That is an occasional roundup of people that voted for Donald Trump and are shocked to search out out nobody is immune from the injury and ache he causes. Many are actually grappling with the implications of their selection because it impacts them and their family members—and probably regretting their vote.
We have been proper. We warned the world concerning the risks of President Donald Trump, and but we have been mocked, dismissed, and derided. Too many individuals thought we have been being disingenuous, crying wolf, or simply being unfairly partisan. And we weren’t even making an argument past, “LISTEN TO WHAT HE’S SAYING!”
In consequence, we now get tweets like this, the place we have been known as:
Or this distinguished libertarian, who claims that “nobody knew how bad” Trump was, and that the one individuals who have been proper have been these with “clinical case(s) of Trump derangement syndrome.”
“Nobody” is a humorous means of claiming “millions of people who tried to warn us.”
And now that Trump has irrevocably destroyed the USA’ standing on the planet and led us to calamitous financial catastrophe, all of them shake their heads about how “nobody” may’ve identified.
However I don’t wish to decide on these two, as a result of no less than they’re admitting to their errors. That’s a good factor, actually. Trump was elected. The injury is completed. The query now’s how we salvage something out of this mess. And if the message voters get out of that is that Republicans are dangerous for the financial system, that may no less than set the stage for a liberal revival down the street.
As an alternative, I wish to characteristic a special form of MAGA member—the one that’s keen to destroy their very own life so as to hate the proper individuals.
This was posted—and shortly deleted by moderators—on the r/Conservative subreddit, which requires members to show their conservative bona fides earlier than they’re allowed to submit:
I voted for Pres Trump, and I might vote for him once more.
Not solely does he have a confirmed monitor file, however Kamala is blatantly incompetent, was a catastrophe of a candidate, and would have been worse as a President. Her image ought to seem within the dictionary together with the entry for “ignoramous”.
Even so, l’m not one who blindly helps all that Pres Trump is doing. I am very joyful together with his having nearly eradicated unlawful immigration and am ecstatic that lastly the rampant fraud waste and abusive is being stomped out. I like his outright help for Israel. I enormously recognize his makes an attempt to remove males being allowed to compete in feminine sports activities. And these are enormous; that is for certain.
Nonetheless, there are a number of issues he is doing that I’m NOT pleased with.
The issues this individual isn’t pleased with? Trump’s decimation of their 401(ok), love for Putin and the abandonment of Ukraine, belligerence in opposition to Canada, and imperialistic obsession with Greenland and Panama.
Regardless of the discussion board’s refusal to let the submit stand—and the anger of fellow MAGA commenters who lambasted them for “fake” conservatism—it’s cheap to disagree with your personal occasion and the president. On the left, we don’t have an issue disagreeing with our leaders. Actually, at instances, it could possibly even undermine us.
Regardless, the difficulty right here isn’t that this consumer disagreed with Trump.
It’s that they admit that their very own monetary state of affairs has considerably suffered—and that was written on Thursday earlier than the Dow dropped one other 5% and the NASDAQ nearly 6%—however that they would nonetheless vote for Trump as a result of a tiny handful of trans ladies can now not play sports activities.
As conservatives like this one inherently admit, if Trump is fucking up their funds, that implies that President Joe Biden truly improved them. You don’t fuck up one thing that’s already fucked up. However they’d quite lose their shirts than have immigrants work the fields and slaughterhouses, or for trans ladies to be handled with dignity and respect. “Waste and fraud” is simply what they name it to allow them to fake that they’re not bigoted assholes.
And that’s not even moving into the plain sexism and racism directed at former Vice President Kamala Harris.
She would have been worse as president? How, precisely? Would she have destroyed the USA’ standing on the planet whereas cratering the worldwide financial system? In fact not. There’s just one motive they might fake she was an “ignoramus,” and we all know what that’s.
But it surely simply goes to indicate that the conservative motion’s embrace of division, hate, and bigotry has overridden individuals’s instincts for self-preservation.
They’d quite vote for Trump and lose every little thing than help a Black girl.
