and pay fucking attention to the people running for office. This asshole showed us exactly who he was and what he was likely to do, or not do as President. It was very plain to see by anyone not an idiot, a complete racist asshat, or comatose that this guy was going to suck. They fell for his con and projected their own bullshit onto Trump, just as he planned for them to do. Now they are disappointed that they got Trump.

P***y grabbing wasn't vile enough? The violence at 45's campaign rallies didn't send up any flares? The news of Russian interference didn't deter them from pulling the lever for King Asshole? His out-and-out pandering to the worst of America?

As woebegone as this group says they are, if you sent them back in time (with the information they now possess), I suspect they'd still vote for tRump or possibly Gary Johnson. They're still right-wing Repubs.
