      how is this article not from 2016? What is wrong with these people?

    2. Cyndakill88 on

      Finally speaking up when barring some dark miracle this is the last time we will be dealing with trump as a candidate? Where were these people after trumps first year in office? So brave of them/s

    4. Venturis_Ventis on

      That’s what happens after waking up from cult-style brainwashing. Better late than never.

      I’m gonna go against the grain here and say “WELCOME BACK TO SANITY YALL”

      Yeah well he’s losing now. He’s not any shittier than he was, but now they’re pretty sure he can’t win, so now they express their disgust.

      Fuck the GOP. Fuck MAGA. Fuck Trump. Vote them out of existence.

      Life long conservative, 2 time Trump voter here. This is true of SO many of us who held our nose. I’ll add that I’m committed to not voting for any other republicans who supported J6 or the contested election.

      Liberty before party.

      But they will still vote for all of his enablers and worshipers.

      A lot of you folk didn’t read the article. One of the Republicans realized he made a mistake back in 2016 and has been trying to convince other Republicans ever since. The other realized later after January 6th. These are the people we’re always lamenting about:

      “What’s it going to take to snap Republicans out of their insanity???”

      Well, these two have done so and they’re being ostracized, threatened, and doxxed for it by their former peers.

      Yes, damage has been done to this country and its citizens by their votes. But it seems they’re well aware of that fact. Amazing that we’ll post all day about ‘needing every vote we can get’ and then shit on people when those much needed votes come from former-Trump supporters.

      It’s shameful behavior more belonging to MAGA than reasonable, responsible Democratic voters looking to pull our country back to more sane and peaceful politics. Republicans need an exit ramp back to reality, Harris is wise enough to provide that to them as Trump has spent the last week sowing hatred and violence on an explicit level we’ve scarcely seen from him since the Muslim bans.

      Why don’t we take a page out of Harris’s book instead of Trump’s?

      Sorry, folks my amnesty offer for Trump supporters ended on January 7th, 2021.

      If you didn’t realize on that day that he should never ever be supported again, then you will forever be known as a moron and a traitor.

      Trump’s 30% immovable base is the impacted bowel obstruction, there for
      the racism, misogyny, and homophobia. The frothy diarrhea on top that makes the race close are just in it for the tax cuts. How covered in shit are the willing to be for a few dollars? Very, apparently. Fucking gross.

    12. dml550 on

      Just for fun, does anyone have a link to a similar article from the other side? You know, that group of Democrats who have FINALLY had enough of all this trying to hold on to our constitution and addressing problems of people who aren’t rich?

    13. The_River_Is_Still on

      Now that he’s going to get crushed in the election, they say ‘oh my goodness, this is a bad man…………………….’

      Never vote Republican. Trump and Vance are THEIR nominees. They LET THEM RUN despite being grossly unqualified.

    14. sugarlessdeathbear on

      They’re against the demagogue because they don’t like his behavior, not because they disagree with him. Clearly no one is going to change their vote over someone acting like an ass. Maybe sharing what the negative impacts of what Trump did would have more effect.

    15. Iamthelizardking887 on

      I voted for McCain when I turned 18, and voted Romney 4 years later.

      Donald Trump turned me more liberal than any college professor, Antifa member or feminist activist ever could.

      > recent polling shows that Trump still is perceived as more moderate than he is in reality.

      🤯🤦🏼‍♀️

      > Convincing lifelong Republicans to jump ship isn’t easy. Conway said “tribal instinct is strong” among Republican voters and it may be hard for some to stray from the pack. Indeed, since Nix began sharing his experience and campaigning against Trump, he’s felt incredibly isolated within the Republican movement. He’s been cut off by friends, removed from email lists, and excluded from right-wing circles, he said.

      > **“Each day I wake up and think, ‘I can’t possibly be more depressed, disgusted and horrified,’ and each day I’m surprised to find I am,” he said.**

      I think that most of us can relate to this particular sentiment.

      > Sweetser too has had isolating and even dangerous experiences. His home address was released online and seen by over 100,000 people. His wife received via text message from an anonymous number.

      > “It is what it is, you know? **The more threats, the more I feel that it’s important to continue to speak out,”** Sweetser said.

      What I can’t understand is if you take Trump and unfortunately the majority of the current Republican Party, burn it, and some sense of normalcy rises from the ashes, I would potentially vote for a Republican candidate, because frankly I don’t give a shit about “party”. What are you offering? What’s you plans and policy, legit, not fucking concepts of a plan in 2 weeks….I know lots of people that usually vote Dem feel the same way.

      That said… I know an almost equal amount of people that will NEVER vote for a Dem, no matter what. These aren’t troglodytes (well, some are).

      There is a big difference, and it’s not all ideology.

    20. theaceoffire on

      Oh? Will you vote for someone else then?

      “Huh? Why would we do that?” ~Republicans.

    21. ChaoticFluffiness on

      There is maga and there is Republican. The Republican Party is dead. Those attached to that label are finally beginning to accept the fact that their beloved party has been hijacked.

    23. Tackytxns on

      They need to be the loudest voice until election day, they can possibly reach those that are not completely brain washed.

    24. freediverx01 on

      Only NOW are they depressed, disgusted, and horrified with Trump? Seems to me the only thing that’s changed is his plummeting popularity, because everything evil and disgusting about him has been consistent throughout his life and political career.

    25. nosayso on

      Dude botched COVID, did J6 and then people showed up and voted for Republicans to take the House at midterms and elected him as the Republican nominee for the presidential ticket.

      I’ve seen this same shit after the Pussy Tapes and 100 times since, I’ll believe it when I see it, don’t count on these people to suddenly discover Trump is a conman and human decency actually matters.

    26. Galactic-Guardian404 on

      Most Trump voters will lie later and say they didn’t vote in 2024.

    27. MK5 on

      Zero sympathy. They knew what he was from the moment he oozed down his golden escalator and ranted about immigrants to the crowd he payed to be there.
