"I just want to apologize to everybody in the country for supporting this rotten, rotten man," said a three-time Trump voter who called in to C-SPAN.

Oh, it personally affected you? Now he's rotten.

Yes, let's condemn him for realizing his mistakes, apologizing, and trying to better himself. I'm absolutely sure that will encourage others to do the same.

Nah, let's condemn him for voting for Trump.

There was forgiveness for electing him once. I will never forgive his supporters for round 2. I don't give a fuck about their apologies. If they need my absolution to change their minds, then they aren't really repentant anyways.

Apology not accepted.

Everyone is bound to eventually hate him, because it is as if he is going through every group in the world and giving them a middle finger one after the other. One day it is Canadians, the next USA farmers, then Greenland, then posting racist memes. Sometimes he sits up all night posting hateful nonsense about people like Rosie O'Donnell or Treveor Noah. It's exhausting how much of a hater he is.

BUT it is other haters who enabled Trump. It is a deep cultural rot that needs addressing, namely the evil excesses of capitalism and racism.

"Fool me three times... well, once its impossible for you to be able to change for fix things, then only THEN will I apologize."

They will still vote Republican I guarantee it

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

They saw Jan 6 and still voted for this. They'll go back for sure.

Someone who voted for Trump three times is a rotten rotten person.

Too late, you own him. Take care of your mess you fucking fuck.

[–] JakenVeina@midwest.social 1 points 1 week ago

We don't want an apology. We want change. In you and in the country.

Are you ready to recognize the greater problem? That the ENTIRE party is equally as "rotten" as he is?

Are you going to take action against the damage you caused?

While they are few we still get maga dumb trumps calling for us to stop protesting and love the trumpy president. I live in the very blue too. I wish they could all wake up.
