Transcript:

I've been a loyal Trump supporter since 2016.

I lost a job, friendships, been smeared online, doxxed, and pressed charges on people who've stalked and harassed me for supporting him.

If Trump doesn't want my support, because I care about the Epstein Files, then I'm done.

Bye.

Can't wait to see what stupid shit he latches on to next.

Obvious stupidity aside went to the "non-satirical" r/conservative and even there the temperature looks bad for Trump. I'm actually surprised that there is so much negativity against Trump there now the mods were not able to delete enough comments.

Turns out the possibility that the president is a child rapist is hard to look past.

They looked past that for the last 12 years.

No, I think the media machine is trying to phase trump out, by finally rubbing it in their stupid faces, like a dog's nose rubbed in shit.

Trump has been riling up his fan base and conspiracy theorists since the election. Actually, he has been riling them up since the 2016 election by accusing the dems of all being pedophiles and saying he was going to lock them up. But in the 2024 election, he talked about Epstein specifically quite a few times and led his base to believe he would actually release the Epstein files. Unlike the economy, which you can use various metrics to claim it’s doing good or bad (stock market, grocery prices, etc.) Epstein is a pretty black and white case of “he’s literally a pedophile and was found guilty for doing lots of horrible things.” Everyone, conservatives and liberals, has spent many years rightly hating the guy, but also waiting for everyone he was involved with to also be punished. The maga base was dumb enough to believe that it was only dems and maybe a few unimportant republicans on the list, but they’re out for blood that Trump is refusing to give them, so they’re starting to actually turn on him, a little at least. Trump’s big mistake was thinking that he could use the Epstein files like he’s used everything else so far. In his mind, pedophilia is no different to Hillary’s emails: just a way to rile up his base and use their anger. He assumed that if he stopped talking about it then they would too. He’s so out of touch and evil that he didn’t realize that to the average, non-elite American pedophilia is unforgivable and it’s something conservatives will actually fight against (that’s why republicans accuse trans and gay people and basically anyone they don’t like of being a pedophile: it’s wildly effective)

The moment Trump openly starts killing brown people in his death camps they will all come running back.

"Forgive me, Daddy."

Thoughts and Prayers

Maybe.. just maybe people shouldn't worship politicians, or anyone rich/famous to begin with. But what do I know, I'm just a simple person who doesn't want to deport/imprison people for the color of their skin or take Medicaid and food away from the poor.

The fear of pedophiles is higher than this guys racism/queerphobia? A win i guess. I welcome every person that stops to support Trump because there are still many who do.

Like i really god damn hope that this of all things is what breaks his neck. If there is a god, hear our prayer 🙏🙏 (cause i am somewhat doubtful)

It's such a bizarre hill to die on. I only wish I could hinge my entire political life on the gossip around some random celebrity pimp's murder.

Imagine losing a job and friendships to worship the star of NBC's The Apprentice.
