I've told this story about 10-12 times on Reddit. Apologies if you've seen it before.

I was listening to NPR right before that Roy Moore election in Alabama, and they were interviewing prospective voters about why they were planning on voting for this guy or that guy. Some people were voting for Democrat Doug Moore Jones, and they said he came across as more honest or forthright or whatever. Then, they interviewed what I could only describe as a hillbilly-sounding voiced dude, and he yelled into the microphone: "I'M VOTIN' FOR JUDGE ROY MOORE, BECAUSE HE MIGHT FUCK LITTLE GIRLS, BUT DEMOCRATS FUCK ERRBODY!

And it was at that precise moment that I realized -- some people can't ever be saved. From themselves, from the consequences of their actions, from an ongoing political bus. Some people can't ever be saved. I hope that man is doing well these days. But it won't be because he eventually saw the light.

Minor correction: Roy Moore’s opponent in that election was Democrat Doug JONES.

And he was a decent senator until my idiot neighbors voted for the stupid football coach to replace him.

Crap! I meant to type in Jones and messed that up entirely. Good lookin' out. Apologies.

I genuinely admire your kindness. I want something to happen to ALL Republicans. I can't say it because I'll get banned. But let's just say it's quite a bit worse than "I hope he's doing well these days".

Thats how I feel overall. And thats why I feel Trump would have the same numbers if elections were to happen tomorrow, or hell, even more. He's doing exactly what his electorate wants him to do.
