Enjoy This New Tumblr Dedicated to Salty Trump Voters
Please don't feel bad for them.
In not so surprising news, Trump voters (particularly those who are lower-income) are realizing that maybe Trump didn't have their best interests in mind after all. Who'd have thought an egotistical, bigoted, businessman who received a huge inheritance from his daddy, wouldn't really care for people who work for their money?
Some people don't like to say "I told you so." I'm not one of those people. WE TOLD YOU SO!
Among a barrage of genuinely terrifying cabinet and administrative announcements, one good thing has popped up on the web. Entitled Trumpgrets, this Tumblr blog does exactly one thing and does it very well. It rounds up the saltiest posts of Trump voters who start to feel pretty stupid for falling for Trump's "I care about the people" act. It's a small, but effective therapy and self-care practice that requires little more than an Internet connection and the ability to scroll downwards on your device. What you'll see on the site will remind you that yes, Trump voters were and are wrong and we shouldn't feel bad for them. We should laugh at them because they voted for—or were not deterred by—xenophobia, misogyny, white supremacy, sexism, Neo-Nazis, a KKK-supported candidate, multiple sexual assault accusations, and a complete lack of actual experience. It's the least they deserve.
Honestly, though, it's hard not to enjoy their pain. Some of these are simply too good for words, especially given how violent and vitriolic these same accounts were a few weeks ago.
All in all, the whole Trump situation is probably best summed up here:
