I have zero sympathy for the Trump voter who got screwed by Steve Mnuchin.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Zero, none, nada, null...

[babylonsister]

1. I have sympathy.

I think we should. I think many will be changing their tune as time goes on. Why ostracize them?

I can muster up plenty of anger for Mnuchin.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. She said she still wouldn't vote for Hillary.

She voted for a racist, a nativist, an anti-semite, a misogynist and , and a xenophobe because she thought there was something in it for herself. She was willing to throw others under the bus to improve her station in life.


I also don't have sympathy for people who voted for Hitler. Why should I give people who voted for Trump a pass? Because they are American?

[DesertFlower]

10. i agree. i have no sympathy

for anyone who voted for him. they're racists like him.

[Lucky Luciano]

11. Yup. nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. Chris Hayes didn't even ask her. She just had to volunteer she still wouldn't vote for Hilary.

[DesertFlower]

13. he should have asked if trump's

racist remarks bothered her.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. If she was honest she would have said she didn't care because he was attacking someone else.

[DesertFlower]

15. unfortunately that's probably how

his supporters feel.

[Rincewind]

26. Up until she said that,

I had some sympathy, but none afterwards.

[True_Blue]

21. ITA!

She doesn't give a damn about anyone but herself. Just like every other repub I know. Perfectly willing to let others suffer and die if it benefits them in some way.

[madaboutharry]

29. You are correct.

I heard her explain her vote. It was BS straight out of Fox News.

[baldguy]

33. Can't fix stupid.

If they go to cut off a tree limb and you warn them that it'll land on their car, and they go ahead and do it anyway, you might feel some sympathy. But when they cut the next limb and it crashes through their living room window, not so much.

We've been warning them about those Republican tree limbs for 40 yrs.

[Adrahil]

37. Yup.

People who voted for Trump because they think he will make the economy "better," whatever that means, are basically the people who voted for Hitler because he would make the trains run on time.

[MFM008]

4. Sorry

She deserves it AND deserves it first.
Before they take health care from my mother and she DIES.
The are deplorable and deserve this.

[napi21]

2. I don't either. I'm 73 and I saw rightt through the Con. She should have known too!

I bet IF the real story comes out, she will be outed as a strong Rightie. and believed the Con because he was a Prbug after all, and Repugs don't lie.

Not to worry lady, you'll have a whole lot of disappointed voters, right behind you, cryin' in their beer.

[Xipe Totec]

5. Another proud graduate of Trump University

Thoroughly schooled.

[world wide wally]

6. I have to confess that I get a perverse pleasure when I see a Trump supporter and I know how

much they have fucked themselves and they'll be finding that out soon enough. Then suddenly, the thrill is gone as I realize they fucked me too.

[Adrahil]

38. Schadenfreude.

I admit I do too. Pain is coming. I can at least feel some dark pleasure when that pain hurts the people who brought it to us.

[Warpy]

7. I do because we got the same bait and switch

when Obama appointed Summers and Geithner. I know how it feels. At that point, a lot of us knew the change we'd hoped for was illusory and now all the fools who voted for Trump thinking he'd change things are realizing they got conned.

Obama had a whole lot more to offer and he delivered much of it. Trump has nothing else to offer and he's probably going to deliver on that, too.

This is in no way a slam of Obama, who remains a remarkably good president. It's only to say that government by Goldman Sachs is here to stay for another four years, no matter what we the people might have to say about it, especially the fools who believed a rich man like Trump was going to derail his own gravy train.

It hurts.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. She voted for a racist, a nativist, an anti-semite, a misogynist and , and a xenophobe.

My lack of pity goes way beyond her buyers remorse.

[Tanuki]

20. She's also an immigrant (from England), so her apparent indifference to his anti-immigrant

bluster is especially galling.

[JI7]

24. from england so i assume she is white

you know when they complain about immigrants they mean mainly brown people including those who are here legally and born here.

[BuddyCa]

31. I agree

about Summers and Geithner, about Obama being a good president despite that, and about how these things relate to the OP.

[C_U_L8R]

9. She probably fell for that "compassionate conservative" crap

that Junior Bush was peddling too.

[Boomerproud]

16. What's that German word I'm looking for....

Schnauzer? Nope.

[Bleacher Creature]

17. Mnuchin was the Trump campaign's finance chair.

His appointment didn't come out of nowhere and I, too, have zero sympathy for those morons.

[LandrosT]

18. Me neither

But my lack of sympathy extends to ALL the idiots who voted for the orange monster. I hope each and every one of them realizes they've all been duped, though I'm not holding my breath on that one.

[BlueStater]

19. I concur.

After the hell these dumbasses have unleashed on our country, I'm not in a remotely forgiving mood.

[Behind the Aegis]

22. I don't either.

There is a difference in being happy about someone getting screwed over and simply not caring, basically, she got what she paid for. She paid an ice cream man to perform her surgery because, he was like a doctor...he wears a white coat. I am not going to "feel bad" for someone who purposely ignored all the signs because...for what ever fucking reason she chose. This isn't even a case of being "bamboozled" the psychopath-elect was very clear.

[leftyladyfrommo]

23. That is what makes it hard.

I live in a red state-Missouri. I know a lot of these people. I know a lot of them are uneducated. I know they believe all the conspiracy theories.

But Trump was just so obviously a very twisted man. And it was so obvious what he was really like. And they voted for him anyway.

I don't feel sorry for them.

But I do feel sorry for the other millions of us that are caught up in this mess.

The Democrats are going to have to clean up another horrible mess just like we always have to after a Republican president.

[Behind the Aegis]

27. Truth.

I am in a red state, Oklahoma. I have the same encounters with people who are not evil, some aren't even racists, but they were so easily duped by an obvious snake-oil salesman. I don't know what it was like in your area, but in my county, VERY red, I saw almost no signs supporting him! It wasn't like any previous election...ever. They knew.

I also agree, it will be up to the democrats to clean up the mess, just like after Bush Sr. and "w". The only problem I am still seeing is the democrats are still refusing to see their culpability in this disaster. The arrogance and denial coming from our direction is palatable. "Business as usual" is not going to work. The polarization of the country has made the process that much more difficult.

The "new normal" is about to become much more frightening for many people.

[leftyladyfrommo]

34. I am not really all that scared.

We lived through Nixon and Cheney. Cheney was really evil and did a lot of damage.

Trump is already really screwing up. I really believe the powers that be in Congress will get control of him. He is no match for McConnell and some of those other power brokers.

But I am worried about the effect of this bunch on women's rights and the safety net.

I just keep cheering for Schumer and Warren and Bernie and the other democratic firebrands. I will do whatever I can to help back them. And I think Hillary will be back fighting once she gets her shit back together.

[Adrahil]

36. Cheney wasn't....

In the position to create a secure majority conservative court for decades. This is gonna get ugly.

[leftyladyfrommo]

41. We have had a conservative court

for as long as I can remember.

Except for Thomas, I still think the judges currently on the court are going to recognize the danger to our democracy. They may be conservative but I don't think they are stupid. I really don't.

[Stellar]

25. I'm with you!!!

[Nwgirl503]

28. Don't waste time feeling sorry

Besides her voting choice, general ignorance seems to be a running theme in her life. She got in the situation originally due to payments on a reverse mortgage. Clearly she's susceptible to making poor choices that contradict her own best interests based on something "sounding good". Her situation is a form of Natural Selection.

I won't waste my energy feeling sorry. People like this aren't who I want on my side. The best they represent is basic quantity...there will never be any quality with them. In this fight, we need quality and to then build our quantity. We need to expend our energy on soon-to-be or newly minted voter age groups. We need to engage the ones who didn't come out to vote. We need to focus on the ones who are teachable.

Screw house-losing grammy. She's a lost cause.

[Cha]

30. She got bamboozled and brainwashed by a gd carney barker..

Suckers born every minute and they fucked up our country.

My sympathy is for those who are going to get hurt bad by trump and his band of marauding chiselers and thieves.

[putitinD]

32. Low information voters

[lonestarnot]

40. In this case, zero information voter.

[Adrahil]

35. I'm with you.

They were warned over and over and over again that this "man" is a blatant fraud. Got suckered anyway. Care-o-meter: 0.

[Fla Dem]

39. She's only 59, she's going to regret it even more when there's no Soc. Security or Medicare

when she's in her 60's.
