10. No, but it wasn't a dealbreaker for them.

Feb 4

Every single person who voted for Trump chose a person who lies constantly, who regularly says and tweets hateful, bigoted things against almost everybody, and who promised to be a dictator.

They voted for a person who mocked people with disabilities, servicemen wounded or taken prisoner during war, immigrants, and just about everybody else.

They voted for a person who promised to turn Gaza to dust.

They voted for a person who sent thousands of rioters into our Capitol to overturn a democratic election, called them patriots, and promised to pardon them.

They voted for a former president who stole hundreds of thousands of top secret documents, stored them in cardboard boxes all over a resort hotel, and refused to return them,

They voted for a convicted felon who was found liable for sexual assault.

I could go on and on. None of this was a dealbreaker to every person who voted for Trump in 2024.

Whether they call themselves MAGA is irrelevant. They voted for a dictatorship.
