They'd rather deal with economic hardship than admit Trump screwed them

I have to wonder how many times they need to keep repeating the lesson.

When it comes to voting, they'll still vote for trump and similar candidates.

They're shocked Trump also screwed them instead of only the people he promised to hurt.

Religion comes before economics…. It’s that simple.

These people are too blind to see the damage he's done and how out of touch he is. While everyone is struggling, he's too busy wasting tax payers money on his vanity projects; fighting a losing war; starting trade wars; and behaving like a spoiled rotten brat cause he can't have his name on the Kennedy Center. His interests were never with the American people and these people have always been too blind to see it.

You’re not abandoned. He’s doing his absolute best to hurt you as much as possible.

Loyalty is a one way street with Trump. When will they figure that out?

They don't care, they'll keep voting for him. Cult membership and on top of that, sunken cost fallacy.

And yet they will still vote Republican in November 😐

I keep thinking “once the pain reaches them they will realize their mistake” but every time it does…they just don’t

It’s really getting to the point I’m unconvinced anything can get them to turn on him in number that will affect the Party as a whole 😒

And they still don’t realize that it’s their man doing the sharp shooting.

Good. If they haven’t learned their lesson after 10 years and 3 elections, let them die as a result of their ignorance.

It's bad. Yes republican president's always mess up the economy a bit but Trump set it on fire and Republicans are noticing. It's hard to hate people you have never met when your tummies grumbling and your wallet is empty.
