“We voted for Trump, not realizing that he was going to slam as hard as he did, but it was on day one when he sat down, right after inauguration, and started signing those executive orders and just trashed us federal employees, it was a kick in the teeth,” Ron said.
“That point was the beginning of my turning away from MAGA.”
“If people would just listen and research and do something other than just listen to Fox News, we may all be better off, but it’s going to take an open mind and an ability to say, ‘I made a mistake,’ because once you say you made a mistake, you can turn the ship around,” said Chrissey Kelley, 50, a stay-at-home mom.
Ah yes, as a Federal employee, why don’t I vote for the party that constantly says they want to reduce the federal government, or as Bannon says, “tear down the administrative state”. Wow I am surprised. What fucking morons. I really doubt whether all of a sudden they’re intelligent and well informed.
If the boot’s ever lifted even a little, he’ll be asking for it to come back down again just you wait. Never surprising to watch idiots make the same mistakes continuously.
Like the axiom “Americans can be counted on to do the right thing once they’ve exhausted all other options”, conservatives often figure out a politician they supported was a scumbag… TOO LATE. After they’ve elected them like 5 times, then it’s “hey maaan this guy is crooked” or whatever. Bush is a great example. All of a sudden in 2008, after their rabid “you hate America! Love it or leave it! Support the troops!” crap that that went on for 7 years, it became “well I never really liked him much…”
That’s been going on for my entire lifetime, and likely before.
Most Americans simply don’t see how bad it is because they (and their parents) have been immersed in that environment for their entire lives. It’s all they know.
