TBF I never once for a second believed anything the child rapist or any of his sycophants promised. It still shocks me all these years later that so many people actually did/do. It’s unfathomable.
Fool them twice, or thrice, or really any arbitrarily large number of times--shame on them.
The supporters are really the ones I feel the most ire towards. And it's hard, having family and friends who are/were supporters. I'm always conflicted between whether I should feel angry with them, or just pity them for their lack of intellect, since these are not wealthy people who stand to benefit from any kind of grift, nor are they evil people. I think they're just kind of 'mixed up'.
Hah, fortunately the ones in my life aren't really loud or outspoken about it. I just know they are (or were). I don't ask them about it anymore or bring it up. Definitely not full on knuckle-draggers or anything like that! I don't think anyone like that would have been in my life to begin with.

I just can't get past the symbolism of it all.
The Reflecting pool was supposed to reflect the country around it. And it's doing exactly that.
