I've noticed that people on my FB who have never before liked my political posts, now are.

People who get their facts from Fox News are so damn screwed.

(34,661 posts)Spouse and I had that discussion this afternoon. She is the last of her family and in great health. Everyone of her parents and siblings passed away from Cancer. And in each case,the Cancer hit and within a few months,they passed. Seen the medical bills. Seen the absolute pain,as well as the side effects from the Meds.
To this day,it still amazes me how insensitive our Politicians are to the many needs of our citizens. It is all about protecting the Corporate Balance Sheet rather than the Balance Sheet of the Public.

(18,470 posts)No one wanted to cop to voting for the "horrible and disgusting" (as our tour director put it) Silvio Berlusconi.
Hell at this point I think Silvio would be preferable to either Nixon or Agent Orance Fornicate Face.
We should really document their stupidity while they have the guts to publicly express it.

(17,004 posts)I'm kinda the token liberal around here. People I see all the time were very pro-Twitler before the election but have been oddly silent since then. I'm quite sure it's not to spare my feelings as that has never stopped them in the past. I keep waiting for them to start some shit and thanks to DU I am fully prepared to rip their insane arguments to shreds.

(4,608 posts)The country may never recover. Now that the barbarians have broken through the Gates of Rome and the pillaging is active and visible, even to the non-thinking, the deplorables are all scared and remorseful. Too little too late.

But I will enjoy watching their rationalizations as this Trump things has its inevitable major fall.

moonscape
(4,673 posts)quiet, remorse even, about T. She said just the opposite, that they are .... same word ... emboldened. This was a week ago, but I suspect if one hadn't cause for alarm 5 days ago, not much will change until a tangible-to-them horrifying event/crisis ... and even then maybe they'll still be thanking Obama.
Terrifying.

(31,170 posts)It seems they don't like it when their friends call out the lies. And there are soooooo many coming at them so fast that they cant keep up - or maybe they are beginning to see the light...time will tell.

BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)is a self-proclaimed "moderate Republican" and who supported and voted for Trumputin. The way he was engaging the Trumpsters on that thread - explaining to them how California gets its water - I thought he was a liberal or a Democrat. When I made the mistake of not reading down the thread where he said he was a moderate Republican and I had written "Trumpsters" in my post to him, he came out nasty and said that "common sense is lost on low-info voters" like me.
I came back with,
"Low-info voter?? This coming from a Trumputin supporter and voter like you? I'm sorry I'd posted to you, thinking you were level-headed and had at least a modicum of common sense. My mistake, Comrade. You're a Republican and a Putin-patriot, and I shouldn't expect common sense and knowledge of politics from your ilk."
This was a day ago. He hasn't responded and no other Trumpster has, either. They're embarrassed for having supported and voted for this Putin-lackey. This is what got them the hardest, that Trumputin has thick ties to Russia. Even a business owner and Republican my son works for says he's afraid for our country. He admitted that he had no idea that Trumputin had such close ties with Putin. He's afraid for our country. He said they fucked up.
Now they're pretty thin on Twitter, as well. They've all gone in hiding, ashamed that they've voted for and supported the Russian candidate who is about to destroy this country - and they know we'll make them own it.

(901 posts)disabled, pathological lying, extreme narcissism, ripping off people, multiple bankruptcies, self-dealing charitable funds, and ignorance and a lack of curiosity about nearly everything didn't concern them very much? They drive me nuts.
BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)how horribly and disastrously flawed he is, was paramount. Only later did they realize that the White guy they chose is actually a Putin candidate and they're worried they've just handed the White House to the Kremlin.
One thing is for certain: they HATE Russia even more than Liberals and Democrats.

(6 posts)How can some crazy white guy get elected to the white house based on tweets? Is this what the right has leveraged against us? i thought the people that ran twitter were on our side. Why would they let this racist bigot keep his account and not block him from logging in again? The right has already taken over .gov and are forcing our only ways of spreading the REAL information into submitting to their orwellian news distribution tactics!
Coming soon, the blessing from the right to have .gov cameras in your house to arrest you when you give an undocumented person asylum in your own home.
hibbing
(10,098 posts)And I have noticed something similar. The day after the election I heard all kinds of happy chit chat about the election wafting around the little cube farm on my floor at work. This week it has been very very quiet.
I sincerely hope all of teenage children of one coworker all get jobs that provide health insurance or are in college because if not, good luck.

(6,932 posts)They just wanted him in simply to spite us (PoC, the educated, urban dwellers, upper middle class professionals, other liberals), because his voters think we think that we're better than them. It's all one big fuck you to us who care about our countrymen. SMH.
manicraven
(901 posts)actually snark about how Spicer didn't let the MSM get away with their lies, etc. I WISH I'd come across quiet Trumpists or some who might even be humbled, but sadly, no, that's not what I'm finding at all.

(18,470 posts)They are loud, they are boorish, they are arrogant, and they never think they are wrong about anything.
susanna
(5,231 posts)She is "feeling fed up" and telling people that "everyone needs to give him a chance like we did Obama." She goes on to tell us, breathlessly, that she's "not here to debate politics" but by God, she's gonna tell you how she feels about everyone being mean to her glorious leader.
In other news, she is clearly delusional. She never was too bright, though. Not gonna unfriend her just yet, because she outs his other supporters to me. I can unfollow them all more efficiently that way.
I'll give it a week or so...she is getting less and less support every time she opens her mouth, so I think I'm near the end of my "can't-reason-with-em deplorables" purge.

Too bad they had their heads up their rears before and didn't do their homework. ugh
