“We voted for Trump, not realizing that he was going to slam as hard as he did, but it was on day one when he sat down, right after inauguration, and started signing those executive orders and just trashed us federal employees, it was a kick in the teeth,” Ron said.

“That point was the beginning of my turning away from MAGA.”

“If people would just listen and research and do something other than just listen to Fox News, we may all be better off, but it's going to take an open mind and an ability to say, ‘I made a mistake,’ because once you say you made a mistake, you can turn the ship around,” said Chrissey Kelley, 50, a stay-at-home mom.

"Wir haben es nicht gewusst" is what the average gerry said, after exposing them to Birchenau.

For those who don't know German or those who don't know history, that translates to "we knew nothing about it." and in this case, it is of the more hilarious because Trump said he would do exactly this.

What an interesting way to phrase this. It translated to "Did we not know" for me. I really like that translation because it asks a rhetorical question about Auschwitz. A blind eye so you can sleep at night. They probably are protesting too much as well.
