In reply to the discussion: I will not forgive [View all]brer cat
(27,330 posts)11. +1000
Trump did not wear a mask or muzzle during the campaign or in earlier years. It was clear to anyone who listened what the choices were last November, and those who failed to vote or refused to vote Democratic have no legitimate excuse. They willingly made the choice to allow a hateful, spiteful fascist to reach the pinnacle of power. Those who willingly, often gleefully, spread the lies that weakened Hillary are just as guilty, as are those who loudly proclaimed her too "flawed" to pass their insular purity test. I cannot forgive and I will not forget.
Thank you for expressing so well the pain and agony that many of us feel.

Let's hope Mueller does his job and exposes the Fuhrer-in-Chief for the traitor he is.

We shouldn't forgive. If we did, they'd think it was no biggie and do it again.
