I sincerely doubt most of these stories are actually happening. It's true. But I doubt the actual interaction occurred. Seeing this same story different ways all over the internet. I live in a region surrounded by right wingers and aside from those flags and occasional hats, I hardly ever hear anyone outright talk about their politics.
I actually believe it because it's exactly what happened in brexit. Conservatives voted to leave and then they found out what that meant.
Conservatives were so focused on winning that they didn't bother to actually look into Trump's "policies" and are not Pikachu faced when understanding it.
These are the same assholes that are going to completely forget two years from now that Trump raised prices and will still vote Republican in the midterms.
That's a succinct way to put it. It's definitely hilarious watching them bleed from their own hubris, though.
Times like these when being a petard salesperson really pays off.
