I can 100% forgive people who voted for him the first time around but later realized that was a mistake.
We’ll have to excuse them if we don’t want to label them.
But frankly speaking, if people realised what a disaster Trump was going to be the first time round, while not living in the US, being a citizen or even being eligible to vote in the USA, then how come your fellow countryman didn’t know better.
I remember showering to a German song titled (translated) “Hurra, the world is going to end” the day the result of the elections 2016 were published.
If you never watched his show, heard about the lawsuits against him, knew anyone he stifted on payments, heard him interviewed on Howard Stern or heard him speaking at rallies, sure.
That’s actually a chunk of the population. They don’t really care about politics but people they know who do are republicans and tell them what they think.
My family is republican, so I have to occasionally watch second hand fox news. THEY NEVER LET TRUMP SPEAK FOR LONG. Seriously, it’s only 5 second clips, then back to the anchors that then tell their audience what to think about Trump. Whenever they interview him, they’re quick to cut the feed if she starts going senile.
Before 2016 I didn’t know much about him aside from he’s a rich dude with a golden tower who used to host a show. I can see someone not really paying attention i. 2016 and voting for him just because.
