I had a long discussion with one of my co-workers today about Trump. He’s a naturalized immigrant who is very conservative that voted for Trump because he wanted a conservative appointee to the Supreme Court. He figured he’d suffer through 4 (he jokes “more like 2”) years of Trump since a Supreme Court nominee is for far longer.
He had no idea about the recent fuckery going on around the EPA and environmental regulations being rolled back (“hey, I like the EPA. Wait, so it’s no longer illegal to dump mining chemicals into streams now?”) and to the rolling back of pro-consumer FCC regulations. This is what voting for Trump got you, pal.
For being such a smart guy he sure came off as a typical low-information voter. This is what we’re dealing with, folks.
