‘You want to cry’: MAGA voters tell WSJ they feel 'horrible’ about voting for Trump 

Oh, you feel bad now? You’re miserable and struggling? You’re scared and unsure about what insane and destructive bullshit he is going to unleash on us at any given moment? Well, fuck you.

Fuck you. We warned you. The people who knew him best from his first term warned you. He warned you himself, through his increasingly deranged and depraved behavior.

And you fucking laughed at us. You mocked us. You called us names and said we were as deluded as you actually were and are. 

So, again, fuck you. Fuck you and fuck Trump and fuck maga. You own all of this. You did this to us. You deserve to have a shitty day; we do not. You deserve to struggle and suffer; we do not.

You never cared about his racism, his violence, his hatred, his predation, his 34 felonies. But suddenly, you care about *checks notes* the economy, because this directly affects you.

Go fuck yourself, Maga. You are not forgiven. You are not welcomed back into polite society with open arms. You are pariah. You carry a scarlet letter for the rest of your hopefully miserable lives, because you failed the easiest open book test in the history of the world. While we were doing the work on the group project called Democracy, you were doing a jerk off dance with a rapist.

with fingers fumbling

for the wrong switch

A rock launched through

that other window

The smell of sulfur

instead of berries

on our breath

And the burst

will leave behind

a simple stain
