    “I feel betrayed, like he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing,” Bright, who has several disabling medical conditions, said. “It’s like high school class president: ‘I’m gonna promise we are going to get pizza every single day,’” Bright said. “Then as soon as they get elected, they are like, ‘Oh, I lied.’”

    You feel… betrayed…? That a well-known and notorious liar and grifter lied to and grifted you…? Just like he did the first fucking stint he had?

    No, this one gets chalked up to “user error”. This is on you. Fucking idiot.

        Honestly, the general tenor of not giving a fuck, uncritical acceptance/bandwagoning, and anti-intellectualism of my countrymen is one of the biggest things that makes me want to fuck off from here.

      If only she had more than a decade of evidence that Donald Trump was a pathological liar that didn’t just spilt hairs, deflect, or cite misleading statistics like most politicians, but actually told complete fabrications on easily disprovable subjects where there was ample evidence that he was making shit up completely.

        This is why the, “all politicians lie though” excuse is such bullshit. It’s not even close to the same thing.
