    It took you this fucking long to realize he was a fucking racist?

    Not to mention, that’s your line!?

    Not the trolling, the threats to other sovereign nations, the plunging economy, the loss of trust in the USA, the page after page of him raping children, the lies, the use of federal forces on citizens… It’s the racism that put you over the edge?

    Fuck this guy. He’ll probably vote R down the ballot in November.

      These people live in a bubble. That’s their line because they don’t see that other stuff, or when they do they see it through a very specific framing.

      They were manipulated. We should be thrilled when they wake up, not berating them for not waking up sooner.

        Sure. At an arms length.

        Just because a lot of people have come out to say they regret their vote let’s see what these same people do in November. If they just carry on with the status quo of “Yeah, I know I regret voting for Trump two years ago, but I’ll still vote for the party that supports him”, they should not be forgiven. We should not be thrilled they “woke up” because they didn’t. Their tiny peanut brain had a quick surge of reality where Trump might be a bigoted piece of shit but they’ll still gleefully vote for every member of Congress and The Senate who tows the Trump line because they’re too stupid to realize the gravity of the whole thing.

        It’s truly amazing to me how I’m Canadian and I understand the US Government more than the majority of Americans, apparently.

        They were manipulated.

        If I applied that argument to drunk drivers you’d be as forgiving ?

        That aside, we’re all manipulated, it’s relegions resson de entre for example, but why wern’t they manipulated by people kindness, togetherness etc ? 80% literally dont care about good and evil.

        Kurt Vonnegut, on Susan Sontag

        She was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80 percent could be moved in either direction.

    More hard hitting reporting from clickbait ad heavy rawstory. Supporter of former president says he’s a dick. No kidding. /s

    Rawstory is a garbage site. Might as well read articles about what the social media wits have been saying like on huffington post.

            Why so you can check when the news article you comment on that doesn’t actually say anything isn’t commented on?

    “Voted for the president, supported him, but I really want to apologize,” John said. “I mean, I’m looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. All this man does is tell lies. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he’s being a racist.”

    “This is not a decent man,” he added. “This is not an honest man. He openly takes bribes. He’s pathetic as a president. And I just want to apologize to everybody in the country for supporting this rotten, rotten man.”

    C-SPAN host Greta Brawner wondered if the man voted for Trump in all three presidential elections.

    “I did,” he admitted. “I was sucked into the stupidity of creating jobs. And there are no more jobs in New Mexico. Things are worse than they were before.”

    There must be a path to redemption, and this man appears to be on it.

      It wasnt when he said Hatians were eating the cats and dogs?

      It wasnt when he referred to other places as “shithole” countries?

      It wasnt when he said people like AOC should go back to their own country?

      It wasnt when he has called Somali immigrants low IQ? Said they were all frauds and we dont want them in our country? That we should deport them all?

      It wasnt even referring to Mexican immigrants as rapists and murders?

      No honestly fuck this guy. This man showed us who he was for the past decade and you said three different times “Yes, this is the person I want leading our country”. But hey this video well this video was over the line. Also I would hazard a guess that he will still vote Republican because Trump is the problem not the entire Republican party that is subservient to him.

      I actually agree. He wiped off his clown make-up.

      It’s sad it took this long, but if enough people have this kind of realization, then the country may still heal. It’s one less person squabbling with others in the same class, and I’m led to believe that is what the ruling class fears most.

    It took you THREE election cycles where you voted for him in each one to figure this out?! Sparky’s apparently not the sharpest knife in the kitchen.

    Damn Obama was a lot more popular among conservatives than I thought. None of the other racist shit he’s said about black politicians (mostly women) has gotten this strong of a response.
