Transcript:

I've been a loyal Trump supporter since 2016.

I lost a job, friendships, been smeared online, doxxed, and pressed charges on people who've stalked and harassed me for supporting him.

If Trump doesn't want my support, because I care about the Epstein Files, then I'm done.

Bye.

to be fair, if anyone was going to expose Epstein's list, you would surely expect it to be one his closest friends.

When owning the libs goes wrong

These people are the reason why our nation's average IQ 98.

[–] ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 8 points 3 days ago (11 children)

Is this supposed to be an insult? It kind of reads like one, but setting aside any questions of IQs validity, it is laid out such that 100 is average.

So what you’re saying essentially is that the nation's average IQ is average, which is not an insult in my book.

I'm glad there actually is a moral line for these people. But, as best as I can tell, we're still not over it for most of them.

I hope no one ever lets them forget how much had to transpire before they found where that moral line was. I am going to go to my grave being spoken of as that nice old man who had a kind word to for everyone until the moment he would find out they were a Republican.

There is no moral line for them. Bet this post is fake

I'm wondering if this incident is providing an off ramp for some people, mentally.

Like, it's hard to admit being wrong, or picking the wrong side. There is a certain amount of dissonance they must feel. This provides an opportunity to exit.

Could be, but I'm about six months past caring about the mental state of Trump voters.

I'm going to die of age before we've patched up the damage they voted in. That optimistically assumes we really ever patch it up. My kids are going to have to live a good chunk of their lives in this fucking dystopian hellhole they voted and cheered for. And I look back on decades of life and realize this is the logical endpoint of where US conservative politics have always been headed: a stripping away of rights from women, minorities, and queer folks and gutting of our educational system for the sake of keeping the populace stupid and controllable. Every conservative policy I can recall has been in service of these goals.

The only new part is that they are openly embracing oligarchy, everything else is stuff they've been saying or doing somewhat more politely for as long as I can remember. They finally got power and immediately did exactly what everyone who has opposed them all these years predicted they would do, giving the lie to "compassionate conservatism" and "big tent" and all the other crap they tried to paper over their bigotry with in the past.

Unless somehow stopped, Trump will turn our nation into nothing but a breeding ground for literal human resources for the oligarchs. It's why they vilify and don't want to fund education, and also don't want to pay for healthcare. (and why they don't see the value of the EPA, the FDA, or protecting our national parks against exploitation for profit) Somebody has already run the numbers and figured out that it costs less to treat loss of human resources as the cost of doing business than to fund healthcare. No vaccines needed. As long as enough people survive to do the manual labor the oligarchs need done, and buy the products that they helped produce so they can go back the next day and produce more of them, what do they care? Sure, let the people who can afford it get insurance and care. There's no financial incentive to help the rest of us. It's also the same reason they are anti-birth-control. They literally want a nation of breeders. (And normally I despise that term.)

Fuck those people whether they realize how badly they have fucked up or not. They have fucked over the entire nation with their asshattery, despite Trumps behavior in his first term and after, despite the proliferation of information about project 2025 prior to the election, and despite 8 years of the rest of us trying desperately to explain to them how they were going to fuck us all in their rush to own the libs and win the culture wars.

I couldn't care less about whether they get the needed offramp unless it increases their chances of laying awake in bed at night in horror and shame at what they have dealt to the nation.

Edit - my tone not intended at you. :)

You could, y’know, stop being an obnoxious twat about being a trumPet and that would solve 90% of the personal problems you describe.

It still doesn't sound like he's learned a damn thing. The stripper just didn't like him back.

Why can't you people practice basic discernment?

This is in no way real.

Wow, I am surprised by this: I really thought he was going to be named Kyle judging by the profile picture.
