I'd tell you guys if I had voted Trump. If Ohio had looked close I probably would have.

Seedy and Blueberry Boy think I voted for him? Cool-- I don't care.

I got your back on this one, but I gotta say that's some bass ackward thinking Bubba.  Vote for Trump if it's close???

I wouldn't have felt good about it, but Hillary had to be defeated.

And the truth comes out!

Oh wait, we knew he was a Trump supporter all along.

I imagine that voting for Trump is not something that you would be open about on a forum like that, unless you're comfortable in the village idiot role.  Not because we're an echo chamber, but because we have standards for discourse that we all hold each other to, and pro-Trump arguments can't survive first contact with such an environment.  I imagine that at least a couple of regular Languish posters did vote from Trump, but either never said anything publicly to that effect, or pretended to vote for someone else.

That's a slightly more pleasant way of calling Speesh a liar than Seedy's way, but not much.

....and it turns out that DG was exactly correct...

He hasn't exactly been shy about stating he'd vote against Hillary regardless.

Quote from: MadImmortalMan on November 23, 2016, 02:41:52 PMI think we all are to some degree. Basically, the more you were surprised Trump won, the more in a bubble you were. Me included. I mean, I knew enough to be expecting the unexpected, but not enough to actually not be surprised by the result.

Yeah presumably those who voted for him were a little less surprised about his win.  :hmm: The retard pundit class is maybe not representative.

What are we even arguing about, in regards to derspies? He was insufferable after Trump's victory, only outdone by Martinus. He clearly, and very obviously, voted Trump. It's his right, but it would have been way more classy to just admit it.

I, and I believe Yi, are willing to take him at his word that he voted for Johnson. Even so, he readily admitted multiple times that he liked Trump better than Clinton. Of course he's going to exhibit a bit of schadenfreude at some of the Clinton supporters acting like it's the end of the world.

Derspicy didn't vote for Johnson. Anyone who believes that is gullible. Trump win means he gets to break out his extra special uniforms.
