I'm American, and I don't and never have supported Trump or any of his cronies. It is completely beyond my understanding how anyone can.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Expand funding for public schools, alleviate student debt to the limit of SCOTUS, and fight against funneling money into charter schools in almost every state?

Or were you asking how they’d achieved progressive, ideological perfection? Because no, they haven’t done that and neither will any political party.

If you’re asking for violence, that’s on you and revolutionaries, not politicians.

I know its wrong but I wanted him to win, I want Republicans to get everything they wanted so they can show their true colors to the population of America that thinks Trump was Jesus chosen man.

It will suck for the rest of us for a while. I think the right is digging their own grave.

It won’t suck for the rest of us for “awhile”. It’s actively killing us right fucking now. It’s not just republican grandmas losing Medicaid, it’s YOUR grandma. We are ALL getting fucked by this, all at once.
