I'm sorry, one day I'm going to be able to look in the mirror and say "I stood on the side of the righteous. I was NEVER for those horrible things that happened and worked to stop them."
You and people like you are going to rewrite your own history, and come up with (entirely bullshit) reasons as to why you supported Trump before the tide turned. You'll do it because you'll need to live with yourself and you'll not want to take personal responsibility for the Trump-caused catastrophes.
We have seen this before. Never forget: the Iraq War was a popular war with a 73%+ approval rating long before it turned into an unpopular, trillion dollar meat grinder. Americans really didn't give a shit about WMDs. They just wanted to beat up some Muslim enemy to satiate our post-9/11 anger. And when it looked like this country was doing that at little cost, the war was a popular policy that got Bush re-elected. And then it went to shit, and Abu Ghirab became public, and WMDs were never found, and everyone forgot their ownership of said war. "It was Bush and the Neocons". Yeah. And a hell of a lot of Americans who when the going got tough, blamed somebody else for their catastrophe. Nobody got hoodwinked. Everyone wanted to cut Saddam's head off and put it on a pike. When the war after the war got costly, Americans went shopping and tuned it out.
Trump will be the same. Today's Trumpkins will be tomorrow's excuse makers. The rest of us shouldn't buy it. Anyone who supports Donald Trump already failed one of the most important moral test of their lives. And it's not a test you can retake.

And then they will turn around and say ''why are you blaming Trump for the mess he created and why haven't you fixed the mess that Trump created in a fraction of the time?''.
The hypocrisy is ofc that they really haven't learned anything and if you asked them today if the US should bomb Iran they will probably say ''Yes ofc'' and then wonder why the ME is a mess.
Are you running out of material? At least have the decency to do the research yourself.
And you think there is never going to be another Democratic President or Congress who won't press the biggest undo button known to man, post-Trump?
I've been saying this too, for some time. Obama is learning, the hard way, what happens when you don't get the political opposition to have buy-ins on policy: when they take power, they'll just repeal everything.
Donald Trump is aiming to top Obama's performance in that department one day, it seems. And probably get a few criminal investigations out of it as well.
There is no such thing as permanent winners and losers in politics. Period.
