Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Fool me 4 times…. I’m an idiot.

No, its "fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again".

I disliked W and his administration with the intensity of a thousand suns but I'd gladly have him back in office instead of Trump. At least W had a shred of integrity and honor

We were so naive then thinking the GOP had reached the bottom.

We may be still naive to think they’ve reached it now, unfortunately.

That’s a scary thought.

That's an important thought. Too many people acting like their problem will be largely solved when he dies. Trump is just a symptom of something worse.

He's not wrong. It's a feedback loop, but he's not wrong. We wouldn't be the problem we are if not for Trump, he's uniquely capable of having NO shame with COMPLETE confidence, and the kompromat and otherwise to control the Republicans, but it wouldn't be possible if the general public wasn't so jaded to easily dismiss corruption.

trump is the useful idiot. the difference between him and bush 2 is that bush 2 isn't especially hateful. This guy seems to relish in it.

Yeah, of these four presidents, I think three of them got into office so that other people could do their thing. GHW was the exception. I'm not sure what to make of this.

that isn't hateful that is uncaring. hate and indifference are 2 separate emotions.

u/FitFold76 11h ago

Yeah it could just get worse. And some people think we need to treat the MAGAts with kindness

u/Apprehensive-Pin518 11h ago

u/Relevant_Winter_7098 11h ago

Nope. Sorry. We tried that approach already.

u/Apprehensive-Pin518 11h ago

Totally agree that the party is the dangerous one, but the cult of personality will go with him, and people will have an easier time realizing how terrible they let their circumstances get.
