So, wait.

Donald Trump has "won" Super Tuesday, Nikki Haley has dropped out of the race, and this would all be over for Trump if "the Dems would just quit focusing on him"....???
Once again, the GOP chose Trump from a large primary field. Republicans did that. And then when they vote for him in November, many of these same folks will say they voted for Trump because they "had no choice."

What the hell did you expect me to do? I believed it all the way. I'm still believing it all the way.Which leaves me wondering, what happened to you?.Grace is brave. Be brave.

Need to break this down into smaller bits for the grade-school-level brain of the MAGA to be able to read it:


What the hell did you expect me to do?

You told me to love my neighbors, to model the life of Jesus.
To be kind and considerate, and to stand up for the bullied.
You told me to love people, consider others as more important than myself.
"Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight." We sang it together, pressing the volume pedal and leaning our hearts into the chorus.
You told me to love my enemies, to even do good to those who wish for bad things.
You told me to never "hate" anyone and to always find ways to encourage people.
You told me it's better to give than receive, to be last instead of first.
You told me that Jesus looks at what I do for the least-of-these as the true depth of my faith.
You told me to focus on my own sin and not to judge.
You told me to be accepting and forgiving.

I payed attention.
I took every lesson.
And I did what you told me.


But now, you call me a libtard.
A queer-lover.
You call me "woke."
A backslider.
You call me a heretic. A child of the devil.
You call me soft. A snowflake. A socialist.

What the hell did you expect me to do?

I thought you were serious, apparently not.
We were once friends. But now, the lines have been drawn.
You hate nearly all the people I love.
You stand against nearly all the things I stand for.
I'm trying to see a way forward, but it's hard when I survey all the hurt, harm, and darkness that comes in the wake of your beliefs and presence.
What the hell did you expect me to do?
I believed it all the way. I'm still believing it all the way.

Which leaves me wondering, what happened to you?
Grace is brave. Be brave.

If it were that low Trump would be in a battle for the nomination. Many, many, Republicans claim to not like Trump while secretly loving him.
To be fair Biden has an approval rating in the 30's, and three short years ago he had the most votes EVER, and with Trump running again, Biden may break his own record to keep Trump out of the White House.
 

FYI: If you don't post the actual thread, anyone w/o a Twitter account cannot read the posts now.



If someone says “I really don’t like the way he handles himself and his offensive tweets but I like his policies” that person is a Trump voter.

This person knows what they’re doing is wrong but they’re rationalizing the behavior they know is wrong.
If someone says “I don’t like Trump or his policies but no way I’d ever vote for Biden” this person is a Trump voter.

This person doesn’t care, even enjoys doing the wrong thing and won’t be bothered by being forced to answer for it or think about it.
If someone says “January 6th was the breaking point for me” or “Trump is mentally unfit” or “He’s dangerous”

This voter has broken the fever swamp. Expect 1 in 10 Republicans to respond this way.

They’re there but don’t be fooled by the first two. They’re Trumpers
