That is an occasional roundup of people that voted for Donald Trump and are shocked to seek out out nobody is immune from the harm and ache he causes. Many at the moment are grappling with the results of their selection because it impacts them and their family members—and presumably regretting their vote.
We had been proper. We warned the world in regards to the risks of President Donald Trump, and but we had been mocked, dismissed, and derided. Too many individuals thought we had been being disingenuous, crying wolf, or simply being unfairly partisan. And we weren’t even making an argument past, “LISTEN TO WHAT HE’S SAYING!”
In consequence, we now get tweets like this, the place we had been known as:
Or this outstanding libertarian, who claims that “nobody knew how bad” Trump was, and that the one individuals who had been proper had been these with “clinical case(s) of Trump derangement syndrome.”
“Nobody” is a humorous method of claiming “millions of people who tried to warn us.”
And now that Trump has irrevocably destroyed the USA’ standing on the earth and led us to calamitous financial catastrophe, all of them shake their heads about how “nobody” might’ve recognized.
However I don’t need to choose on these two, as a result of a minimum of they’re admitting to their errors. That’s a very good factor, really. Trump was elected. The harm is completed. The query now’s how we salvage something out of this mess. And if the message voters get out of that is that Republicans are unhealthy for the financial system, that can a minimum of set the stage for a liberal revival down the street.
As an alternative, I need to characteristic a unique sort of MAGA member—the one that’s keen to destroy their very own life with a view to hate the correct folks.
This was posted—and shortly deleted by moderators—on the r/Conservative subreddit, which requires members to show their conservative bona fides earlier than they’re allowed to submit:
I voted for Pres Trump, and I would vote for him once more.
Not solely does he have a confirmed monitor report, however Kamala is blatantly incompetent, was a catastrophe of a candidate, and would have been worse as a President. Her image ought to seem within the dictionary together with the entry for “ignoramous”.
Even so, l’m not one who blindly helps all that Pres Trump is doing. I am very glad together with his having nearly eradicated unlawful immigration and am ecstatic that lastly the rampant fraud waste and abusive is being stomped out. I really like his outright help for Israel. I drastically recognize his makes an attempt to get rid of males being allowed to compete in feminine sports activities. And these are enormous; that is for positive.
Nevertheless, there are a number of issues he is doing that I’m NOT proud of.
The issues this particular person isn’t proud of? Trump’s decimation of their 401(ok), love for Putin and the abandonment of Ukraine, belligerence in opposition to Canada, and imperialistic obsession with Greenland and Panama.
Regardless of the discussion board’s refusal to let the submit stand—and the anger of fellow MAGA commenters who lambasted them for “fake” conservatism—it’s affordable to disagree with your personal occasion and the president. On the left, we don’t have an issue disagreeing with our leaders. In actual fact, at instances, it will probably even undermine us.
Regardless, the problem right here isn’t that this consumer disagreed with Trump.
It’s that they admit that their very own monetary scenario has considerably suffered—and that was written on Thursday earlier than the Dow dropped one other 5% and the NASDAQ nearly 6%—however that they might nonetheless vote for Trump as a result of a tiny handful of trans girls can not play sports activities.
As conservatives like this one inherently admit, if Trump is fucking up their funds, that signifies that President Joe Biden truly improved them. You don’t fuck up one thing that’s already fucked up. However they might quite lose their shirts than have immigrants work the fields and slaughterhouses, or for trans girls to be handled with dignity and respect. “Waste and fraud” is simply what they name it to allow them to faux that they’re not bigoted assholes.
And that’s not even entering into the plain sexism and racism directed at former Vice President Kamala Harris.
She would have been worse as president? How, precisely? Would she have destroyed the USA’ standing on the earth whereas cratering the worldwide financial system? After all not. There’s just one motive they might faux she was an “ignoramus,” and we all know what that’s.
Nevertheless it simply goes to indicate that the conservative motion’s embrace of division, hate, and bigotry has overridden folks’s instincts for self-preservation.
They might quite vote for Trump and lose every little thing than help a Black lady.
