"Trump voters: We told you this was coming — and you have no one to blame but yourselves.

"Trump voters: We told you this was coming — and you have no one to blame but yourselves.

It is EXACTLY what was expected from the proven America-attacker by anybody capable of thinking about anything but themselves heading into November’s disastrous elections." (Raw Story).....
Barbara I understand your anger, but it makes things worse to shame and blame Trump voters. They were fooled by a masterful liar who played upon their fears. Raging at them promotes division, and division is the secret sauce that keeps Trump in the White House. Americans need to unite to get him out of there. Welcome them to the effort.
The problem is MAGA ARE BRAINWASHED so it truly doesn’t matter what you say they don’t think like normal people. You can yell, shame or talk normal they will never see beyond their own nose sorry I seen it heard it doesn’t matter they won’t change. When Trump dies I might have bit of sympathy for a few voters but dough it. They’re not reasonable people some are so damn angry it’s pathetic they angry at themselves for their stupidly but not going to admit shit.
Please don't shame Trump voters by assuming they were "fooled." Most of them probably knew exactly what they were voting for and did so willingly if not joyfully so they could "own the libs." I do agree with you about Americans needing to unite, but it doesn't help to think Trump voters didn't have the sense to know they were being played. That's just talking down to them in another way.
They thought that, by supporting him, they could become like him, invited to the party, rich, famous, powerful, and get to grab all the hot babes. In return, he gave them permission to indulge in the worst aspects of human behavior without (much) consequence. We can’t goad them, but if they come to us, better to welcome them, than beat them over the head with their gullibility. We will need them if we want to get rid of Felon and his cronies, and fix (yet again) the massive damage created by the RethugliKKKon Party.
I don't disagree with your assessment, nor of the ones above. I and many Canadians, heck many folks across the globe, have been astonished and disquieted by the rise of MAGA, the size of MAGA, and its vicious and wilful ignorance, fuelled by Fox "News".
But. While I understand most of them will never be able to examine their beliefs, the fact remains shaming them does more harm than good. You really do need to smooth the path to exiting the cult for them. Less division is the goal.
There has been a lot of rumination on who and why they are. I think the toxicity of the myth of American Exceptionalism coupled with the idea that *everyone* gets a hand-delivered America Dream creates a disconnect these people get caught in. Historian Michael Burleigh stated that: (As Hitler rose to power) “A dreadful mass sentimentality [gripped the nation] compounded of anger, fear, resentment and self-pity.” I think something similar binds the MAGA nation together.
