People who voted to drain the swamp are about to get eaten by the alligators

Donald Trump bet on stupid, and he won.

A long line of voters regretting their votes for Donald Trump seem to be coming from two camps: those who actually took Donald Trump at his word, and those who believe he was play-acting to get elected. His true believers seem to be shocked that he really doesn't plan on building that big wall or that he really doesn't plan on putting Hillary Clinton in jail. Those who believed he was playing a part to get elected are terrified that he might be the caricature he presented on the campaign trail after all as continues to send out horrifying tweets and brings the world on the brink of a nuclear winter.

Some panic is starting to set in as Trump voters are beginning to realize they have voted to cut their own social security, Medicare, and even Obamacare. With the top enrollment numbers for Healthcare.gov enrollment this cycle all going to Trump states, Medicare and Medicaid in House Speaker Paul Ryan's crosshairs and Trump's team promising to open back up all the gambling doors for banks that helped cause the Great Recession, there seem to be Trump voters who now see their candidate's promise to take a wrecking ball to the elite of America slipping away.

If Donald Trump is successful in repealing Obamacare tax subsidies in the exchanges, it will result in one of the largest tax increases on the middle class along with leaving tens of millions of Americans - in "red" states - suddenly without health insurance. If Trump and Republicans are successful in dismantling Medicaid - which Obamacare strengthens and reforms - millions of poor white people who Trump successfully conned won't be able to take their sick children to he doctor. If Paul Ryan and Donald Trump are successful in privatizing and dismantling Medicare, the effects would be disastrous across the country, but particularly calamitous on red states. Three in four Medicare recipients are white, and the share is typically above 80% in states Donald Trump won.

Trump voters - if they are to be believed themselves - voted for the most unqualified candidate for president in history because they somehow believed that a man who literally lives in a golden tower and sits for his interviews on gold chairs gives a hoot about the middle class. They voted to - at the very least - ignore his abhorrent racism, sexism, xenophobia and every other form of bigotry because they bought the idea that a man who has made a carrier swindling unsuspecting people of modest means out of their money was somehow authenticity personified on the campaign trail. They were so disgusted at the New York elite that they willingly voted in one of them president.

The GOP voters are beyond stupid and deserve what they will get sadly they will be taking us down with them.

[Chasstev365]

1. Well Put! My question is:

will they realize they fell for the biggest con job in American poltical history?

[RKP5637]

3. No, they will be told it's the democrats fault and they will believe it. You are dealing

with people that function on one brain cell. It worked in parts of Kansas, it will now work in vast areas of the nation. We have to face it, millions are seriously F'en stupid.

[underpants]

10. Yes they will believe whatever they are told

Look at the list of OBAMA's achievements and how he carried himself in office but they have "worst ever" drilled into their little minds that have also been conditioned to forget W.

[RKP5637]

11. I seriously wonder what to do with them. They are so damn hardcore, brick walls and often I think

innately stupid with border IQ's. I know that sounds arrogant, but FFS, eventually we have to really realize what we are dealing with. They will consume the nation and take it under. There need to be tremendous outreach programs to them. SHIT like Alex Jones and that ilk need to be banned, but with this dreadful administration sh** isn't going to happen. I feel we are sinking.

[mdbl]

34. We're Fuc&ed

Plain and Simple.

[RKP5637]

37. Yep, so true. And Trump has lined up an army of hatred behind him, moving outrageous

characters into positions of power.

[Wiseman32218]

23. Yes, next 4 years will all be Obama's fault.

[pangaia]

26. We are also dealing with democrats, a vast majority of them, who don't fight back.

[RKP5637]

27. That, is a core problem plus horrible messaging! n/t

[pangaia]

28. Right....,

I mean, have they at LEAST heard of twitter...??

[RKP5637]

2. I love the fact these damn fools will get screwed over, but it really pisses me off that these

damn fools are taking the rest of us down with them into Idiocracy. F, I often wish this country were divided in two. It will never be one country again. I think eventually it will regionalize.

[msongs]

4. eliminate SS for registered repubs and give it to registered dems. a win-win :-) nt

[mdbl]

35. Eliminate congressional pay, benefits and retirement

so those assholes know what it's like to be an average American.

[uponit7771]

5. Was on another conservative website, their excuses are Obama did it and Clinton did too..

... so they're normalizing his despot actions already

[sheshe2]

7. The stupid is beyond belief.

These are the people that we are to coddle for their vote? Here on a Democratic board we are told we need to seek their vote. I doubt that they have one brain cell for every thousand of them. Dear goddess!

[Wiseman32218]

24. They can rationalize

dog crap as a burnt hot dog, they have no morals.

[UTUSN]

6. The DRUMPF chumps are going to turn on him *BAD* n/t

[iluvtennis]

8. Like u all said, just wish the rest of us didn't have to suffer the repercussions of these stupid..

uninformed voters. Guess they didn't do any due diligence in vetting who they were voting for. They simply voted for his anti immigrant, anti black/brown, anti women, anti-muslim BS of making America white again. GAH

[RKP5637]

12. Bottom line, they voted for hatred and bigotry, and icing on the cake of jobs jobs jobs.

Vetting? They think that's where you take your dogs when sick.

[iluvtennis]

14. Agreed

[Wiseman32218]

25. EXACTLY!!!!!

[Emilybemily]

9. Good.

Suffer you fuckers. Suffer.

[RKP5637]

13. All good and well, but they took us down with them. The stupid fucks!!!! n/t

[SunSeeker]

15. K & R

[montana_hazeleyes]

16. I hate where it's said they ignored the racism and other hates.

They were /are fervently backing and reveling in racist Sh!t! I hate this keeps being brushed over or denied.
Most of them are racists and thought they would benefit while people of color and others they hate would suffer. And not all of them are stupid. They were caught up in they're racist cult with trump at the center.
And there are people of all walks of life and all levels of income too that support trump.

We all saw and heard the hate at the rallies and the racism and hate from his supporters mouths.

Racism and hate are huge factors in this.

[sheshe2]

17. I think he covered that by saying...

They voted to - at the very least - ignore his abhorrent racism, sexism, xenophobia and every other form of bigotry because they bought the idea that a man who has made a carrier swindling unsuspecting people of modest means out of their money was somehow authenticity personified on the campaign trail.

Yes, they are racist pigs and so much more.

[raccoon]

18. Thanks for quoting that. It was well said. nt

[sheshe2]

19. You are welcome, raccoon. nt

[brer cat]

20. K&R

[sheshe2]

22. Happy Holidays, brer.

Thanks~

[JI7]

21. they voted for bigotry

[mwooldri]

29. If not eaten by the alligators...

... drowning in sewage that he's filling it up with. Look at his cabinet for examples. A brain surgeon as head of Housing and Urban Development? Next time my sink is blocked, I'll call the psychiatrist then I guess...

[Thinkingabout]

30. I don't see this turning out on the positive side, I doubt I will be disappointed, he

is a con. Thanks she for your article, has lots of truths many will be forced to accept. For many of us here, we do not expect Trump to keep his promises, not so much with his worshipers.

[Takket]

31. it was only 8 years ago........

that Cheney and his puppet Bush left the entire country in shambles. Obama was elected in the aftermath, inherited an illegal war and a decimated economy. Dems also had both houses. I felt at the time that the country had "learned its lesson".

Now 8 years later, everything is better than it was, not great, but better........... and here we are again saying the country needs to "learn its lesson" by watching Trump voters lives be ruined.

But what i've learned from the last 8 years is... no lesson will ever be learned. how can we only be 8 years removed from Bush, and the keys to the entire country have been handed to Trump?????????

they will never learn, no matter how many times they come running to the Democrats to fix a GOP mess, they will never learn.

[Initech]

32. Once again the people are tricked into voting against their best interests.

By a stupid and dangerous right wing dialogue that we can blame on AM hate radio and Fux News.

[RKP5637]

38. Seems we've been down this road before, doesn't it! Many times!

Which demonstrates yet again that Americans, many, leave their brains home when they vote.

How anyone could believe this con artist is beyond me.

[colsohlibgal]

33. I Bet Thousands Regret Their Vote Already

That's what you get for watching Fox "News", many who do wind up metaphorically cutting their own throat.

They continually get suckered into carrying water for Exxon Mobil, the Kochs, Murdoch, and other million/billionaires. Oh, and in 2000 making it close enough for the PNAC crowd to steal the election....which is costing us trillions, lives, and led directly to ISIS. And forfeiting what high moral ground we had left after dropping atom bombs on 2 cities in 1945.

I don't see a good way out of where we are headed. I hope fervently that if we still have a democracy in 2018 people will show up for the midterm election.

[mdbl]

36. They are too ignorant to have regret

and they'll remain that way
