Yes, that alone should have stopped everyone from voting for him. It is very distressing to me that we had a president who spoke like that and people who dismissed it as locker room talk. With some people, evolution has not happened.

There is not a person in this country who can honestly say they are surprised at the disaster that TFG has caused. As his niece, Mary Trump, has said, he has never shown himself to be anything but what he is - a base, ignorant, cruel, narcissist (I'm paraphrasing). For all who counseled "just give him a chance," I say that you were an enabler when you voted for or made excuses for him. I remember when he was evicting the elderly from his father's rental units. He was pond scum then, and he has evolved into a plague. There is no excuse. period.

A lot of the people who voted for him are racist and misogynistic just like he is. A lot of them think nothing of participating in criminal activity of various kinds. Then there are the evangelicals who want a theocracy or at the very least abortion to be banned. For years they have heard tax and spend about Ds and the need to own the liberals. He speaks to all their fears and prejudices. My own family members who live in the midwest post all kinds of dreck and most, if not all of them, have benefitted from government programs. They are poorly educated and live in a milieu in southern Illinois and Indiana where that's all they hear. If they have jobs, they are mostly scut jobs and they are unhealthy. No vaccines of course for at least some of them. I just sigh.
