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.

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

They knew

They're sorry now that it has affected them personally in some way

Trump is consistently and unrepentantly awful. So yeah, none of Trump's behavior has changed this person's mind. That leaves only effects of his actions.

Probably the weight of the Epstein Files could be the collapsing factor?

[–] Wiz@midwest.social 1 points 2 hours ago

We kinda knew about the Epstein thing in 2016 though. Of course Hilary couldn't pound that point, because she and Bill were Epstein buddies, too! Doh!

Apology not accepted.

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.

[–] JakenVeina@midwest.social 1 points 15 hours 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?

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

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

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