    That tactic was tried in 2016 and failed. The political party isn’t the one getting punished when you vote that way nor does it encourage them to change their ways.

    Changing the direction of a political party is a long, drawn out affair that requires sustained political action over the course of years.

    I have a feeling a lot of people who voted for Trump are going to be hurt by his policies and they’re going to be completely shocked as though this wasn’t known already. How could they possibly have known the person who bragged about hurting them when elected would actually hurt them when elected? /s

      They won’t be shocked. They’ll blame it on liberals and democrats and anyone else who had nothing to do with it… because nothing is ever their fault, it’s always a conspiracy by someone else.
