    She’s right about the unity. I know there is some schadenfreud here, but at the end of the day if Trump voyers want to change their minds it’s a good thing.

      Do they want to change their mind, or are they upset it affected them?

      Don’t mistake short term anger for long term change. These people aren’t going to reevaluate their positions in life.

      Finally, one that says they wish they made a different choice. Unfortunately, if this didn’t happen to someone close to her, she would probably still be for this.

          except it fundamentally makes no fucking sense, deporting criminals isn’t good, it’s saying “Hey we don’t want to make sure these people can’t hurt others, you have them!”

          them thinking trump only wanted to deport criminals doesn’t make it better, it just makes it bad in a different way.

            I want to feel this way.

            But after so many years of this shit, one has no excuses to be this goddamned stupid at this point.

            We need to keep smashing their noses into the shit-pile they just made; ruthlessly and relentlessly. Mock them and ostracize them.

            I say this as someone who’s extremely conflict-avoidant: fuck coming together with these dipshits. If you drop a giant turd on my bed, we are going to have a problem, and I will not be nice to you about it.

            We won’t have real change in this country until people feel real deep, visceral, heartbreaking shame for what they have done to all of us - not just “oops, it affected me now, I change my mind” fauxpology. That’s not how it works, buttercup, fuck you.

          Every vote who vocalizes their regret is another nut for me. Every tear these morons spill, and every shudder of breath they experience as they sob is the same. If their media spun trump’s message in a certain direction, then it is ABSOLUTELY their fault for not inquiring more. The man ran on a fucking border wall to keep out immigrants last election. Why on earth would they not expect to be included in these violations of human rights? This will sound excessively harsh, but I hope she gets notice of her father’s passing on some sort of live stream, because viewing those tears live would be pure bliss on my end. Have the day you voted for has acquired a whole new meaning in her world.
