It’s just like the end of W’s presidency when everyone on the right was pissed off about what he did in Iraq and to the economy, then they proceeded to double-down on the nationalism, racism, and religious intolerance that made the GOP so popular with reactionaries.

Yep. They may have scraped those W stickers off their cars, but then joined up with the teabagger movement, and then a little bit later the birther movement, and then shortly after that, they went BALLS DEEP on Donvict, and were/are ecstatic about it.

These were all the same people in my life, not a new set of voters that left the party and never came back - all of them were dejected at the end of W’s failed terms. All of them are now Donvict fans. I watched many go through that exact cycle, in my personal life.

My favorite thing from them, though? When they blame their worst behaviors on Obama. They don’t realize how much they are telling on themselves. Yes, WE KNOW that them becoming even more overtly worse than before is of course a reaction to the black guy being in office.
