nayrt, but for the record, I didn't know much about Trump until he won the 2016 nomination. He was just some rich guy from NYC with a tower, a shitty combover and a reality TV show. I had no reason to care until that point in time.

Obviously, people from New York knew what a piece of shit he was, so nothing surprised them. I'm sure it was infuriating to watch the rest of the country fall for the bullshit he spewed.

As for me, the more I learned about him, the less I liked about him. Having grown up in a narcissistic household, I could see he was waving all the red flags. There are so many people I will never forgive for casting their vote for him more than once.

As for those who wished to give him a chance in 2016, you can't just assume that everybody knew or "should have" known. Of course Wikipedia exists, but the average American doesn't research their candidates, otherwise they wouldn't vote against their self-interests again and again. (Also, America has a racism and misogyny problem it doesn't want to admit to, but that's for another discussion.)

If you’re not going to do the bare minimum of reading a Wikipedia article and you’re going to ignore all the people saying that the guy is bad news here are the receipts, and you’re going to ignore that he was incredibly racist to the previous president for 8 years ahead of his nomination to the point that it was a meme at the point, then just admit that you had no interest in whether or not the guy was a rapist and a racist because you thought he was funny. But if you’re like prev who ignored the extremely easily available information that people from all walks of life were pushing at them and also wants to play the victim because “everyone who says they already knew he was terrible is just gloating,” then you can fuck all the way off.

Hey anon, here's a suggestion.

Maybe actually listen to what people are actually telling you before going off on some mouth-frothing rant about something they didn't even say.

Same here. I was vaguely aware of him before he ran for president, but I knew almost nothing specific about him. Like you said, I knew he was rich and had a reality TV show and I think he was famous for saying YOU'RE FIRED! on it? That was quite literally the full extent of what I knew.

Once he won the nomination, I figured he was just a clown and it wouldn't go anywhere. More fool me, I guess.

Eventually it started to become clear that he's well beyond just a clown conman, and I voted against him, but for sure I didn't realize early on in that election cycle how vile he was.
