Trump voters don't know this yet.

When the investigation ends Trump will be judged and so will his voters. Whatever Trump is charged with they will also be guilty of those same charges. They made a choice. If you support and vote for someone who is committing crimes in the open like Trump did you are guilty of those same crimes. The people who voted for Trump were extremely Un-american.

Being an American is not just about being born here. Any dam fool can be born here. It's not just about self-proclaiming I am an American. Any dam fool can do that. It's about how you live your life. There are a lot of people in this country who are only American by name.

Trump voters remind me of the people of the South during the civil war. Fucking traitors.

Working with the enemy, the obvious will have been proven. It was clear what he was doing and the Trump voters supported it. Are they Americans? I think not.

Trump voters are guilty of voting for a lying failed businessman who is a sexual predator draft dodger, money launderer, shafter of small business contractors, ignorant, uneducated, racist, narcissistic, mean, and not very bright.

All that was known and provable before the election.

The collusion with Russia was alleged but wasn't close to "proven" by the election. So they can't be tarred with that brush.

Willful ignorance is a tough nut to crack. To them, real proof is just more deep state conspiracy bullshit.

They turned on America. They put all of us at risk. They put our children at risk. They put our country at risk. They should pay a price for their continued support of Trump.

That's why they'll follow him into hell. That's why the same people believed we needed to invade Iraq.

Because they'll believe any tripe spit at them that excuses their stubborn ignorance.

This is what happens when people live in a bubble, shutting themselves off from other viewpoints because they are not intelligent or curious enough to step out of their comfort zones.

Throw in cuts in funding for Education over the last 30 years in the states that went overwhelmingly for Trump. When you are told what to think, what issues to vote on, the ability to think for yourself gets thrown out the window.

I believe many of those people are predisposed to intellectual laziness to begin with. It's just so convenient to have your opinions pre- made and delivered to you, and so mentally taxing, for some, to use their own brain power and actually think.

They are supporting the end of our democracy. We have to understand this is the biggest attack on our democracy since the civil war. I have reached a new level of anger. This is not a fucking joke what is happening.

Speaking only of my own experience, my great grandmother's father was a prisoner of war in Indiana and walked home to New Orleans after the war.

They didn't see things the way you describe.

Anthropologists studying aggression, war and peace say that eventually, all wars end. People get tired of fighting.

I was just thinking yesterday about the south during the civil war, and unoriginally, how we seem to still be dealing with the fallout. The sense of loss of autonomy, the racism (which is pervasive across this country), the tribalism.

May this dark time be a chance for us to become what we say we are all about, the best of the US.

Everyone you asked was against him right from the start.

Don't expect anyone to admit ever voting for Trump once the poop hits the ventilator.

They voted or cheered King Orange to his throne.

They will all slither and crawl like snakes and hide out until it is safe to resurface as true red/white/ and blue blooded patriotic - God fearing Americans with their flags a waving and thumping their buy-bulls with their index fingers once again.

In full denial they ever contemplated any support of tr-dump.

They are so beyond rational thinking that any type of reasoning, facts, etc. will not penetrate their hate filled, cross wired minds. They will defend him to his dying days. Sort of like tje 250 remaining Russians who celebrate communism and their lost country every May 1st.
