Australian here who was 100% convinced that Trump ran as a joke to get Hillary elected in 2016.
Now here knowing that Trump is an insane old man who should be in a retirement home and not running a country.
But I don't care for the fact that most of American politicians are supporting the terrorist state of Israel. Trump is an insane old man but Israel is horrific. Phone bombs, burning children alive, pumping US citizens tax dollars (that was given to them) into lazy American politicians.
Every day I waited for them to announce it was a big joke when he decided to run for president. Now our country is the joke.
Seriously up until I got the message that Trump had become president and Hillary had lost I was 100% convinced he was running as a joke and doing everything he could to help Hillary.
The next time he became president I am 150% convinced that Elon musk rigged the election.
I never liked Hillary Clinton but Kamala Harris is brilliant.
I'm not an American, neither is Elon and I have hated Elon Musk since back when he was a beloved left wing hero.. I hated Elon Musk from the moment I saw him and I'll hate him until the day I die.
I hate lots of others, Disney, Amazon, Adobe, Microsoft CEOs.
Just don't get me started on how much I think I should be the emperor of earth.
You got my vote. Can't do any worse right?
Reality: "Lol wha? He was a president before?"
ahem (taps the Maine Dem Primary)
We were unaware of critical information at the time. Information that was clearly suppressed. Do however note that we kicked the guy to curb IMMEDIATELY upon finding out, so can we call that an "oopsie?" please.
The man was nothing but red flags, from the Reddit history and abuse allegations to the literal totenkopf tattoo. You were still supporting a nazi abuser before you found out about the rape.
Was the totenkopf not a huge red flag, liberal?
Been doing this for a year now and it's LIBERATING. No. Regrets and haven't looked back.
In my personal experience I find women are more willing to do this than straight men. Just putting that out there, and I wonder if anyone else feels the same
THAT'S why I've got so few friends! It's my high standards for justice!
"Fuck off shitbag. You can't hang with us; You voted for a rapist pedophile."
Harris probably would have lost in any case, but in retrospect I wonder if she would have had a better chance if, of course, Biden dropped out sooner; and instead of the lame, "they're so weird!" angle, if she had leveraged her time in criminal justice to press hard on the fact that Trump is a fucking criminal. Like seriously, criminal vs prosecutor. The narrative could have written itself.
A lot of people don't like cops. And I don't believe her time as AG was spotless enough to pin up against a man who had already (incomprehensibly) overcome the fact that he was found liable for sexual assault by his first term.
Biden should have never run in the first place, sticking to his word to only take on one term. Proper DNC primary should have occurred, and the Dems would have gotten the strongest possible candidate regardless of who it ended up being.
Disagree with you on one point though: The “they’re weird” line of attack worked, it undercut anything that the Trump/Vance team could say or do. The problem was that line of attack was dropped for being too vulgar/uncouth - their political advisors instead pushed for a unity-style centrist campaign message, hence bringing on Liz Cheney of all people.
Leave out the sorry and you have the exact words I said to an uncle.
Son, if those people socialised at all we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with.
the silver lining of being a very queer trans person is no one who voted for him wants to hang out with me anyway, so i dont end up running into them in my social circles. they might want to fuck me though, which is weird dichotomy...
If it helps, a lot of them would also kill you on the spot were it came to light they were having sex with you. Then use the gay panic defense in court.
Stay safe please!
Hell no.
This should've been normalized in 2016. Probably long before that even.
"Hell no," is a weird response. Just because you should have done something in the past doesn't mean you can't start now. It should be normalized every year.
That's around when I started cutting people out who couldn't see reason. Haven't seen some people for a decade. They thought it was politics, I pointed out they wouldnt leave their daughter alone with him, maybe not vote for a shitty human being rapist? Cut a lot of ties unfortunately. They thought he was going to save the world LMAO.
Found the last message I sent last person I cut from my life. Can't find one from 2016 atm.
I'm unblocking your number to send this final message.
I don't associate with Trump supporters, FULL STOP. You're free to believe what you want, I'm free to walk away. I set this boundary in 2018 and began enforcing it in 2021 after the Jan 6th Insurrection. I want absolutely nothing to do with this administration.
We started talking about car repair because you seemed like a normal, everyday guy. Learning that you're a proud Trump supporter sucks because I did enjoy helping and hanging out with you. But your views are the completely opposite of mine if you think America is being "saved" by Trump. Your idea of "saving" is very strange.
Trump is a 34x convicted felon (for fraud no less), convicted rapist, accused by dozens of women of sexual assault, who raped his previous wife, hung out with pedophile Epstein (why aren't the Epstein files released? What is Bondi hiding?) regularly on the Lolita Express, talks about wanting to fuck his daughter, selling Trump meme coins, peddling products out of the Oval Office, Tesla commercials on the White House lawn, selling "gold card" citizenships for $50k (you can come to America as an immigrant, as long as you have/bring money), dodged the draft yet talks trash about armed services and veterans, defends the nazi hate group the proud boys, calls voters "stupid", threatening to take away citizenships of anyone he doesn't like or criticizes the government (literally what the nazis did, revoke the citizenship of Germans who opposed them)… I could go on, but it's wasted energy.
Logic and reasoning didn't get you into your current beliefs, login and reason won't get you out.
Every accusation by a republican is a confession.
People who look up to Trump or think their ideals are the same, are NOT people I want to be around. This isn't a political stance, we can debate all day on whether students should get free food at school, or that justice doesn’t exist in the eyes of the law, only punishment, etc. This is a moral issue. I will not be part of this fascist regime that American has become with all these concentration camps and deportations for people coming here for a better life, fighting with our neighbors over tariffs. Everyday it's a new stack of lies and distractions from the previous day, inundated with bullshit so you can't even respond before 27 new issues are hitting headlines.
I will not provide links, if you want to check it, you can google. Unless you discover it on your own, you won't check my links so it's a waste of my time. I've been through this, you aren't the first person to be removed from my life over Trump support and won't be the last.
This is a line I draw. Maybe one day you'll see that this is a hate cult, it's all part of the grift to help the millionaire an billionaire class, but I won't be around to care.
Rapist, fascist, racist, insurrectionist, pedophile, felon, conman, serial liar... Why sell him short?
All that stuff was well known BEFORE the election. That's why I don't have any respect for those who now claim they "made a mistake".
It hurt most when my sister told me that she voted for him. Most of my family did but I didnt know that at the time.
My family aren't bad people but this post makes me realize more that I just dont want to talk to them.
Dont want to be reminded that they voted for trump twice.
That I wasnt smart enough or trusted enough or just there enough to stop it.
Even if I could have, the media machines had them. PA suburbs bleed into country.
I dont know...I just remember listening to a 3-4 part podcast about Trump, in 2016, when most people knew that he was a slum lord and a weasle.
Anyway, im listening to this podcast on my sister's couch just stupified that he won and I say, "Knowing all this I can't believe this is who got elected."
And her just saying, "Well I voted for him."
I just...it hurts man. And every time im there is have to pretend it doesn't.
Dont want to be reminded that they voted for trump twice.
3 times probably, and looking forward to the 4th one already.
dude they are bad people, think of the wives of the guards at Auswitz, looking after hearth and home, That's your sister.
