2016 Election Night Pictures

Winfield is a sad case study in one particular outcome of bullying. You see, whenever he was at all critical of Trump, many Trump supporters posted this (trigger warning):



In other words: "If you don't get in line and bow down to Trump, then you might as well call yourself a $h*tlery supporting Democrat!" It seems he succumbed to the bullying, and eventually took on that persona himself. Now, he thinks the only way to prove he is a Real Republican™ is to wholeheartedly embrace the new emperor of the Republican Party, and bully anyone who thinks differently.

It's quite sad, really. I think there still is good in Winfield, but he is too ashamed to show anything other than a fake Trump-loving caricature. If only he would realize that you can be critical of others who use the label "Republican" and still recognize as a Republican yourself. "Those who support Trump don't get to decide who is and isn't a Republican."¹ I don't expect to get through to him, though. After all, I'm just a butthurt crazy liberal who is wrong about everything. Perhaps, in time, he will become himself again, and cut the charade. The only person he is fooling is himself.
