Trump regret syndrome is spreading like a wildfire as reality finally sets in

“I just kept watching,” a Republican acquaintance told me in disbelief. “And I just kept waiting, and waiting, and waiting for him to do something. Anything. I yelled, ‘Stand up for your country, for the love of God!’ And nothing. Not even a peep.”

“I’ve had it,” he said. “There is some shit I will not eat. I’m done apologizing for Donald J. Trump. Done.”

As a serving member in a state Republican Party organization, my acquaintance has taken a great amount of grief over the past three years. When Donald Trump first arrived on the political scene in 2015, he urged his colleagues to hear the billionaire mogul out. He appreciated the tough talk on immigration, the no-nonsense attitude that both differed from regular politicians and dared put them in their place. He thought Trump might not be the worst response to the Barack Obama presidency, which he considered weak and conciliatory.

After Trump wrested away control of the party from the GOP establishment, my acquaintance bought a Make America Great Again hat and slapped a Trump/Pence sticker on his car’s bumper. He met the nominee as a delegate to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland and rolls his eyes when his liberal colleagues and relatives post their Robert Mueller fantasies on social media. He’s stood by Trump when he criticized Gold Star families, waffled on condemning the neo-Nazis who rioted in Charlottesville and, until this week, has never so much as considered the possibility Trump had colluded with Russia.

“I’ve had it,” he said. “There is some shit I will not eat. I’m done apologizing for Donald J. Trump. Done.”

This repudiation was earned after Monday’s disastrous press conference in Helsinki, where President Trump stood side-by-side with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a despot who has cracked down on his citizens’ individual freedoms and has quite likely ordered the murders of dissidents, journalists and political opponents. It was bad enough, my acquaintance fumed, that Trump didn’t challenge Putin’s record, but the coup de grâce came when the president criticized U.S. intelligence agencies’ assertion that Russia interfered with our elections and instead supported Putin’s denial of meddling.

That disbelief echoed throughout the Republican Party on Tuesday, even as Trump half-heartedly tried to claim he had misspoken — an entirely typical non-denial denial. Trump supporters and critics alike struggled to wrap their heads around his bizarre display of deference to a tyrannical foreign leader. Republican congressional staffers told me privately they were still trying to come to terms with what had taken place in Helsinki. Some told me their worst suspicions had been realized, while Trumpian true believers wrestled with emerging doubt.

The problem with these people is they vote for dumb fucks after everyone tells them they are voting for a dumb fuck. It then takes them 2 to 6 years to realize they voted for a dumb fuck. The next election, they once again vote for a dumb fuck despite being told the are voting for a dumb fuck..

The Republican party has stupefied a large part of this nation's citizens and created a cult with members who will vote for them every time biased on party not logic or common sense.

These dumb fucks will get screwed in the ass, lose their house and livelihood and still vote Republican because they have been brainwashed into hating Democrats..

Just watch.. mid terms and the next POTUS they are gonna make issue of illegal immigration once again and tell them they lost their jobs because of Mexicans not because of Republican policy. It's the same MO every election... Republicans have used the Illegal immigrant card, the take your guns away card and tax you more card.. Time after time these dumb fucks fall for it and vote against their own interests.

The same inbred pig fuckers still voted for Bush the 2nd time around even though by then it was known to everyone him and Cheney lied to invade Iraq (even though Robbie says it was the CIA). That turned out well.

If Trump gets elected again our elections are rigged. Plain & simple

This last election 305 Elites in the 538 Electoral College annointed Trump despite the vast majority of Americans voting for his opponent

I have no sympathy for Trump supporters. Actually, I would call them enemies of the state for helping to put a Russian stooge in the White House. They're too fucking stupid to walk among the rest of us.

^^ Unproven conspiracy theory propagated by the Democrat media. You're falling for it.

What has Trump done to help Russians? Bomb the shit out of their mercenaries? Reduce Russia's share of the oil market? Tougher sanctions than any other president? The facts show that Obama and Hillary were in bed with the Russians.

But yeah, Trump's a Russian stooge, despite zero evidence.

I haven’t come across anyone who wishes they’d have voted for Hillary instead. Not one.

If you constantly make the claim that Trump’s supporters support him blindly, this doesn’t really do much to strengthen that notion.

In any cult you are going to have a few with some regrets, but the vast majority will stay loyal to their cult leader and drink the poisoned koolaid

Quit spreading propaganda please.

1) In the case of mercenaries, Russia knew exactly where US forces would bomb Syria, meaning they got exactly 0 casualties
2) Doesn't seem to work, Russia actually boosted its crude production
3) Sanctions...lol you kidding?

I hope you wake up from your delusion some day
