It Might Not Have Mattered

A month ago, at the latest, was the time that Americans should have realized the truth. But it might not have mattered, because too many of them are unwilling to listen. 

They don't want someone to tell them the truth. They want someone to tell them, "Vote for me, and I will give you what you want."

And what they want is to be treated as better than nonwhite people, because they are white; as better than women, because they are men; as better than people of other religions, because they claim to be Christian; and as better than people who are on the LGBT spectrum, because they are not. 

They wouldn’t care if grocery and gas prices remained high for others, as long as you say, "Vote for me, and those prices will come down for you." 

They are so angry and desperate that they won't even consider that the candidate is lying. And they won't consider that his record is the office -- and he does have one -- proves that he doesn't know how to do it.

But it wasn't just people in the majority categories:

2011: Trump demands to know where President Black Man was born.

2016: Trump runs for President on calling Mexicans criminals and banning Muslims from entering America.

2017, 2018 and 2020: Trump appoints the Supreme Court Justices that overturn Roe v. Wade.

2024: White women, black men, Hispanic men and Muslims forget these things.

The cry of every conservative, eventually, is, "But I didn't think the Republican I voted for was going to hurt me!"

It's like the old line about the trees voting for the axe, because its handle was made of wood, and it told the trees that it was one of them.

Buyers' remorse? Am I supposed to have sympathy for these people? I do not.
