Did Trump voters get what they voted for?

Did they really vote to give a trillion dollar tax cut to the wealthy?

Did they vote to "drain the swamp" or to bring in more gators?

Did they vote for the division and the attacks upon our democracy and institutions?

Did they vote to attack the Department of Justice and our FBI?

Did they vote to cut children off food stamps?

Did they really vote to make friends with dictators like Putin and Kim Jong Un?

Did they vote for a wall?

Did they vote for the white supremacists?

We hear Trump supporters say that the trump is keeping all his promises. Did they really have all this in mind when they voted for him?

But they will always remember how you made them feel. Trump makes them feel good about themselves and their prejudices, that he shares their demented view of the world, their sense of victimization, and he pwns the libs. What more do they need?

Yes, they can call African Americans n****rs, Hillary Clinton a c**t, and talk about
how sweet liberal tears are. Trump scratches their awful racist, sexist, and proud to
be stupid itches and it feels wonderful to them. So much so that they are OK w/Russia
hacking our elections.

Many Trump voters did vote to divide and attack our democracy, to attack the DOJ and FBI, to cut children off of food stamps, to build a wall and vote for white supremacists. Many Trump voters are truly deplorable and they hate America. They are the 36%.

Did they really vote to give a trillion dollar tax cut to the wealthy? Yes. They figure that the wealthy will "give" them jobs now.

Did they vote to "drain the swamp" or to bring in more gators? By "Drain the Swamp" they meant "get the black guy out of the White House".

Did they vote for the division and the attacks upon our democracy and institutions? Yes.

Did they vote to attack the Department of Justice and our FBI? Yep. IF their Circus Peanut Great Leader says so, they must nod and cheer like the idiots they are.

Did they vote to cut children off food stamps? Only the black and brown kids.

Did they really vote to make friends with dictators like Putin and Kim Jong Un? Dictators are good...their fondest hope is that that Dear Leader will become one of that club officially.

Did they vote for a wall? Of course.

Did they vote for the white supremacists? Yes. That is EXACTLY what they voted for.

We hear Trump supporters say that the trump is keeping all his promises. Did they really have all this in mind when they voted for him?

Unfortunately, yes, this is what they wanted.
