I like the attack that Donald has lost it. Let people have the out - they can think he was great before, so they were right to support him, but now Donald has changed so they can oppose him without ever admitting they were wrong.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It would suck not to hold people accountable for their very bad decisions, but at this point if it means putting this shit behind us, I’d begrudgingly take it.
Those people would never admit they were wrong anyway
It's all about creating a permission structure for people to change their minds without breaking their minds.
Allow them to change with grace and acceptance and embrace them for changing.
Is this how deprogramming works? Many of his followers have made him their way of life.
Changing a person’s worldview isn’t a trivial undertaking.
Keen observation. And here I was, focusing mostly on the Couchfucker aspect of the ad. I’m glad you pointed this out as I hadn’t caught that.
I’m usually for taking the high road, but I have to admit- I like this new ‘hitting below the belt’ vibe she has. Trump deserves no mercy. No courtesy, and no quarter.
Yeah, probably shouldn't let Ignatius J Riley be one flagging heartbeat away from the nuclear codes.
I don't get that reference.
He's the main character from A Confederacy of Dunces. Ignatius is who Vance would be if he was from New Orleans and didn't get picked up by Thiel.
Are any of our nukes couch-shaped?
