It's sad, cause I empathize with the Republicans who supported him in the first election. Not having these endorsements and still being able to win should be an excellent thing. I mean, I want a candidate that's so far out of the mainstream that it makes the establishment scared. The establishment sucks and is doing a lot to ruin the country, being in the pocket of the oil lobbies, never even criticizing how we spend our taxes on our military and being so bought by the medical companies that we are quickly becoming one of the last countries to make the obvious choice to fund healthcare with taxes.
Unfortunately, Trump ended up being just a spineless strong man that only made these problems worse.
But the truth was evident also before the first time he was elected. Trump was a high wealth grifter and everyone knew it. They just expected him to hurt the right people. In the end he ended up hurting everyone except the filthy rich.
It was obvious that would happen too. They're just gullible rubes.
You'll get no argument from me. I'm just dissapointed by myself that, I always seem to be caught off guard by the fact some people would rather hurt themselves if this means the people they hate will get shafted worse.
