    They were manipulated. We should be thrilled when they wake up, not berating them for not waking up sooner.

    Sure. At an arms length.

    Just because a lot of people have come out to say they regret their vote let’s see what these same people do in November. If they just carry on with the status quo of “Yeah, I know I regret voting for Trump two years ago, but I’ll still vote for the party that supports him”, they should not be forgiven. We should not be thrilled they “woke up” because they didn’t. Their tiny peanut brain had a quick surge of reality where Trump might be a bigoted piece of shit but they’ll still gleefully vote for every member of Congress and The Senate who tows the Trump line because they’re too stupid to realize the gravity of the whole thing.

    It’s truly amazing to me how I’m Canadian and I understand the US Government more than the majority of Americans, apparently.
