To the point made at left:
1) There are plenty of Trump voters who regret their votes. If that weren’t the case, it would be impossible to explain Trump’s cratering approval ratings. Now, how many of these folks base their regret on the price of groceries, or the fact that trump continues to reveal himself as a criminal sociopath is impossible to know.
2) More important is the truth revealed in this quote from the immortal Carl Sagan:
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

The guy who sent me this writes Could not be any clearer than that.
We’ve all heard the adage, “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”
It has a nice ring to it, but it really doesn’t hold water in the real world, where counties with strict gun laws, e.g., Japan, England, and Australia have very low rates of violent crime.
Note: these countries don’t have an NRA, a fabulously wealthy lobbying organization that controls their lawmaking apparatus.
Moreover, outside the United States, it’s very hard to find a place where a potentially mentally unstable person can go into a store and walk out with a weapon of war, capable of killing 50+ people each minute.
Actually, it wouldn’t have required a PhD in chemistry to predict what would happen to a large pool of untreated fresh water during a hot summer in our nation’s capital.
