“ #Trump swing voters in Michigan focus group have buyers' remorse
"Erratic," "frightening," "disruptive" and "dictator" were among the words they used to describe their concerns.”

Good indicator that neither Trump nor top Republicans have much expectation of ever again having to face the voters. In fact, Trump repeatedly promised this would be the last election during his campaign.
@GottaLaff We warned them. Harris warned them. The FIRST TERM WARNED THEM.
I honestly cannot understand someone who would vote for Trump and then be surprised at the result. Who are these people and how do they survive on a daily basis?
@rmaloley @GottaLaff It’s Michigan. It’s a militia state full of iykyk sundown towns and Midwest nice. Of course there’s buyer’s remorse.
Am I jerk for feeling like swing-voters aren't serious people?
Well they're certainly not serious about politics
@GottaLaff@mstdn.social If only someone had warned them.
Clearly and repeatedly.
@GottaLaff Pretty sure Hillary Clinton used all those words.
@GottaLaff I'm very sorry for all the harm that these bad choices are resulting in. It sucks and is bad for a whole lot of people.
I'm not yet ready to feel sympathetic to the people who chose to burn it all down and now are finding themselves getting singed by the fires. Maybe I'll become more enlightened later ...
@colo_lee Sympathetic? Hell no. Why would ANYone feel sympathy for people who knew exactly what they'd get
@GottaLaff Also "Leopards" "face" "ate" "my"
@GottaLaff They ordered a shit sandwich and are angry it tastes like shit. These fucking people...
@GottaLaff
Gross error. Wrong choice that will cost the US dearly. Trust in alliances has already been broken. The destruction of international organizations is already a fait accompli. Trump is so much more disruptive than even Putin, his idol, could have imagined. Trump is a brainless egomaniac.
@GottaLaff Their remorse would've served a purpose if they hadn't voted for him in the first place, and now it is too late, and useless. The fatal deed is done.
@GottaLaff
They are finally using the word "dictator" ... I wonder if they fully believe it yet?
@GottaLaff Well isn’t that just too damned bad.
@GottaLaff Oopsie. Should have kicked the tires before buying.
Or kicked the Nazi in the face.
One of the two.
@GottaLaff This is nice but I'm not sure what practical effects it has *after* the last election he wasn't in charge of running.
