What a long-winded way to admit that he's an idiot.
But you did, buddy. You can't just absolve yourself of your involvement because at that particular time you couldn't see the forest for the trees.
If they truly feel that they got something different than they voted for, they should remember that they were told a lot of this would happen by one side and told it wouldn't by the other.
The next time they vote they should remember that and consider more than simply "left bad, right good". But we all know they won't. They will just say "the last guys were bad Republicans, this new group are good republicans" and vote the same way again.
I've long thought that conservatives are the party of "me". They appeal to selfish desires which is why they are successful. It's like playing the lottery. I didn't win this time but I might next time so I'll keep playing.
I read somewhere that the impulse to vote more conservative came from the emotions of digust/revulsion & that polls could be skewed more progressive by simply cleaning up the polling place. Cant remember the reference off the top of my head.
Not a comedian. Just a clown.
I appologize to hard working community of clowns dedicated to their demanding art.
People who voted for this shit, knowing full well who Trump was and what he did, lost the right to open their trap about the consequences the minute they cast their ballots.
Fuck you funny man.
We been eaten good this summer fam!
There were two things Donald didn't actively lie about in the campaign:
- His immigration crackdown.
- Letting RFK gut our health infrastructure.
So this person did actively vote for those two things. The rest is debatable.
I can't understand how any of these idiots expected anything different from Trump. How could they possibly not see all of this coming, a mile away?
These people are completely incapable of reading subtext.
Or text for that matter. They only saw the headline ”Make America Great Again” and went for it.
What subtext? It was clear what these assholes were about. And even if it wasn't, they were warned a gazillion times by literally everybody else.
Saying that he will end war while also praising Putin and Bibi.
Or that ” enemies from within” means people who disagree with him.
Or when he says he understands tariffs more than anyone else, he probably don’t.
They DID see it coming, but they thought they were part of the in-group that wouldn't be affected. A disturbingly large number of us Americans are A-OK with fascism because they think they'll reap the benefits with none of the downside. We love punishment when it happens to The Other.
Susan Sontag was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10% of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10% is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80% could be moved in either direction” —Kurt Vonnegut
They’re just upset Trump isn’t hurting the right people.
You voted for 100% of it.
"Trump voting comedian"
Say Andrew Schulz, stop allowing these people to be anonymous.
Also, MAGA deserves to be enslaved. Like, legitimate slavery. Let them pay reparations that way.
Advertising lies to us all the time. Trump is a master of advertising. It's why he's been president twice. We've all fallen for scams because of advertising. It's why people still think that Democrats want universal healthcare and communism.
We need to forgive our comrades for falling for advertising and welcome them to the revolution. Getting mad at them and alienating them will prevent the revolution. All working class people are allies who don't know it yet.
It was just a joke, man, can't you take a joke, "brah"?
