People have asked me, "Didn't you listen to Trump when he said that he would build a wall?" I didn't take the idea seriously during the campaign. I knew he couldn't get Mexico to pay it — that'd be like asking Hurricane Harvey to foot the bill for rebuilding Houston — and thought it was just talk: another candidate making big promises he couldn't keep. I never thought it would actually happen.
Here at the National Butterfly Center, 6,000 schoolchildren visit each year. Girl Scouts come here when they camp overnight just a mile or so from the Rio Grande.
He realized he made a mistake, I won't shame him, but rather encourage him to join us in fighting against the trump admin, cause frankly thats what we should all do
"Won't someone think of the children?"
"Yeah, it's horrible and cruel what's being done to children at the border."
"No, I meant the ones that pay to look at my butterflies."
The revelations of multimillion-dollar donations to the Clinton Foundation from Qatar and Saudi Arabia killed my support for Clinton. Yes, I want equal pay. No, I reject Trump's "locker room" banter, the idea of a "wall" between the United States and Mexico and a plan to "ban" Muslims. But I trust the United States and don't buy the political hyperbole — agenda-driven identity politics of its own — that demonized Trump and his supporters.
We need an entire thread that just collects these kinds of stories.
We need, not we have.

"No, I meant the ones that pay to look at my butterflies."
I have a tough time being sympathetic. It always comes down to, "I thought he was going to fuck over OTHER people".
Someone big on animals voting for Republicans nowadays is a contradiction that says they didn't make a mistake that would change their voting habits going forward.
When was the last time the Republican party was pro environmental safety?
I remember there being reporting shortly after the election where Trump voters were asked and confirmed that they didn't really expect Trump to build a wall, let alone get Mexico to pay for it. Seems like even Trump supporters thought he was lying during the election just to win the nationalist vote.
The scarier part is that because he has money (for now), he thinks he's smart and many people around him think he's smart.
Here was a Democrat telling a Republican that a policy would cost too much.

They're not idiots and know exactly what they were voting for: white supremacy.I remember there being reporting shortly after the election where Trump voters were asked and confirmed that they didn't really expect Trump to build a wall, let alone get Mexico to pay for it.

We've been doomed by idiots
Because liberals and Democrats want to destroy America, so the worst Republican is always better than any liberal or DemocratIf you don't think a candidate is going to do what they say, the fuck are you voting for them for???
More like be glad that even some awful racists from his base are turning on him (yay for Republican infighting!). He's still a bigoted shitheel though. There's no way in hell he reads Resetera, so there's no reason to fake like him. We're not shaming him, because he ain't here. It's venting about an asshole racist.He realized he made a mistake, I won't shame him, but rather encourage him to join us in fighting against the trump admin, cause frankly thats what we should all do
