    Honestly, good. Squeeze those stupid motherfuckers dry. Because when they’ve given everything they have to Trump and they get nothing in return except deeper into poverty, that’s when they will feel the pain they deserve.

    But the depth of their devotion to someone who gives zero fucks about them is truly astounding.

        A significant portion of America supported the fucking Nazis so yeah, I think it’s clear we didn’t learn shit. Not even the stupid fuckers who saw it happen in front of their eyes.

      There’s a lot of folks out there with tons of money that give plenty and won’t get anywhere close to poverty. Trump has a tectonic donor base that has money.

      Creating desperate and angry people is generally not a good thing for anyone even if it might provide some temporary emotional satisfaction.
