The irony here is that if I actually believed that, you’d have banned for trolling long ago. Keep that in mind should you decide to practice any more revisionist history.
You don’t have a duty to defend Donald Trump, either. He may have bought your vote, but your tireless, if laughable, defense over the years was furnished
pro bono.
You made a choice to support Donald Trump. You made a choice - on dozens, if not hundreds, of occasions - to
defend Donald Trump, and antagonize those who rightly critique or despise him. You’ve also made the choice to use evasive language as cover in describing the substance of your “support”, and readers have every right to question your motives.
None of us has to like the consequences of your decisions. And, I suspect, none of us
do.
And adolescent boys read Playboy for the articles.
The “best” case scenario for you was that you were willing to countenance all of the above - ALL of it - the racism, the misogyny, the heterosexism, the anti-Semitism, the xenophobia, the abandonment of America’s allies, the desecration of respected norms, the utter abrogation of decency and dignity, and yet the ONE thing you couldn’t stomach was
losing.
After everything Trump did,
that was what ultimately cost him your support. Losing was the one bridge you couldn’t cross, the crime you couldn’t defend.
You couldn’t even manage to be

years because you were unwilling to be loyal beyond the point of self-interest - as though that represents a virtue.
History will not look kindly upon any of Donald Trump’s enablers - and that includes you, along with the tens of millions of other Trump supporters who will be forever looked upon with an admixture of shame, anger, and disgust.
Decades from now, children born after this date will wonder why people like you acted as you did.
I hope you have a better answer for them than any you’ve offered to us.
You don’t really want to have a dialogue about your past support, period. You’re trying to sprint away from the past four years as fast as your meme-worthy legs will carry you - while trying to avoid looking down at all the corpses.
Then
leave - because I have no intention of allowing any Trump supporter to make this day, of all days, into a “fresh start” for their own self-disgraced reputation.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve often heard some permutation of “the rats who flee a sinking ship still drown.”
Fear not; I won’t compare you to a rat.
Rats care about those other than themselves:
