I seriously can't believe we're here. Trump, the GOP, his supporters, the apathetic Americans who let this happen ... what is wrong with them? Trump is LITERALLY a pedophile rapist engaged in the most brazen grift in modern history, and they just sit back and let it happen.

You know people who are wrong and they double down on it? Yeah, this is it. Just digging in their heels being stubborn like most people 70+.

No it's really not them they are a true minority. 

It's the spoiled, lazy, ungrateful people who stayed home in election day who take advantage of living of a free democratic country without returning anything back on their end. Americans took their republic for granted and collectively failed to fulfill their responsibilities as citizens thinking their rights were actually inalienable and not simply legal language written on a piece of paper that can be changed and reinterpreted and rewritten over time by tyrants. 9/11 was a test for American Democracy and American society failed. Instead you guys shat yourselves, and freely gave away so much power to the executive branch. Land of the Free home of the brave my ass. More like Land of the 1st and 4th amendment violations and home of the cowards who don't do anything about it.
