“What was he convicted of?” someone asked.

“He had tattoos on his body,” she replied triumphantly.

“Hey, smartass!” shouted a woman in her sixties, jumping to her feet. “You want to see my tattoo?”

“Lady,” the Trump supporter said. “You don’t know what a tattoo is.”

“Yes I do, I’ve got one!” the woman shouted, tapping her chest.

The Trump supporter dismissed her with a wave of one hand. “I’ve had enough of you Democrats,” she said.

Next time one your friends insists that Trump voters are regretful, or somebody mentions Trump's poll numbers, show them this.

Someone needs to bring these people a holocaust surviver to show them their tattoo and explain why fascism should never rise again

Going to the midwest sounds like going to the zoo.

It's fucking insane here. I live in a city where people's opinions seem relatively reality-based, but if you get out into the rural areas, the effects of brain drain and media balkanization are on full display.

I don't suggest actually doing this, but you would be absolutely fucking shocked by the overwhelming ignorance of the general population if you were to, say, stop at a bar in rural Iowa.

Every day you hear someone say the stupidest shit you’ve ever heard in your life. And then the next day someone says something even dumber. It’s absolute hell on earth but the plus side is my mortgage is cheap as dirt I guess.

I hope they rip each other apart trying to justify their own ignorance and his madness.

Unfortunately their disproportionately overvalued federal representation and votes due to the electoral college they are dragging the rest of us down with them

I don't feel bad for anyone that voted for trump. Nothing he is doing is a surprise. So far it has been everything he said he wanted to do. Fucking morons got exactly what they voted for.

I want them to see the error of their ways. No forgiveness without change, but there is no change without the possibility of forgiveness.
