The man has no regard for the constitution and was never running to be president; he was running to be dictator. And don't get me started on his idiotic followers! These people are so stupid and blind it's amazing. For 8 years they complained that Obama was a dictator and was going to censor his political opponents when he NEVER did that not once. Also, his supporters are more about the fact they won than policy. They keep telling me he's going to be president for all Americans, but whenever I question him they just respond with "SHUT UP LIBTARD! YOU LOST GET OVER IT!" And these people can vote? That's what's really sad.
I have even had Trump supporters tell me they can't wait for Trump to be president because then people like me should be shot under a Trump presidency. They seriously want a dictator. Their hatred is going to lead to the destruction of the GOP.
Nobody wants a dictator. Not everyone that voted for Trump agreed with everything he said and promised. Many people that voted for Trump did so despite his obvious faults not because they adhered to them. To you they are just idiotic followers in addition to being blind.
It was Obama that told his recently defeated political foes that 'elections have consequences'. How different is this from "shut up libtard! you lost get over it!"? The only difference is that the President, at the time, chose not to use an invective description of his audience; otherwise, the message is exactly the same. Elections have consequences. Seemed fun at the time, but now that the shoe's on the other foot, the only reaction is to call the opposition idiotic, stupid and blind. Not a sound strategy for flipping votes.
They are idiotic and blind -- that describes the right-wing in general. I was on a Christian forum before this one, and I can tell you from experience, most of them are buffoons. These people believe everything they hear from echo chambers of misinformation like Brietbart, FOX, and InfoWars, and buy all the conspiracy theories, junk science, and outright lies that come with them. Plenty of them want a dictator for this country, which is why every Republican president since Nixon has acted like one. It's funny that they always talk about 'tyranny' and whatnot, yet that's exactly the kind of government they vote for time and again.
As for flipping votes, I'm not too worried about hurting their feelings, or looking rude to the undecided. They dish it out as much as they take, and they win elections with divisive rhetoric all the time. I don't feel very bad about that, nor do I feel bad about giving them a little bit of the shit they gave us these past eight years. We listened to them bitch and protest, and now they have to listen to us bitch and protest -- only with much more support.
