Yes, we can recover, the world sees what this POS is.
Yes but the world also sees who put this POS in power. I would never put faith in America again, knowing now what a large percentage of our population are hateful bigots that would vote for this man and his policies. The repercussions will be great and widespread.
No. They voted for him because he lied to them. Republicans of been lying for years. It’s a party of Alt white and Nazis and KKK. Naturally they lie about anything. They know it’s the only way to get people to follow them. Well people beyond racists and bigots
Have you ever gotten the opportunity to speak to someone who voted for Trump? Not a challenge but a real question. (Full disclosure, I did not.)They speak of fear that the world they knew is being ripped away from them and on that account they are correct. The world is changing very quickly and people who felt that they were powerful within their society are feeling less so. That is not a defense but instead is meant to show that many of these folks legitimately feel like they are making a last stand to preserve their own relevance. Some of the most respectful and caring people I know voted for him. They wanted him to stand up for the world of the past that will soon become archaic at best and and irrelevant at worst. And yes, welcome to club white, middle class, non-college educated, Roseanne Barr-loving folks, but to ignore that pain is to instigate that population into more extreme behaviors. The folks who have gotten violent at Trump rallies may have been misguided, but they also felt a real sense of urgency when confronted by someone, in person, saying what we all fear, “You and your ideas don’t matter”. So let us dismiss the ideals of ignorance but not dismiss the people who are constrained by them. If most Trump voters were given a detailed account of Huey Long’s rise and fall, I believe they may see that the Emperor is indeed naked.
