Hey, I’m not biased, man. He talked a good game
No he didn't, what he talked of was he was going to be shitty, you're just a horrible person and annoyed he's not shitty enough for you.

He talked a good game
No he didn't. You're just incapable of thinking critically. ESPECIALLY since we already saw what a phony he was the first time he was in office. There was no possible way to be "fooled" at that point unless you're so full of hate that you WANT to be fooled.
The problem with that is that they all get different news. It's all propaganda. My Trumper buddy thinks that liberals are killing everyone. The difference in media is astounding.
It's even worse.
He wasn't fooled. He knew very well what he signed up for. And he was fine with it until things personally affected him. And now he claims he was "fooled".
Nah, he's the same racist, Nazi supporting piece of shit he's been for the past ~10-12 years at least, but now that it's negatively affecting his life, he's trying to leave the sinking ship.
That was the point in the article where I just started laughing. Imagine telling the entire internet you're just gullible as fuck, willing to be swayed by someone's cheap words. Basically an open invite for con artists to flirt with him.
this is how conservatives are swindled by scams, like crypto so easily.

I don't think a man with chronic work-related concussions is the most reasonable voice.
He's a ~~meathead~~ strong, alpha man in a position with a lot of public eyes that other ~~meatheads~~ strong, alpha men can look up to for guidance.
Hey, if his admission to being tricked by Trump's lies causes other ~~MAGA folks~~ strong, independent thinkers to have a little introspection and change, I'm all for it.
If you know anything about that community, they pretty much only watch the meathead stuff. This is probably the only way to even get a message to proliferate through that community. Thats how trumps message filtered through, there are so many meathead influencers ranging from actual professional bodybuilders to the weird shaped guy at your local gym who sells steroids.
He talked a good game
No he didn't, at all. You're just really stupid so you think he did.
It's really obvious if you've learned to think critically. If you haven't, then it's easy to fall for the lies. There is a reason why he's the central public figure of the GOP. The man provably knows how to rile up crowds.
If you haven't learned critical thinking, that is the same thing as being dumb.

He "talked a good game" if you are a moronic bigot. This guy is still a moronic bigot despite his "revelations".
At least he’s admitting he’s wrong. I’m willing to let him save face a bit even if it’s completely fucking obvious to anyone that paid attention to his first term that he’s completely full of shit.

Did he though?
He did if you're stupid and bigoted.

Anybody saying "I would take a bullet for x" and never going anywhere near x in order to be able to intervene, is just talking out of their arse.
It’s interesting that there’s still no self awareness and no personal responsibility - like: “it was written all over the wall but I was blind to see it because of my biases and judgments”. Instead it was “I was lied to”.
That's the only path to getting these people turned around. They've, rightly, been called cultists and fascists. Keep telling them they're wrong, they double down. We already saw this the first time around.
I'm very forthcoming when I'm wrong, but I still have an easier time saying I was bamboozled than plain stupid.
That's how I see it.
There's also something that folks forget about people that get suckered in like this: It's not their first rodeo.
Imagine you're someone that gets below average marks in school, makes a lot of simple mistakes, and has to work to meet average expectations in life. All this gets called out and checked a lot by people that seem to be having an easier time at everything. A lesson the world teaches people like this is: never admit you screwed up, because maybe this time nobody noticed. It's an environment where you just get emotionally beat up if you don't protect yourself. So, to me at least, it's not a surprise that a lot of people react to being called out by defending their ego every way they know how.

How is it wrong to say they were lied to? Trump consistently says if we do awful things, the results won't be awful they will be amazing.any of these republicans have to go against their local community if they disagree as well, there is a lot of resistance. Try to have some empathy here as surely you are ignorant about something sue to circumstance as well, and I'm sure you would want to be treated positively if you were to realize your mistake.
Now that's a good revelation for the wrong reasons lol
(sending) Ukraine all of our tax dollars
That's not what he's doing
No mention of Argentina either but take what you can get 🤷♂️
Do you think even knows Argentina exists?
Of course he does, they accepted his favorite kind of refugee back in the day.

"Yeah, I do think that Donald Trump is that beast of Revelation 13:3."
Man they just can't help themselves but to continue being dumbshits even as they come around to the Trump grift can they.
I know it's highly subjective, and highly open to interpretation, but I think you'd be surprised at how many 'beast of Revelation' checkboxes Trump fills in. It would be comical if not so real.

This is the one piece of weirdly uplifting news I needed to hear. If a bigoted idiot can see the writing on the wall, then there's hope for us all
He'll still endorse Trump or his replacement in 2028. Just wait and see.

As far as I understand it, it's not like he regrets his bigotry or anything. He just regrets believing Trump would do anything about it. He's mad that Trump isn't fucking the right people in other words.
Which is, genuinely, progress.
He was voting for a guy who he thought embodied his (fucked up) values, and is now becoming aware that the guy only values himself and fucks everyone. Hopefully next time he will vote for a politician he can actually trust, and actually reflects his (bigoted) values at a meaningful level.
He drew the line at Epstein and sending tax money to Israel/Ukraine. I'm actually impressed he noticed that that line had been crossed

I really hope more magats start having some self awareness. The hubris is so blatant that even total idiots can see through it
It's not that he supoorts a better, more sane and caring president, he wants something even worse and is disappointed that's not Trump.
I mean, if they think like that post they'd still vote for fascism if it was christofascism.

And, of course, they’re sending Israel and Ukraine all of our tax dollars just like the numb-nuts before him did.
Helping Ukraine destroy the top US enemy while not losing men is probably the beat deal US ever had, this argument is BS. Remember, Trump is a problem/in power because of Russia, and Russia will do everything to keep destroying US from the inside out. Israel is fully understandable, but this guy no longer supports Trump because of helping Ukraine? Fuck off

But a problem here is this guy is upset that he helped ukrain, like Biden did. Was he supposed to not help Ukraine then this guy would be happy.
