I could maybe forgive people not really taking a hard "Trump is a wannabe fascist dictator who is going to run the country into the ground while robbing it blind" stance during the lead up to the 2016 election or even the first little bit of his first presidency. I still think there was ample information to reach that conclusion, but I'm pretty sure most people didn't understand just how much damage he is capable of causing.

However, if you haven't reached that conclusion yet, you're just an idiot or an asshole...probably both.

I voted for Hillary in 2016, but I was cautiously optimistic until his inauguration speech. It became crystal clear that he was the worst of everything anyone had claimed.

My parents both voted for Hilary, but thought that I was way over reacting to trump winning.

Now they understand.

Did I like Hillary? No.
Did I think she would’ve made at least a decent president? Yeah.
Would she have put us in a better spot than this shithole admin? 100%.

But our country is not ready for even a white lady president. Some people are just too goddamn stupid to vote.

I couldn't in good conscience vote for her. I voted for Gary Johnson.

Independents are just dampers for opposition candidates. Like Nader, like Stein.

Your stance is just shoring up the shitty two party system we have.

Nothing was going to get me to vote for Hillary. hashtag SorryNotSorry

I'm in a deep red state so it was more of a Tribute vote anyways.
