Frustrated At People Coming Around

More recently it seems that more people are coming around to how bad Trump is. And, look, this is obviously a good thing. Both in the case of independents and in the case of former Trump supporters. In order to resist and hopefully depose Trump, a mass movement is needed. And more people is better for that. Pragmatically this is a win and hopefully many more change their minds.

That being said, In can't help but feel extremely frustrated with these people.

Everything he's doing right now, maybe aside from threatening war with Panama or Greenland, was advertised loud and clear either by things Trump said or by the evidence from his first term. The guy tried to overthrow the U.S. government to install himself in 2020, for godsakes. His biggest achievement in his first term was a giant tax cut for the rich. Maybe the speed of how fast he's doing it can be surprising to some, but what Trump is doing right now isn't surprising at all. It was all very clear on election day.

And yet these people still either stayed home or voted for him. And now that he's in office and things are getting very, very bad suddenly they realize they should've voted for Kamala and/or not for Trump. Are you kidding me? He was elected a couple of months ago. Everything was advertised. You couldn't manage a little Google search before you voted?

I just find it so freaking FRUSTRATING. Because everything that's happening right now didn't need to happen. And wouldn't have ever happened in the first place if these people just realized what they're realizing right now a couple of months earlier. Now they're coming around, but undoing the damage they've caused will be a LOT harder than avoiding it in the first place.

Again, pragmatically and purely rationally it is a good thing they're coming over. But emotionally I can't help but feel extremely frustrated with them because of how much none of this needed to happen.

Like people have gotten black bagged and thrown into an El Salvadorian torture prison. They wouldn't be there if those people had done a freaking Google search.
