"You're goddamned right we're mad."

'You're just mad because he won the 2016 election!' - conservative 'one size fits all' rebuttal to every criticism levied against Trump.
You're goddamned right we're mad. During the 2016 election, everyone on planet earth except Trump's cult was already becoming aware of Russian election meddling. Then we witnessed Trump publicly welcome that interference. And then we all watched Michael Flynn, followed by a host of other Trump contemporaries getting indicted for failing to file as foreign agents and then lying about it with stains from Trump's spray tan still lingering on the inaugural podium.
Then we learn that Obama's plan to formally announce Russia's election interference, which was corroborated by several intelligence agencies amongst ourselves and our closest allies, was stifled by Mitch McConnell, who threatened to attack those allegations relentlessly as a politically motivated hoax. A display of Trumpian loyalty that got McConnell's wife a cabinet position heading the Dept. of Transportation.
And then we all watched conservative Christians who spent years whining about where Bill Clinton stuck his dick suddenly go deaf and dumb when Trump paid off a porn actress and a nude model while lying about it to TV reporters.
Trump has been a slow motion train wreck ever since being sworn into office. Tax breaks for private planes and golf courses, refusal to release his taxes after promising to do so if elected. Dangling pardons whenever his corrupt collaborators stared down the barrel of our legal system as well as our constitution. Openly calling for foreign interference to safeguard his personal greed while desperately fueling Putin's wet dreams by burning every conceivable bridge between our nation and it's most loyal allies.
Winning the election wasn't what angered us the most. The flashpoint was Trump's unbridled enthusiasm to meet and then exceed our most cynical predictions regarding the damage he would do if given the opportunity. And he started doing that during the primaries before the election was held.
So go ahead and wave your one-size-fits-all rebuttal within the safe confines of your cult. The pendulum is beginning to swing back. And the first thing that's going to be severed is the myth that republicans know what to do with power when it's given to them. The second thing that's going to be severed is the myth that they have any inclination or ability to figure that out for themselves while learning on the job. Perhaps they'll figure it out once it's been permanently stamped on the termination notices currently being written by their employers.
And seriously, at this point does it really matter when those notices started being written?

It's that he's an abusive piece of shit, drunk with power, out of control, and a compulsive liar. And every attempt to keep him in check, he bullies, name calls, rage tweets, and abuses anyone who is not him and doesn't have their lips placed firmly on his ass.
He's just a liar, a bully, and an asshole. He's equal parts Eric Cartman and Nelson Muntz. And he's backed with a group of supporters who think he is the second coming of Jesus. It's madness. 
Exactly right! P.O.'d to the farthest edge of the Universe and back!
