Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

I'm just blown away that anyone that's not a lily white hillbilly could think voting for the lily white hill billy party was a good idea. I'm all out of fucks to give.
Fuck, even the lily white people are getting attacked. Germans and British people are getting deported, and American born white men are getting mistakenly targeted as immigrants. Nevermind the fact that their trigger discipline is nonexistent and they're happy to shoot anyone who breathes in their direction.
I truly wish I could figure out how to explain this to MAGA supporters, but I don't need to be more depressed today.

You can't explain it to them. There is only one thing those brain-deads without the capacity for basic empathy can understand: their own personal suffering.
So when you can't believably tell them, that they surely will be targeted (and you can't because their critical thinking skills are non-existent and their favorite talking-heads are telling them otherewise), there is just no point in trying.

Honestly the lily white hillbillies should have seen it coming too. Biden tried to help them and they voted for the guy who took all that funding away.
There's conservatives in every population, and that worldview is all it takes to be susceptible to the lies and propaganda.
Today we even understand why immigrants tend to specifically support anti-immigration parties and demagogues.

Part of me feels really bad about this and another part of me is thinking womp womp.
When a lying cheating criminal, convicted of dozens of felonies, tells you he is gonna do bad stuff if he gets reelected, and you vote for him, the bad stuff he does is on you too. And you get to live with it.
The real victims are the ones who recognized the evil voted against it and had it forced on them anyway.
See Stephen Colbert and turd soup. It is most enlightening.
I still have zero sympathy for anyone who voted Trump. Double so if you're not white straight male who voted Trump. There were a multitude of signs, and people warning you of your decision and you went forward anyway. This is all his fault

How many videos of people crying about their vote for Biden does anyone remember? I’m sure there were some but I don’t remember that being like a trending thing…
There might have been regret videos, but I really doubt any that might exist were even near tearful. Unless you count the dude dancing to Bo Burnham's Joe Biden song. That might count.
Well, man up, you voted for this!
No, sir, it was Biden and the Democrats fault. My actions could never have caused this. /s
I don't even feel bad for these dipshits.
They were warned and they ignored it.
They were SCREAMED at. They didn't ignore it, they didn't care.
Enjoyed it, upsetting the left was their point. Trump litterally went on stage and said "I'll be your revenge".

Thoughts and prayers.
Due to the economy I can only afford one. Thoughts or prayers, but they cannot have both.

“My first vote was for this president, and I regret it, and I’m gonna regret it for the rest of my life,” he added. “Because of me, because of my voting, He got arrested, and he lost his life. And I’m never going to forgive myself for that.”
Odds that in November he
A. Votes GOP
B. Votes Dem
C. Abstains
My guess is still A.

The mirror is a junk tabloid.
That said, I can't even muster up a shred of sympathy for some reason. The only one I feel bad for is the kid who now doesn't have a father because his uncle voted for the death of his brother.
The only one I feel bad for is the kid
Multiple kids and I assume a wife.
I'm also willing to feel sad for the guy who died. Because we don't know what way he voted; and even if he did vote for the Orange Evil, I try to limit my "you died" schadenfreude to policy makers and policy influencers (billionaires, politicians, Fox "News" hosts, podcasters, etc).

You HAVE to Understand! He THOUGHT only TRANS kids would Die! NOT his Brother!
He had a brother called Muhammad that had been seeking asylum yet still voted for the guy who wanted to deport all the people who were seeking asylum, especially if they had a name like Muhammad
But he already got the citizenship, so the "fuck you, I got mine" mentality set in
y'all really fell for the "empathy is a disease" meme
the most incredible thing about conservatives is their ability to self-replicate. when i die in a natural disaster caused by government cuts the only thing you'll remember about me is that I'm from a red state, fuck em
It spreads like a virus now...because women aren't fucking conservatives anymore unless they are forced to.

Lololololololol
Hey loser, "small potatoes" and zero sympathy. You voted for the moron.
tokens get spent, never forget that.
This used to be common in soviet occupied countries, except they tried to be quiet about it.
