I'd like to see a game developer chiming in but as a user, 30% cut by Steam feels justified.

They have helped me discover and buy many games that I wouldn't have even heard of otherwise. Compare that to Google Play Store which is full of dogshit shovelware and Pay2Win games.

And sometimes I've even bought Steam keys via Fanatical bundles, where I chose which games to buy by looking at their Steam store pages. Steam got nothing from these transactions as far as I know.

This is without getting into other useful stuff like guides and forums hosted by Steam which I can look at whenever I get stuck. Or Steam workshop which allows users to easily mod the games.

Call me a fanboy but I'm tired of this 'what about Steam' comments.

Ask Sony, Microsoft, Google, and Nintendo to improve their stores instead.

Well that's OK. There's too many massive emotional support vehicles on the road already.

My friends aren't burning up the planet just to come up with that useless response though.

I despise Modi but him resigning won't do anything

That's not the point though. During Dr. Manmohan's time, BJPee used to scream about his resignation anytime something happened.

And Modi has still done nothing about Manipur, let's not forget that.

And no one's asking for Modi to resign, unlike previous governments.

Some solar equipment exporters in Cambodia face the highest duties of 3,521% because of what was seen as a lack of cooperation with the Commerce Department investigation.

Products made in Malaysia by Chinese manufacturer Jinko Solar faced some of the lowest duties of just over 41%.

Another China-based firm, Trina Solar, faces tariffs of 375% for the products it makes in Thailand]Neither company immediately responded to requests for comment from BBC News.

No Democrats, no bots, no trolls.

This is a platform dedicated to collecting and sharing stories from Trump supporters who feel betrayed by Donald Trump and/or the elected (and unelected) officials who enable him. Our goal is to give voice to those who have experienced broken promises, policy reversals, or other actions that contradict the values and commitments they told us they believed in.

Name 'Em and Shame 'Em

We voted Republican because we believed the promises. They were going to lower the cost of living, lower the deficit, reduce government spending, end endless wars, stop illegal immigration, lower taxes for working class Americans, and put the brakes on out-of control woke ideologies.

Instead, the cost of living is increasing, the deficit is increasing, services we depend on like Medicaid are being threatened, jobs are being cut thoughtlessly and indiscriminately, and the President's priorities have slipped out of alignmnent with ours. Our representatives seem to have forgotten us in their haste to appease the administration, and our voices are not being heard.

Here, we tell our stories of betrayal, and name & shame those who perpetrated them, and who by cowardly inaction enabled it. We will make our voices heard by the lawmakers that have abandoned their constituencies.

Share Your Story

Use the My Story section to share your personal experience of betrayal. You can choose which details to keep private and which to share publicly. We do not share private details with anyone. Ever. The server is out of reach of the administration. The details we ask for are only used to validate that you are a real Trump supporter who has a real story.

There are no comments or discussions. Submissions should include "receipts" that we can use for moderation. We're going to look and make sure these stories aren't fake, aren't generated by AI or anything. We will, upon request, redact any identifying information displayed on the site.

In the Betrayers section, you can see which government officials have been associated with stories of betrayal and read those accounts.

The News section collects news articles about Republicans and MAGA voters who are speaking out about feeling betrayed by government officials.

Our Values

Truth: We verify stories and provide a platform for authentic experiences.

Privacy: We respect your privacy and give you control over what personal information is shared.

Accountability: We believe our elected representatives should be held accountable for their promises, actions, and inactions.
