Many times during the election i thought i was one of the few people in this country that was still sane. Tens of millions of americans ignored the reality of trump. It was madness. It was like watching a sci-fi movie. Next week reality sets in. Its going to be brutal.
I believe some trump voters are beginning to recognize the reality of what they voted for. The hardcore trump voters will not get it until reality kicks their ass. The hardcore trump voter who has healthcare through the affordable care act and wants obamacare repealed will soon face reality. Dumb asses don't know they are the same.
Here are some examples of how people ignored reality. Trump said this to his voters and they ignored it.
I believe in torture. I want to do worse than water boarding.
More countries should have the bomb.
Asked russia to hack clintons emails.
Women should be punished for abortion.
I want to deregulate banks.
I want to give tax cuts to the rich and myself.
The media is corrupt.
Hillary is a crook and they ignored trump is a crook.
There are many more examples. They ignored all his conflicts of interests.
Next week reality takes hold. Because so many americans lost their minds and ignored reality we elected a man who is both stupid and not mentally well. He is unstable. Reality is going to be very brutal to all of us. Things are going to get very ugly.
In a recent post i said there was going to be many investigations. Its already started. Many more will follow.
Let me end with some good news. I believe there will be republicans in the senate that will turn against trump because of russia. They see trump as a threat. They will put country first. Trump said today he is open to lifting sanctions on russia. Can you imagine, he said that with all the investigations and anger about russia. He is stupid or crazy or both.

(2,573 posts)to catch himself and reel it in a little....so I don't think him lifting the sanctions is going to work for him with elected officials nor the American People. It sure would fit right into the perception that is out there. True or not it's all about perception...it can become reality. I already believe that Trashpot is compromised even though there is no proof....perception...just look what it did to Hillary Clinton.

(10,749 posts)I have a few friends/acquaintances who are - gasp - republicans. Long story. And they still post RW nonsense.
As one of the memes out there observes, The right wingers also lost - they just don't know it yet.

(7,770 posts)to inform themselves. About the Russian spy dossier for example. It's easy to google. It's not a made up thing. Also if everybody is going to roll over and die-what is the point of anything?
As I said on another thread anybody that thinks Pence is the same as Trump hasn't paid attention.
Thanks for the good news-that's what I'm hoping too. Maybe Republicons even love their children! According to DU it's hopeless and I should slit my wrists.
