Unfortunately we need to wait for enough of them to find their spines and fix their mistake. Just like it’s up to white people to stop racism, it’s going to take Republicans to end this nightmare.

"I will always love the false image I had of you." (I forget where I first read that, long ago, but I am sure it fits these Trump super-fans to a tee.)

It’s too late now - they elected him (tho I doubt it was legit) and now we are all stuck with their decisions

Nice to see someone else also having doubts about the legitimacy of this POTUS. People keep saying "people voted for this" and it really never felt like....before or after...

his supporters also seem to have imaginary versions of themselves...

They need to channel that outrage just like they did on J6 and do something about it. This is literally their fault. They should be taking appropriate action to right their wrong.

Only this time they will have more support.

Oh FFS, can we PLEASE stop with all the hand-wringing about The Trump Voter?? Why are they voting for Trump, what about Jan 6, what do they want, why are they so angry, do they feel betrayed, blah, blah, blah.

They were warned (ad Infinitum!), they made a choice, now they’re 😭😭😭. Got it.

Yep. It was bad enough during his first term. Now it’s just infuriating. And it’s b.s.

I don’t want to hear it. Bullshit. They know what they voted for. And the Republican terrorists- all should be jailed.

What's really sad is that we have to many idiots that are willing to vote to burn down the country and vote for racism and hate.

At best Trump voters are just exceptionally irresponsible. I'm not convinced this is going to make them more responsible in '28 or especially in '32.
