EXACTLY! Your vote says more about you than it does about him. You voted for someone you probably wouldn't do business with, invite to a family dinner or perhaps let your daughter, sister, aunt or cousin marry....but you'd put him in the highest office in the USA.
If you voted for Trump, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party.
I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion and humanity.
I judge you for your support of racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, treason and fascism.
So will others. So will history.
Donald trump says a lot of things that he later backs away from, and nobody holds him accountable for.
For instance, he said he would build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. Never happened.
He said he'd have a replacement for Obamacare “in two weeks.” Never happened.
He said if he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, he'd leave America. Never happened.
And when challenged to debates earlier this year, he said “Any time, any place.” But now he's scrambling for reasons to AVOID debating Kamala Harris.
Time after time, trump just says whatever is on his diseased, demented mind, and the press fails to question it, or hold him to account.
Then his followers all clamor to explain “what he really meant to say is…” while deflecting by spinning a bunch of whataboutisms.
For a person whose followers like him because he “says what he means,” it's clear that what he says is meaningless.
For now, until the press steps up, we're going to keep calling out his cowardly bullshit to make sure everyone knows #ChickenTrump is a COWARD.
@SteveSlatonAZ So you're a victim of the same thing the GOP did to Sen John Kerry....not sorry. Also, please stop using this vitrolic, hate-filled speech. Your decorum is not reflective of someone is who qualified to hold office.
@TheRyanHamilton I'm so sorry for what happened. It is WRONG, TRAGIC and most importantly, unneccessary. I was fortunate to get the appropriate medical care when I suffered 2 miscarriages. You're correct, those who criticize have NEVER been faced with this horrible situation.

Here's Donald trump, saying "laws allow a baby to be born...in the ninth month. It is wrong."
Show this to people who question President Biden's fitness. Stop giving trump a pass, FFS.
A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:
“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”
