In reply to the discussion: He played me for a fool: Kentucky Trump supporter laments he should have voted for Hillary [View all]Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)35. No, Trump DID NOT PLAY YOU FOR A FOOL, Wes. You're just a frog who believed in the scorpion.
Trump told you exactly who he was, and you decided to believe something else, even though it came from the same guy who told you he liked to grab pussy because he could get away with it, and stiffing contractors is the BEST (second only to bankruptcies and letting someone else pick up your tab).
I posted one of these "how could I be so stupid" threads myself yesterday, and all I can say is "prepare for more just like this, or worse."
Right now, the stories are simply "I was SO stupid, he LIED." But when people actually start getting sick and die, I'm wondering if the people who voted for Trump will revolt in the streets or step up to Greg Gianforte and beg "PLEASE, sir...may I have ANOTHER?"

Dems should have a better message, though, and I think it's crass to kick a person when they're down
