    I voted for the slob 3 times. He officially crossed the line this time. About 40 times. Fuck this guy, man. So much for “no more wars”… and quite literally every single other thing he promised. I’m used to that with presidents, but dang, man. He REALLY fumbled every ball, and he’s having them launched at him.

      Can you explain what made you vote for him 3 times? Because that’s something I honestly don’t understand.

      The first time I can understand. It was already known how corrupt he was, but most of the media ignored it and I can understand how you didn’t know. But surely after his first term, it must have been pretty clear what a terrible person he was? How corrupt he was?

      Many members of his own cabinet, people who believed and supported him, spoke out against him. Mattis, McMaster, Tillerson, Pence, Bolton, Kelly and tons of others pointed out his incompetence, his corruption and his extremism.

      I can forgive voting for him once, because you didn’t know. But 3 times!? How does that happen?

        Because I wanted serious change. And to a point, I got it. Unfortunately, we became Israel’s warmongering lapdog and either got promises 25% fulfilled, or forgotten about entirely. Why are you insulting me?

            His political platform is more that of a late 80s early 90s Dem. Far less the ist-phobe German National Socialist you claim.

          I just don’t understand how any person could vote for him more than once. It wasn’t a secret that he is totally incompetent, spiteful and extremely stupid after just a couple days of him being in charge the first time. His first term was a clown show where he continuously fired his staff. If you somehow think he’s going too far only now, then frankly it says a lot about you and your lack of sense, empathy and political literacy.

          His values have constantly shown that he is sexist, racist, greedy, slovenly and generally hateful. If you have voted for him three times, frankly, you probably are those things as well.

                I’m kinda curious as to what it must have felt like. I suppose the phrase would be “morbid curiosity”.

                Also I kind of wish I would have voted the second time and that he would have won the first second time. So we would have only had 8 years of Trump instead of the +12 we are going to get.

            Because I am not a Democrat, nor a leftist in any way. I do not stand for their ridiculous shit the same way I do not stand for what Trump is now doing. Believe it or not, people can have different views from you. The fact you don’t understand that says a lot more about your intelligence than my own. Relax, bud.

              I honestly wonder in what way you think the Democrats are worse than the Republicans. Even before Trump turned the Republicans into a clown show, it was the party of greed, selfishness and corruption. Bush lied to start a war with Iraq. Reagan destroyed the middle-class because rich people needed to get richer. They’ve supported wars for oil, lies about the environment, sinking people deeper into debt.

              I completely agree that the Democrats are not always great, but at their worst, they’re almost as bad as the Republicans. Never worse. Everything bad they’ve done, the Republicans have done worse.

              Remember everyone. He doesn’t believe in everyone having affordable access to healthcare. He doesn’t believe in free or subsidized education. He doesn’t believe in fair wages. He doesn’t believe in affordable housing for all. He doesn’t believe in human rights.

              That’s all “ridiculous shit”. You’re a loser dude.

              Genuinely curious what the ridiculous shit is in your eyes. I generally see most people want the same end goals (better lives for all/most) and the nuances are just in the execution.

                Pretty much everything now. I am NOT a fan of Israel, first off. Not to mention he didn’t follow through with any of the things he started. I personally do not like this country being absolutely flooded with illegal immigrants and all of our jobs being swooped up by underpaid H1Bs, etc. My area with the largest industrial park in the whole country is a total nightmare now. I don’t really care if you feel a moral obligation to think the opposite, so don’t bother. I will be avoiding this sub now. It’s just as violently retarded as Reddit’s r/politics. Got it blocked now. See ya!

                  Took a while, but we finally found why they voted for trump 3 times. Racism.

                  And it is this sentiment that will keep you voting for shysters and con-men and voting against your own best interest.

                  Their “everything is a nail because I have a hammer” approach to everything stops all conversation.

          Fuck your feelings. You remember that? You’ve thrown in with a cult that has been singly focused on being as destructive and as obnoxious as humanly possible for over a decade, and now you’re getting your feelings hurt? Did you actually believe that Donald “losers and suckers, I prefer people who didnt get captured” Trump was anti-war? Then you are, or at least were, a moron.

                Now this is an awesome comment. Also I love your name.

                I would also enjoy the real shame is that they weren’t shot into their mother’s ass. Because their entire life has been shit. Also a lot of 6th graders on badwomensanatomy might believe that is how babies are born.

                Another fun one might be “shot onto their mother’s glasses”. Because facials are fun.

              You do realize you voted for a rabid angry man 3 times? So the response to there being a rabid angry hateful man is anger. I think that is more than justified

      Man admits he voted for Trump three times on a platform filled with left-leaning views and then is surpised he gets taken for task.

      If this isnt a troll, boy you walked into this one. Then again, you fell for a conman three times in a row.

      He’s been fumbling balls since before he was elected in 2016, what made you think he would be a good potus? Why was his string of failures in 2016 not enough for you to not vote for him 2 more times?

      I have had this thought the last few years. I have had 3 chances to vote for Trump. What would it have been like to vote for him once? I mean,once would have had to have felt good right?

      But I’ve missed my chances. Wonder who we will get to vote for next
