I'm not sure that Trump supporters have actual free will that makes them guilty for their despicable act. They're probably just genetic mutants who should be humanely put down rather than hated or punished. But I have no authority to do that. All I can do is banish them from my life.
If one of my own adult children had voted for Trump, a thankfully unimaginable happenstance, I would have felt obligated to kill myself.
Does that help explain the seething contempt that I have for Trumpanzees?
I threw an usher from my own wedding, a former friend of nearly fifty years, out of my home--physically.
Having been a former boxer, I risked being sued or arrested--but I did it.
I sent Christmas cards back to cousins who had admitted to voting for Trump.
Don't think that my hatred of everything Trump is a put on. It's real. My country sent me to a foreign land as a hostile invader, putting me in harm's way and expecting me to murder freedom fighters in their own land, and I found a way to forgive that. At least I get a nice Agent Orange check every month.
Voting for Trump is something else. Reversing the nation's fight against fascism in the 1940s and embracing fascism now...mocking the sacrifice of my father and millions of other fathers, sons, brothers, and husbands--women too, actually-- all to put a racist, fascist, bullying, misogynist, disgusting, thuggish troglodyte in the oval office is nothing close to a forgivable act. If you're looking for somebody to forgive that, you've got to find somebody else.
No relationship with a despicable cretin is worth saving.
You are one sick bastard.
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
