Trolling Republicans on my Facebook page: This week's post

So, you voted for Donald Trump to shake things up, did you? Did you know you also voted to install Brian Klippenstein of Protect the Harvest, a man who advocates for puppy mills, to oversee the transition at the USDA? You didn't? Is that what was keeping America from being great - not enough puppy mills? I know I didn't think America needed more puppy mills, but that's just how wrong I was:

I wonder if any Trump supporters can now admit that they were wrong?

Every few days or once a week, I want to post something so that Trump supporters can get a refresher course on just who and what they voted for. I try to pick items that are factual (the fact of Klippenstein's appointment isn't really debatable, which is always their first dodge), and things that decent people would find universally revolting. I won't hit the mark for every Trump supporter with every item, and I expect a certain amount of "Quit posting this stuff, you lost" pushback, but the cumulative effect might be a cause for pause by some Trump supporters.

I'd be stunned if a Trump supporter 1) cares squat about puppy mills, and/or 2) sees the USDA as anything more than "big gubbamint."

among modern right-wing shills? They bailed on that sorry excuse for a president quick, didn't they?

They'll pull the same move with Trump. That's their white flag.
