Everyone who sneered at me when I said a Trump presidency would be disasterous ...

[Pacifist Patriot]

can fuck right on off.

Damn. I knew it was going to be bad. I'll admit I was in a dark place for about six months after November 08, 2016. I feared the worst completely unaware of my personal limits of creativity regarding what "the worst" really meant.

I assumed a profound level of corruption.
I assumed an astounding level of ineptitude.
I assumed a complete disregard for Truth.
I assumed a loss of all respect in the international community.

I was right.

I just didn't understand what that would mean in practical terms.

Damn.

9. Those people scare me now if I'm honest.

I used to pity them. Now I see how they could make bad things much much worse.

2. Someone here sneered?

Even though we knew it would be a disaster, I had no idea it could be this bad. Of course, the virus helped a lot.

5. I was expecting a nuclear war.

I ever imagined.

4. Someone on DU sneered at you

when you said bad things about Trump?
Really?

[Pacifist Patriot]

8. No, of course not. I'm venting about people like...

Coworkers, neighbors, and extended family members. I apologize for not making that clear.

10. No one believed me (IRL) when I said that he was mentally unfit,

a narcissist with sociopathic behaviors who can't be trusted to lead or do what was in the best interest of the US.
