Still makes me sick to think people idolize donald. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
As a kid I I remember naively wondering how anyone could possibly be proud to be of house Slytherin; that it was kind of unrealistic. Boy was I wrong...
Yeah there are a lot of Trump supporters who may be good people at heart but are utterly uneducated, uninformed, misinformed, and overall just lack the critical-thinking to see the end-result.
... But there are a lot of people who are plenty smart enough to know better and support him just the same. These people sicken me the most. But you know, the Putins and Bundys of the world walk among us. Sometimes they're leaders; sometimes they're just shitty used car salesmen posting comments on youtube.
Trump isn't the first wannabe dictator. There are many dictators all over the world. It's unfortunate our would be dictator is such a fucking clown but well suited for how America warps everything to some bizarre extreme.
Yes, there are shitty people everywhere you go but to come out for donald is really telling how ugly they are on the inside.
I've said before but I gotta hand it to Trump and GOP for making a modern dunce gap to identify these people. It has been a great filter.
I feel ya, take some time, then continue the fight to make things better for the next generations.
