“The first thing for me was he didn’t release the Epstein files. They’re even acting like they didn’t exist,” he said, before moving on to his other grievances. “And, of course, they’re sending Israel and Ukraine all of our tax dollars just like the numb-nuts before him did. Putting America last, and now he’s blaming the beef farmers for the price of beef.”

Mitchell added, “Hey, I’m not biased, man. He talked a good game; he tricked me. I was fooled. I admit it.”

“Yeah, I do think that Donald Trump is that beast of Revelation 13:3.”

    As far as I understand it, it’s not like he regrets his bigotry or anything. He just regrets believing Trump would do anything about it. He’s mad that Trump isn’t fucking the right people in other words.

      Which is, genuinely, progress.

      He was voting for a guy who he thought embodied his (fucked up) values, and is now becoming aware that the guy only values himself and fucks everyone. Hopefully next time he will vote for a politician he can actually trust, and actually reflects his (bigoted) values at a meaningful level.

      He drew the line at Epstein and sending tax money to Israel/Ukraine. I’m actually impressed he noticed that that line had been crossed

      Presumably, this is the same thing that was going on in Charlie Kirk’s assassin’s head.
