut our throats with a scalpel instead of a hacksaw.
Only the willfully ignorant people believed 30 years of made up lies about a woman, while ignoring the known and long legally documented facts about a man.
I could not care less about the trump voters. They made the mess that is destroying this country. They aren’t innocent people easily conned. The information was easily available, but they chose hate and racism over the very basic things most children are taught. If you can’t learn work together, there will be no better futures for anyone. Instead they chose selfishness, so they are on their own now.
They made their bed, and we all have to lie in it. Screw them.
Yup. I agree 100%.
Yep,yep
Not a good answer to this problem. You realize you and everyone else are also in that bed! ThE problem was that the Oligarchy gave us two of their own choices. Eighther way they win. Good cop bad cop . Had people been furious at the rigging of the primary and therefore manipulation of the election, things would have been better. Theleft has been just as manipulated as the right.
Hate to make it racial, but someday white people should realize they’re no smart than anyone else. Your hate for President Obama caused you to elect the most ignorant and vile creature I’ve ever seen.
So many of my friends, who happen to be white, think as highly of — and MISS — President Obama as much as my black friends. Trump wasn’t running against Obama. But Trump made it all about undoing all of Obama’s accomplishments. I don’t actually believe that it was totally racial (though I concede that Trump is a White Supremacist). Trump just cant stand ANYONE who has upstaged him or is loved more than he is. It’s a huge narcissist character flaw.
If they’d only educated themselves or even just realized that a self-centered billionaire (is he?) wouldn’t have their best interests in mind…..
To be honest and I ask God for forgiveness, but I do not feel sorry
For any of TRUMP supporters.
In fact they deserve 15 times more
Of the same medication ,they are
Not stupid they are hatters,RACIST
They have no compation for
Nobody
I agree, but they have to stop with the racist bullsh*t. SO many of them just lapped that up and though I will still fight for those things because they’re good for all of us, I can’t spend any time with them.
PEOPLE HAVING BUYERS REMORSE NOW ABOUT VOTING FOR THE ORANGE MORON SHOULD EDUCATE THEMSELVES AND RID THEMSELVES OF SO MUCH RACISM AND BIGOTRY. WHITE PEOPLE WHO FLOCKED TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DID SO SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT STAND BLACK FOLKS FIGHTING AND PROTESTING FOR THEIR CIVIL AND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. THIS SAYS IT ALL ABOUT WHAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS BECOME AND FOR ANY BLACK PERSON TO BE A MEMEBER OF THAT RACIST AND BIGOTES PARTY IS JUST AS MUCH AN IMBECILE. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAVE LOST ITS WAY AND IS AND ALWAYS BE THE PARTY OF THE KKK, WHITE NATIONLISTS, AND THE WHITE SUPREMACIST ALONG WITH OTHER HATE GROUPS. EVEN THE REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS ARE JUST AS RACIST AND BIGOTED YET THEY HAVE BECOME SO IMMORAL AND CORRUPT EVEN DOIN HARM TO THEIR VOTERS. BUT THOSE VOTERS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN USED DUE TO WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY THAT HAVE KEPT WHITE PEOPLE POOR , UNEDUCATED, ANGRY, RACIST, AND BIGOTED FOR MANY YEARS. I THINK THEY SHOULD QUIT CRYIN AND LEARN A VALUABLE LESSON AND THAT IS WHEN YOU TRY TO HARM OTHERS IT TEND TO BACK FIRE….DU??????
It is hard to feel sorry for them, couldn’t they see who he was?
I feel the pain of those people out of work, or the working poor who Trump lied to, preyed upon and were conned into believing in a man whose whole life has been a contrivance and a fraud. But some of you have said We error if we perceive these Trump voters as culpable. Trump manipulated thousands of them not just by false hopes of a job but by focusing on their prejudices, fears, greed and hate. This a powerful lesson on how a demagogue and fascist government comes into power. Give comfort to those who now reject Trump but stand firm in refusing to accept the most common characteristics of people whose racism, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, hate and anger drove them to follow Trump.
I have zero sympathy for them. They’re racist, misogynistic, narrow minded fools. He came down that escalator n his comments about ‘bad hombres’ was quite clear. Families are being torn apart. Hillary warned them. Tough shit now we all suffer because of their idiocy
if you voted for trump I don’t want to hear your regret, I want to see you join the resistance and fight to get the GOP out of office in November. Support progressive candidates and the blue wave that IS coming.
ACTUALLY, to be honest, Secret RACISTS voted for Trump and YOU still were backing him when he was attacking anyone that was NOT WHITE AND NOT MALE. That was okay for you, getting you racist disgusting pigs to chant,”LOCK HER UP!” and attack everyone while you all cheered and laughed, now, that he has gotten you deeply racists on his side, he is now going to steal ALL your money for his RICH bosses and his debt to Putin. I don’t feel sorry for any of you that voted for Trump because only a deeply selfish, ignorant, BULLY would have EVER voted for him in the first place. Shame on you, put down that stupid bible and get educated.
IMO, this article soft-pedals Richland County. It is close to being considered an outer-ring suburb of Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN. Hundreds of people there commute into Minnesota, where our government, led by a Democrat is actually doing quite well, with plenty of jobs, and significantly higher pay than Wisconsin under Scott Walker. I know this to be true, because I share my commuter bus and the roads each morning with mostly Wisconsinites who work in Minnesota.
I drove through Wisconsin and then through Minnesota this year. The contrast was as clear as day. Wisconsin’s roads were pot-holed and in poor repair. The road-side rest stops were dingy, old and in need of upkeep. As soon as we crossed over into Minnesota, the roads were paved, the rest stops were clean and shiny and there were these glorious windmills generating power right in among the green fields. If I had to choose which state to live in, it’d be Minnesota without question.
Trump pulled a fast one really? That piece of garbage has showed his ugly from day one!!!! As I recall, thats what his supporters supported about him. “He speaks his mind” Blah blah blah!!!!! Yes, bragging about sexual assalt and racism is so refreshing. Whatever idiots! I only hope that you hatefull f**ks suffer more than those of us with brains!!!!!!
Thank you! Maybe now America will WAKE UP!!!
you got it. Willfully ignorant racist white scum who voted for a serial sexual assaulter because of a high performing black president. Let them all suffer the consequences of their white supremacy. I hope it destroys them all.
Nothing in this story causes me to feel badly for all the people who claim they were duped.
He is a “rich” ass who is as vulgar as the day is long, is a sexual predator (“grab them by the pussy”), his “campaign” was made up of lies, innuendos, and fabricated charges about Hillary and his opponents, every time he was asked for specifics about policy he glossed over the fact that he had, and STILL has, no policies beyond putting totally unqualified people (his campaign donors) in charge of critical jobs and enriching himself at the expense of average taxpayers ; his campaign actively encouraged interference by russia in the election, factual stories were told of the way he screws over small businesses by breach of contract, defauded people who enrolled in his “university”, actively encouraged his racist base to go after anyone who refused to buy into the fantasy he was selling, he is owned by russia since he owes banks there millions in loans to keep his vulgar “brand” afloat…all this and more about this disgusting, pathetic, reprehensible excuse for a human being was known long before the election-but evidently None of it mattered . No wonder he loves the uneducated-that’s who put him in the white house.
He is a tantrum-throwing toddler with a twitter account, hell bent on giving himself and his cronies all the tax breaks they want while ultimately driving the deficit up by one and a half TRILLION DOLLARS. Medicare and Medicaid wiill be slashed along with every other vital program that aids many more people than his so-called tax “reform bill will benefit.
He is a stupid, lying, cheating, thieving, greedy, contemptible conman who surrounds himself with sycophants whose only concerns seem to be destroying the departments for which they are responsible.
His school-yard bully tactics have made our once-great country a laughingstock on the world stage, and he’s an embarrassment as a “representative “ of our country.
He was all of the above-AND MORE- long before the election and he will be that way in prison long after he’s impeached.
Great post, you covered it all. Thanks
Perfectly stated. My heart goes out to all the people suffering due to this “so called president” and to the people worldwide who are touched by his inhumanity.
Beautifully said and I couldn’t agree more, but seriously, you should tell us how you really feel…..
THANK GOD! Finally, someone summed it up perfectly. I was wondering. ..what are these people seeing or hearing that I’m not
You had a good decent man in the WH. One who cared about the everyday American citizen, who tried to do right by us. Yet you denigrated him and his family, calling him every name in the book except a child of God. He tried to implement retraining programs for the coal miners, who refused to take advantage of them. (Coal is coming back they kept saying) Let’s face the facts and call a spade a spade. You hated the fact that a man of color, (I won’t say Black because he is bi-racial) was educated, intelligent and very, very much a visionary, married to a woman with 2, I say 2 degrees from 2 different IVY league schools, and had two cute little girls occupied “YOUR” WHITE HOUSE. You couldn’t get past the color of his skin, and supported the obstructionist in your party to keep him from achieving good for the American people. Despite this his accomplishments were many and pulled us out of a recession and started us back onto a path of advancement towards the future. Now what do we have??? A spoiled, rich, petty tyrant, who is a failure in business and morality, yet you welcomed him with open arms….Trump our savior, he tells it like it is…..really?? Really??? Why?? Because he said all the things you wanted to hear? Because you couldn’t get passed the fact that the previous occupant of the WH didn’t look like you?? Well I am going to tell it like it really is….you are racist, bigoted, misogynistic, homophobic, and you need to suffer like those who you wished the suffering on. I can not, and I will not have any sympathy for folks like you, I hope you rot in your cesspool of poverty, like you wished on those who you felt may get a nickel more than you. If there is a God, I hope he slams those pearly gates when it is your time to enter because that is what you deserve for your hateful, divisive nature.
Cenna O’Donnell you nailed it good….summed it up very well.
Sure did, Cenna!
…and then to go from a bi-racial educated man with absolutely no scandal to voting for a highly educated woman who’s husband took this country into economic progress was more than you #45 supporters could handle.
I won’t give him the dignity of the title he deserves for holding that office. I only refer to him as 45. Much like the press didn’t acknowledge President Barack Obama as President Obama, only as Barack Obama.
Not one scandal before, during nor after his tenure.
Can’t even count 45’s. Even President Bill Clinton’s affairs were consensual.
Those who voted for 45 weren’t duped, you were dumb.
An open statement to Hillary Clinton: you should have asked Bernie Sanders to be your running mate. You would have been a shoe in.
However everything happens for a reason. Perhaps all this was to allow the sexual assaults in DC to come to the service.
From the UK ,, We here are watching this farce and simply cannot believe you Americans voted this imbecile into the Oval Office ,, You knew exactly what he was and is yet you still voted for him ! He’s defrauded many many people in all of his businesses ,, We watched him on the campaign trail insulting his opponents in the most disgusting manner not only Hilary but Republican opponents too ,,, Who can forget his attacks on John McCain and Ted Cruz ? Boasting not paying his taxes makes him smart !!! What about ordinary people across America who have paid their share while he gold plates his elevator ! His very presence in the Oval Office besmirches the honour and traditions of that office ,,, When is the Republican Party in Washington going to say ,,, That’s it ! No More ,, I cannot any longer be a party to this mans behaviour !!!
To be fair at least we can bounce back from Trump, I don’t know how the U.K. is going to recover from Brexit.
This man was not elected by us. He lost the popular vote by 3 million. We have found out that Russia hacked our voting system in 39 states on the electoral college vote and altered vote totals. If you look through Trump’s history as a business man and just as a person, he has NEVER acquired anything in his life honestly. He rigged this election and slithered his way into the White House.
Happy to be Canadian and watch from north of the border and scratch my head at his outlandish campaign promises……surprised so many swallowed his vitriol!
Cenna–your comment is amazing. You nailed it–and made me even sadder to think about how much we lost when he left office. We had an incredible president and a beautiful First Family. It’s too bad this pathetic excuse of a country didn’t appreciate him or them. Now we have a sexual predator and Russian hooker taking their place, and I’m disgusted with every aspect of “‘Murica”. I’m becoming more and more embarrassed to be an American. The idiots who supported this subhuman sack of excrement have no one to blame for getting screwed by him except themselves. Thanks for your thoughtful and intelligent comment. 🙂
Ronny, rest assured that the majority of Americans did NOT vote for this asshole occupying the Oval Office. Like you, we knew what he was and worked diligently to prevent him from winning the election. Unfortunately the toxic combination of voter suppression, gerrymandering, the antiquated electoral college, and most of all, collusion with Russia and Russian interference in our election allowed this supremely unqualified man to steal the presidency. Please know that the majority of Americans know that trump is an illegitimate president, not worthy of the office. Trump and the GOP interference in our election allowed a relatively small ignorant, poorly educated, racist and bigoted, voting novice segment of our population to obtain the majority of the electoral vote, even though trump clearly lost the popular vote. As a whole, Americans as a whole are not neatly as ignorant as assumed by the rest of the world as indicated by the election of this moron.
I will donation in lieu of flowers to Planned Parenthood when you die from government neglect or as I like to call it YOUR FUCKING STUPIDITY!
Hey, if you’re going to be dumb, you gotta be tough.
You knew exactly what Trump and the Republicans were about long before the election, but you didn’t want to hear it.
I hope you suffer miserably. Perhaps you will listen next time.
Suck it up STOOPID people. You broke it, you own it.
Trump was always like this – he grew up lying and welching on his word How could anyone think after 70 years of that behavior that he would change.
They made their bed, now they must lay in it
The fact is ALL poor and middle class people will suffer for the minority of racist, women hating, child neglecting bigots that “elected” this horrible person. NYers have despised this creep for decades, for his greed, his lying and bragging, for not paying contractors for their work, bankrupting them in court and being tied up w/ the Mafia and Russian criminals around the world.. Even Wall Street, who never saw a buck it couldn’t finagle, hate this monster because he screwed them too. It’s not just people that are ignorant and hateful, it’s all Americans that don’t vote and it’s the GOP that is determined to exhaust and bankrupt the poor and middle class while they line their own pockets…who own this monstrous “president”. The fact is, he cheated his way to the presidency and the GOP has bent over backwards to support him. Trump and the GOP can go to hell in my view.
Fucking shit for brains Trump Supporters. May you loose everything and go fucking bankrupt!, Karma is a bitch assholes! Enjoy!
It looks like these people are going to have to live with the consequences of their actions. If you dislike both candidates equally you vote for the one who is more qualified for the job. Perhaps they can call Trump when their mortgage payments are due. hahahahaha!
Great, so the media is transitioning from a focus on Trump voters who will stick with him no matter what to Trump voters who are starting to regret their vote.
At what point is there an article where Clinton voters get to tell Trump voters “We warned all of you ignorant hateful gullible dummies this would happen.”
Disclaimer: Yes, it’s a lot. But you’re already here so…
On the night he was elected I wrote one of the very last statements I ever would on social media before I freed myself from that toxic environment. I said when you dipshits realize he betrayed you, the last thing I want to hear is you crying about it. Zero sympathy, zero fucks given.
The election was far beyond politics for me. It was simply about stopping this person, if you can even call him that. I very much resented forcing myself to vote for Hillary Clinton, I have strongly disliked her phony behavior since her first run for president. But she only represented the average, lame ass, dirty politician I’d come to expect. I trust absolutely zero politicians anyway. He was different. Trump basically represented every Disney villain ever fucking created. Every flaw you can have as a human being is right there in plain sight. So it was important to me to at least TRY to stop him from turning our country into a joke. In honor of the people who fought in courtrooms and battlefields, on both parties, etc, working their asses off defending and dying to protect virtues, morals, and all the ideas America was founded on. People who took it seriously. Trying to make this place better. For everyone.
I understand the misguided feeling that politics wasn’t working, we needed someone to shake it up. So let’s invite this bizarre businessman caricature of a person in there and see what happens. I get it. Here’s what happened. You elected a fucking cartoon character. And you KNEW he was like this. The guy had been a running joke for the last 20 years. The hair, the spray tan, he was proof money couldn’t buy class, everyone was making fun of him. You already knew he was a spoiled, narcissistic bully. You then learned he was a pathological liar, an admitted sexual assaulter of women, the list goes on. You knew he wouldn’t take it seriously. You knew he’d piss it all away. But hey, you wanted to annoy liberals, right? Awesome. Beautiful rationale. You know what they were all crying for when the results came in? All those “liberal tears”? Because it wasn’t Hillary Clinton. Fuck her. She IS a loser. It wasn’t that she lost. It was that HE won. It was humanity. We lost humanity that night. All of us. Every party. Humans. You fucked the entire species. Congratulations.
I’m not a liberal, i’m not a conservative. What I am is a great judge of character. I had the luxury of growing up in a family who’d switched back and forth. So I saw years of ugly behavior from both sides. My conclusion was this: fuck the circus of political parties. I refuse to work under those labels because I won’t have ANY group’s shitty choices wholeheartedly represent me. I will not go down in flames with any group I had no part in creating, and who ultimately doesn’t give a shit about me or my life, just my support to be used for their self-serving agenda. That goes for politics, religions, countries I was born in, sports teams, gaming consoles, Coke or Pepsi, everything. I’m not in your petty fucking club. I go for the individual, and if that individual fucks up, I don’t stand behind them as if I owe them something, when all evidence points to hypocrisy. Especially when your primary motivation is only to piss off the other side. Newsflash dickhead: Both sides are right, AND both sides are wrong. Time for some self-reflection. Grow up. Be a person. Have some fucking heart. Don’t be a tool, because the bottom line is, you will only be used, and following will get you fucked. Inevitably. It’s your right, as a human being, to represent YOURSELF. If you back someone, and they act like assholes, grow some balls and SAY IT. From the beginning. Never compromise yourself to support someone who never cared about you in the first place. I applaud you for eventually opening your eyes.
That being said, let me make this perfectly clear. If you are such an incredibly shitty judge of character to have elected this dickhead in the first place, with all of his character flaws staring you smack in the face, and now have the laughable audacity to bitch about him duping you? You deserve a lot more than our words can give you. You chose this guy over friends and family, people who loved you, because you couldn’t back down, right? Painted yourself into a corner? Agreeing with liberals might have given them some kind of smug satisfaction. Can’t have that. So you buckled in and rode his orange shrimpdick into the lowest depths of human existence because you were terrified to backpeddle? Welcome to the fresh hell you created, you blatantly ignorant mother fuckers. Own it. And stay away from the fucking voting booth. You’re fired.
fuck trump
If you voted for Trump and now feel regret this is all on you. It was obvious to anyone with a modicum of intelligence to see Trump for what he is.
It doesn’t matter if its Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Reagan, or whoever. All politicians are the same. They all lie about raising taxes and favor the rich. The rich 2% run the country run the country. So much for government for the people. I’m all for capitalism but if government doesn’t change its going to get worse
I don’t understand how they could watch this man treat people like crap on The Apprentice for years and not see see he was a cold hearted, obtuse person. He displayed his childish idiocy openly during the campaign over and over. It was obvious he would be an abusive President. That said, he was not elected anyway. He lost the popular vote and Russia hacked our voting systems on the electoral college. I don’t believe he won any part of the vote legitimately at all.
