Op-ed: This is why it's okay to be angry at anyone who voted for Trump

[Native]

Opinion: They were warned about Project 2025, autocracy, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and we’re suffering the consequences because of their ignorance, John Casey writes. (Casey is the senior editor for The Advocate)

I have a message to anyone who voted for Donald Trump, particularly those who thought he’d lower their food and gas bills, or those who questioned whether Kamala Harris was a good candidate: your stupidity is revolting. You deserve all the tyranny that is about to befall you — and unfortunately, the rest of us who heeded the waterfall of warnings about Trump and voted for Harris.

I’m laughing about how obtuse Trump voters were about him “lowering prices” while telling them about increasing tariffs. Practically every economist in the world warned that prices would rise if Trump imposed new tariffs. Mark Cuban told me the same thing when I talked to him before the election.

But no, Trump voters would prefer to believe a reality star who lies, lies lies, versus someone like Cuban who oozes common sense. Trump just instituted new and shameful tariffs on our neighbors Canada and Mexico, and our adversary China. Wait till Trump voters see what happens to their grocery bill. Stupid is as stupid does.

The anger has been prevalent on my social platforms, from friends and followers who are up in arms about the horror Trump is creating. And, on the flip side, the abject incomprehension of others who are trying to explain away his behavior. A first-cousin who shared a post from a random account that said Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico, and trying to take Greenland and Canada were based on international laws, not his egomania. Seriously?

Casey sums it up beautifully when he says, "Trump voters bark about “woke” but ignore the fact that if woke went away, racism would take its place."

1. MAGA has a sad because everyone thinks they're dumb

As well as racist. Have yet to see them prove it wrong.

3. They want to be racists quietly.

But be treated as respectable citizens when out in public.

But wear their white robes and pointy hat when with friends or at church.

Got it from his granddaughter and several of her teenaged friends recently … they all work pt at a local holiday retail store , and granddaughter told her friends ‘he voted for trump’ and they lit into him
He was gobsmacked and unable to respond , was truly shocked they had the guts to speak out at him …

Got this info from my brother when we were on the phone , we both were laughing so hard we could barely speak …

From the mouths of babes … 👍

5. I think all those people who voted for his "policies" rather than...

integrity, decency, humanity, honesty, respect, wisdom, common sense, etc.
are going to experience something called consequences.

It is a major failure of civilization that the mobster president has never experienced any real consequences. Or, if he has, he was too mentally dysfunctional to learn from them.
