"If it comes down to Trump, I'm going to have to hold my nose and vote for him."
And that's the reason our country is floundering.
Just terrible people. Has to hold his nose and vote Trump otherwise other people won’t suffer.
This. He's trying to phrase it like he has no agency or choice in the matter to abdicate responsibility for the pain and suffering that is the point of voting for Trump.
These people do not deserve the benefit of the doubt. We tried that shit when we didn't haul all their great grandpa's to jail for initiating and fighting for states' rights to enforce chattel slavery.
Don't ask them questions like they'll wake up and realize they're idiots. They're not idiots. They're evil, they revel in causing pain, and they're also too cowardly to own that. Instead they'll use weasel words to act like they have no choice, and that it's just a cultural difference between regressive pieces of shit who want everyone else to suffer vs normal people who just want basic governance and personal freedoms.
