All the warnings fell on deaf ears, huh? Must be service-related hearing-loss.
evangelical christians were lied to
No they weren’t, it was all laid out, they just didn’t think but would happen to them, or they only heard what they wanted to hear.
He’s been elected by these fools, he doesn’t need them anymore.
Huh finally one that didn’t say “I’m awfully upset but I would still vote for him again.”
It only matters when it affects them personally. Fuck him.
His wife did, look where it got her.
“evangelical christians were lied to” — yeah, and you fell for it. there is no excuse for falling for it again. none. you have access to the internet just like the rest of us, if you were too stupid or ignorant to make sense of it at the time, that’s on you and the community you belong to. fuck all of you sheeple
Imagine your racism for strangers being stronger than your love for your wife. What kind of person would you be? … I guess he would know.
If it makes it any better in my experience the average Trump vote is pretty fucken stupid. Use my grandmother for example where whenever I have any trouble dissembling a piece of tech around her her first response is to suggest the sawzaw. Point is they ain’t very bright and a lot of them legit don’t know about how bad he is due to information and propaganda bubbles.
Man, got really confused here for a second reading this. Probably perfectly understandable for a native English speaker though and I learned a few new things; sawzaw = Sawzall = reciprocating saw and dissembling being an actual word.
Dissemble is a word but I believe they actually meant disassemble here
Sorry about that, I have only ever seen it spelt that way. What your looking at is a phonetically spelt word from a rather hick dialect of old Inland Imperial Southern Californian.
I don’t need to imagine.
JD Vance has a Indian wife and mixed kids.
And let’s just say only JD Vance is doing well for himself.
Glad I didn’t marry him
They didn’t learn a damn thing. They will still vote for him again.
“It is one thing to just not deliver,” she said. “But to act in the way that he has, which is so dehumanizing, so cruel… this is why we are seeing the beginnings of real cracks with this president and his base.”
The beginnings of real cracks? WTF? He doesn’t need you any more! You elected him already. Why would he possibly care? If he’s president beyond the end of this term, it won’t be because a free, fair and legal election took place! Why would he fucking care one ounce of a fart what you, a powerless nonentity, think of him? There’s nothing you can offer him in the future. He only ever cares what you can do for him. He has never cared what he can do for you. Ever.
were lied to
No shit, Sherlock! The world’s most famous, prolific and egregious liar whose desperately stupid lies were pointed out to you many, many times, and just today you realised he was lying to you too? How utterly stupid are you?
Your last paragraph is what surprises me the most, because that’s just not the case. Project 2025 was very clear, they weren’t lied to, they just heard what they wanted to hear.
Actually, you’re right.
Conservatives broadly fine care about suffering and hardship unless it directly and specifically affects them. Even then it doesn’t always sink in, either.
Continuing to fund anti-abortion efforts even as they pay for another mistress’ mysterious trips out of state.
The only belief that’s been
shatteredmildly bruised is that he is in the in-group, and that by association his wife is too. But it’s a safe bet that he still believes himself to be in the in-group.Exactly. You vote for the Leopards Eating Peoples’ Faces Party because you want to watch the leopards eating someone’s face. You just never believe it will be your face.
“Why did you vote for him?” a member of Congress asked.
“Because I was an idiot,” the veteran replied.
This was him speaking to congress, seems he learned.
If it took until now for him to ‘learn’ then I don’t trust his ability to actually learn things.
Having grown up in the southern US, it can be indoctrinating. Especially in religious areas of which he is a part. Am I going to defend him? No, he made his choices. Am I happy he’s willing to go speak in front of congress? Yes.
Evangelical Christian people were lied to, if you really want to know the truth. And that’s exactly what happened.
Evangelical Christians are easy to lie to, if you want to know the truth, because they disdain intelligence, preferring their world in which they cosplay magic in fairyland 24/7 without even a tiny hint of self-awareness (because they have none). Given the same choice he would do it again, because he’s too cost-sunk in his dumbass roleplaying to do anything different.
Evangelical Christians just want to hear that they’re going to be rewarded for their suffering. Catholics as well. The Rapture, Heaven, Honoring the Son of God…
It’s a whole group of miserable people who are desperate for affirmation that their misery has meaning. Then they groom their children into miserable lives, and pressure strangers into being miserable as well. It’s incredibly sad.
thoughts and prayers for the Evangelical Christians
Who’s doing the lying?
…. He goes on to say that he and his wife were both ministers. Seems like they’d be part of spreading the lie
Something something leopard faces
Hence why I posted it in this sub
I know a veteran who married a women he met while stationed in Panama. He also adopted a kid from Panama. They were all loud and proud MAGA on the socials up until about 6 months ago. Now all of it has been removed. GEE I WONDER WHY?
We’ve got a family of psychopaths loving below us, from some Eastern European country. They’ll bang on their ceiling if we move around after 9 pm. He tried to actually prohibit it, but I told him no, not politely. My landlord seems to hate them, too. They were trying to get his attention on the sidewalk a while back, and he barked at them “I told you that I don’t want to hear from you unless your place is on fire!” He likes us, though.
But ever since Trump took office again, and ICE started rounding people up, these people have been SILENT. No banging on the ceiling , no dirty looks, no monopolizing the courtyard, etc.
I’m pretty sure they’re just flying under the radar, knowing that we could make their lives miserable with one phone call. I wouldn’t do it, but if the tables were turned, I have no doubt that they would dime us out in a heartbeat.
Man I feel bad for that kid. The wife should know better, but the kids just there
Again, the classic quote rings loud ‘I didn’t think the leopards would eat MY face’ It’s super hard for me to sympathize with ignorant racists.
That’s because you shouldn’t. Don’t ever sympathize with nazis.
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaah Q
Have the day you voted for moron.
the problem is that someone else is suffering the day he voted for, he is just upset the government took his property
Also I have to remind myself that a hundred “leopards ate my face” stories still only represent a tiny drop in the ocean of assholes who are cheering on the fourth reich
I’m now of the opinion that most of the “trump voters” (which, again, not the majority of the country, and I’m not 100% convinced the election wasn’t bought or stolen) are either ignorant but generally well-meaning people who probably thought Reagan was fine and just want this admin to be over with while keeping everything they have and, ideally, “getting more” - OR - are the racist bigoted garbage people we mostly assume them all to be on here.
The difference is enormous, and it is absolutely controlled and maintained by traditional media. (Which now includes the trainwrecks of facepals and the nazi twits.)
Totally preventable, absolutely foreseen, and fwiw explained 1,000 different times in as many ways. But here we are either preaching to the choir or fighting with leftists because they’re the only other ones smart and/or savvy enough to be here.
TL;DR it’s not going to get better without a popular Democrat.
It’s not going to get better even with a popular democrat. Over and over again, even as the leopards are ripping their faces off, they announce that they’re sad about getting eaten, but they would totally vote for the Orange Felon again.
Politics for them isn’t about choosing a good government, or getting someone to represent them properly. It’s team sports, and you have to vote for your team so your side wins.
I think that’s partially true but not completely. A popular Democrat shifted things to the better in 92 and 2008. They did so amongst most of the same Fox “News” and Limbaugh followers that had sewn up everything before.
Yes, there are ‘sports fan’ politics that will never vote for a woman, god forbid a black woman, or a gay man, probably for our foreseeable lifetimes. Right now, they tip the scales.
So when the Democrats put forth a white man next (or, possibly, a black man) let’s not be shocked. I mean, this place will go up in flames and our ‘leftist’ compatriots will work overtime to defeat them again, but - that’s why we’re here (again). Because the majority of voters can’t imagine a better world that isn’t very much like the one we live in now. And imo that’s true across most if not all democracies.
Radical progressivism has no allies. Radical conservatism has immediate history, allies, and a very, very low bar to entry. So if we don’t move forward from the middle, it’s probably not going to move forward. That’s not ideal, but it’s likely the reality.
Or thought half of what Trump said was just to “trigger the libs”.
so they weren’t just evil, but stupid and evil
She married a MAGA Republican so I doubt she was amazing either.
she’s fits in “leopards ate my face” for the guy it’s “leopards took my property”.
And she chose to be with a racist piece of shit, and now she suffers the consequences of her actions. Pardon me while I make a fucking sandwich.
I dont mind the petty schadenfreude,
You know, I never liked Jackass, or reality tv. I’m not even a big fan of The Office, because I just don’t find pain very funny. But at this point there’s just no excuse.
Because jackass is just someone getting hurt, here? The world is a better place because leopards ate their faces
