... that's a pointless endeavor. They never will. You might as well be pissing into a hurricane. Mark my words, folks - anyone who is waiting for Trump fans to say "Oh my God! What have we done??!" will wait until they are a cold, dessicated cobwebby skeleton.
No matter how bad things get they'll either blame it on Obama or whine that Hillary would have been worse than (economic breakdown, martial law, depression, suspension of the Constitution, World War, invasion by aliens, asteroid smashing the earth). These are not people that can reflect on their mistakes and realize where they went wrong. If they could do so, they wouldn't have voted for The Asshole. Period.
Instead, focus your energies on fighting where it counts. Reaching out to independents, Millennials, minorities - people with a chance of seeing reason. Trump supporters have no such chance. They are beyond redemption.
I refuse to go down letting them destroy the house with me in it so I can have one final moment of gloating before I'm annihilated too, as part of some misguided "They'll know how badly they fucked up!" mindset. No. That's the wrong path. They will never know since they have a whole right-wing propaganda machine waiting to tell them how wonderful and amazing Trump is and how #EverythingisAwesome despite all evidence to the contrary.
Anyone who thinks his mindless supporters will turn on Trump when they see those jobs aren't coming back is a misguided fool. Period. THEY NEVER WILL.
I'm going to work on saving the house through every means necessary instead.
