"If Trump were a Democrat would you still hate him." Yes, he's an awful, shitty human being.

Just to clarify. I loathed him, before I even knew what party he might have affiliated with.
He was, to me, way back in the 80s, the epitome of what used to be called 'The Ugly American'.
I loathe him even more now.
I just want him gone.

Fuck trump

awful.

From the first time I saw him, heard his voice....that tone of voice he uses was the same one my abusive father used. He still makes my skin crawl when he speaks and he's devoid of anything that could reasonably be called humanity.

He's greed and malice personified.

The thing I don't get is that he ticks literally every box of the right wing religious people's "antichrist"...including the part where they all worship him with his mark on their foreheads, and yet, they still worship him.

I just ignore. That’s the one thing his attention seeking behavior is about. He fears 2 things, being laughed at and being ignored.
He does not live in my head.

Changed his party registration before running in 2016. Not sure how soon before though. Still hated him as a dem.

If he were a Democrat, I would have worked overtime to make sure he never made it past the primaries.

Democrats didn't respond to him. He got nowhere with the Dem base.

What does it say about Republicans that they are the ones who flocked to Trump? Nothing good.

Christian used to carry some weight. The references to respect for the political offices, faith values, honoring voters and all the rest of devalued identifiers has been swept away.

I detest djt and faux Democrats like Fetterman because whatever they call themselves they’ve betrayed America.

We all call him Festerman around here - and for good reason. It's a nickname he worked hard to earn.

A lot of Republicans view politics as a game where you support your team no matter what. You scream at the ref when they make a call against your team, whether it's valid or not. You accuse the other team of cheating when you lose.

They assume we hate Trump just because he's a Republican because they hate all Democrats just because they're Democrats.

They think differently than we do.

and I'm stealing "soup fork", lol

The con was a Democrat, a horrible racist, sexist, bigoted scumbag of a person, but he was a Democrat. It was the election President Obama that pushed him and many other horrible, bigoted white people over the edge.

He was never a good person. He was always a liar, a fraud, a jerk. Always.
