  1. Is anybody at all surprised?
  2. Fuck everyone who voted for this disgusting example of humanity. (Or thought they’re both the same, or didn’t think their vote mattered)

I have a “never trump” policy when it comes to people I associate with socially. You’re allowed to vote however you want but you cannot talk to me if you ever cast a vote in his direction.

Yup, the votes for the Senate, house, state Senate, house, board of education, all of those don’t matter either.

Narrow minded people sometimes. I swear

How other people vote is their business. That’s democracy. You gotta be a real self righteous piece of shit to believe they should vote how you tell them to. Trumpesque, even.

Don’t worry there’s plenty of innocent people in those inhumane prisons over there. When you suspend civil liberties to throw as many people into prison as possible without due process, innocent people getting swept up into the madness is a feature!
