I keep hearing stuff like "I didn't think he was going to..." or "I thought xxxx was just campaign BS.".
Anyone with something remotely resembling critical-thinking, would have known this was coming after hearing-
"He's going to become presidential after the primary", "He's gonna be presidential after the general elecation", no wait, "He's got to change after inauguration.".
The most awful example is my former neighbor who's then-7-year-old maxed out his lifetime healthcare benefits and has a pre-existing condition hanging over his head for life.
We worked fundraisers for their familiy, yet he's now on the denial train with such rhetoric as "Guess what? TRUMP WON!".
He surely didn't appreciate me thoroughly explaining how he'd screwed himself and his now-10-year old over.
