So what, you want a gold star for seeing what was always there for everyone to see? It’s all been bullshit since 1980, and when GHW Bush (still be best president of my life) tried to pull it back in 1990 the party spat him out. Trump just dropped the facade and held up a mirror, and like 10% of you guys didn’t like what you saw.
So it’s funny- I was on Hornfans with these cats 20+ years ago when they were all normie Republicans. When they told me the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts would pay for themselves, when they participated in “operation chaos” in 2008 because Obama was a secret black nationalist, when they cheered for Citizens United because more free speech, when they pretended “maccaca” wasn’t a racial slur because Jim Webb was a radical leftist, when they defended medmal caps because they would lower healthcare costs, and on and on.
Oh, but Trump, sure. You could live with Intellectual bankruptcy and moral confusion, but not the vulgarity of living out loud. Yes, it must all be very traumatic. Project what you want onto Democrats, but maybe this would be more productive between you and your therapist.
