Another reason to turn away from those who voted for Trump is because of the people of Ukraine. Trump voters sentenced so many of them to be ground beneath Putin’s boot. It’s unforgivable.

Yes. Tfg abandoned our Kurdish allies & he will abandon Ukraine. Fortunately, our NATO allies have been preparing for that possibility and will do everything possible to pick up the slack. However, our credibility and reputation will be left in tatters.
hubby & i joined the multitudes of gen x/boomers caring for elderly trump voters who can't care for themselves. every interaction is acutely traumatic, but they'll literally die without us. they know we changed & i don't know how we'll be able to go on like this. anyone else living this right now?
His GOP backers, billionaire financiers, and extremist organizations such as Heritage Foundation and The Federalist Society, are also to blame. He'd be nowhere without them.
There is a decidedly icy coldness to the horrific indifference & thoughtlessness that some people choose in ignoring the massive destruction of Ukraine & the 100s of thousands of lives Putin has senselessly taken. Just one man. That's all it takes to wreak chaos. The whims of one demented man.
I would not give up hope. Trump has flipped-flopped more than anyone. He has already turned on many promises to maga. Once he finds out there is oil and gas out in them there Donbas, he will do the right thing ... even if it is for the wrong reasons.
I agree with your sentiments, however, this wasn't just maga. This was a vast swathe of Americans, a significant minority of whom previously voted blue in 2020.
If they voted for Trump, they are MAGA. There is no way at this point that they could not know who he is, unless they are so ignorant they are worth shunning anyway. And a key factor for all of MAGA is ignorance. So, call it what you want. Its all the same thing.
You have every right to think / say they're MAGA. But I respectfully disagree with you, not all are. Modererate R's, independents and 2020 Biden voters voted for him. I think it's counterproductive to throw everyone into the same basket. If you don't do some soul searching you'll never win.
2020 is not what we are talking about. We are talking about 2024. If anyone voted for him in 2024, they have no excuse for not knowing what they were voting for.
I agree, I just don't agree they are all MAGA. That said, I'm not American so perhaps don't have the same picture as you do. Don't get me wrong, those who voted for him are despicable.
Where did he say that? The simple fact is US involvement is more paramount to the situation in Ukraine, combined with those blaming Ukraine for not rolling over and Trump’s know admiration for Putin means Ukraine is in a serious condition right now.
OK. This is the silliest comment I have seen today. A) George said nothing about Palestinian lives. B) Trump will be much worse for Palestine than Harris would have been. Trump has said, in effect that Bibi should just flatten Gaza. If you don't know that, you don't know what you are talking about.
I hear you but wonder what percentage of Trump voters: 1) Know what is happening in Ukraine, 2) Can find Ukraine on a map. You know, because the price of eggs.
This is an issue that requires a degree of knowledge from voters. Sadly, all too many voters failed to understand the geopolitics with Russia & that we have tied them up in a war without putting American lives at risk. This is very similar to the Russian war with Afghanistan in the 80s.
Take comfort dear George - you have built a legacy of joy, love, activism, and entertainment that will outlast even the faintest echo of that wrinkly pumpkin! 💙
I agree. I think people need to pass a world knowledge test in order to be eligible to vote. Most of them have no clue what they have done to our country or others.
I worked in Ukraine in 2014. It was a country full of beauty and hope. I'm still in touch with so many friends there. They are defiant... but I can sense the new fear. I remain stunned that people can be so duped by Putin.
We had Brexit - which allowed people to say/do what they really thought-
fortunately, a more sensible Labour govt has taken over - but we still that the Brexiteers/Farage and such people.
I do hope there will be a way to stop Trump - but they, sadly, have planned well…
I can't believe N. Korea has already moved troops in, and tRump and his supporters are cheering. If this continues to escalate, the US will soon join the Russian and N. Korean troops in attacking the Ukraine. And all we can do is watch in horror.
Everyone who voted for Trump this time is permanently removed from my life. I will not help them or interact with them in any way, regardless of their situation or my ability to give assistance.
I said it already today but I will say it again… It is 1933, Germany. And Hitler just won over 92% of Parliament.
Devastated for Ukraine 🇺🇦🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 Sickened by half of our country
All the while, the Left is funding war that’s not only killing Ukrainians, but Russians as well. Is it too much to ask to fund neither? Blood begets blood.
So if a man breaks into your house, kills your parents, rapes your wife and daughter and castrates your son, are you going to say ‘let’s negotiate’? Because that’s what’s is happening to Ukrainians and it’s well documented.
It’s truly terrible something that I’m sure none of them care about because of the lies that they have been so gullible to consume from the GOP. The irony is they think ( the voters) they are out of pocket. It never affects them but it affects the millions of people of Ukraine.

they’re going to need it
the list goes on, atop the 2 million americans that trump ALREADY got killed.
I really do hate that man with a seething passion.
250 million americans. either voted for that, or didn't get off their asses to vote at all so they're equally to blame
Odd how you contend ending a war would result in more deaths than perpetuating it.
Please donate to the fundraisers that are on here such as @ukraineaidops.bsky.social and others. They are making a difference.
Cannot understand why so many people will now be surprised when this regime turns upon THEM.
fortunately, a more sensible Labour govt has taken over - but we still that the Brexiteers/Farage and such people.

You and I can say goodbye to the marriage act and gay rights…
They elected a Racist, Fascist to office who promotes hate and likes violence.
How did we get from the US of the 80s/90s that thought Russia was the enemy to the US of the 2020s that openly admires what Putin is doing?

My heart breaks for the people of Ukraine and Americans who didn't want this. 💔
