In reply to the discussion: "I don't want to hear ONE FUCKING COMPLAINT from ANY Trump voters" [View all]haele
(14,147 posts)82. When Apartheid fell, the South Africans decided to go with a Truth and Reconciliation program...
The majority of South Africans grumbled, but accepted that racist (and classiest) autocracy had been holding their country corrupt and in poverty; and punishing otherwise neutral people for circumstances of their birth in that society wouldn't keep the country moving forward.
They punished the worst offenders, attempted to recover some of what was lost to the corruption, and have been trying to move forward, opening up opportunities that weren't available before.
But Mob Bosses, like Plantation Owners, always think they are owed everything they stole from their prey or captive workforce.

I think it's OK to indulge that feeling for about 30 seconds and then we have to turn our efforts from pumping our chest

Most I hear from are celebrating lies from Fox and from the orange bamboo himself.

Most Trump voters will just blame all bad results on Democrats, Radical Leftists, etc.
