Wait, no...I voted for other people to get fucked over.

You nailed it, that is the motivation behind voting for trump. I'm not American, but I have never purposely voted to fuck over my fellow countrymen and women. How can you say you care about your country if you do that? I felt bad for the American people when they voted for him the first time, I don't this time.

it's because it's all a zero-sum game to them. if someone else is getting something, they must be getting less. nevermind that they have no ambition, no education, and no desire to better myself - their life sucks because immigrants are picking crops at an amount per week that would not get them to do that job per HOUR.

Billionaires are role models to them. Well only the Trump type of billionaire.

u/Richard1583 26d ago

Yea I can imagine many have this idea/ visage of trump working hard and earning his wealth as a blue collar worker but many don’t know how he was actually raised and many still think he never asked a dollar from his family

u/GRex2595 24d ago

Their wealth can't trickle down if they don't get more of it. Surely one of these days the dams will break and all that money will come rushing to the bottom.

1

u/llDS2ll 24d ago

The dam may need a little help breaking, by force of course.

We basically live in a country that thinks equality and equity means oppression for those who already had

u/Fandango_Jones 27d ago

Trump government / business is just a big game theory of stupid, in my opinion. Take away as much as possible to heart other people. If it hurts some of my minions, that's a sacrifice I'm willing to take.

u/athejack 26d ago

As an American I agree. America is hyper-capitalism which is just zero sum game for everything here.

u/Kutikittikat 27d ago

Yes this always complaining about what they presume other get uugh.

u/Waste-Author-7254 26d ago

You basically described me but I still wouldn’t vote to arbitrarily destroy the lives of people I’ve never met.

It’s just Evil.

u/GRex2595 24d ago

All the time. How many times am I seeing posts of some poor soul who couldn't make a business work complaining about losing their car while an immigrant is buying a nice vehicle for their business assuming that the immigrant got handouts that made them able to afford nice things. Maybe they're just better at business than you.

u/Anxious_Cheetah5589 27d ago

that's a whole lot of assumptions you're making

117

u/pescabrarian 27d ago

But a lot of us didn't vote for him and hate him and everything he stands for! Do you feel bad for us?

84

u/Just_Keep_Swimming13 27d ago

I am sad for you. This is truely awful.

25

u/AMPAglut 27d ago

Yes, I (and many others) still do feel very badly for you. Worse, really.

10

u/TheTexasCowboy 26d ago

A lot of voters didn’t vote, you forgot to add that too.

13

u/pescabrarian 26d ago

Sadly true. I can't understand not voting!

u/Kapha_Dosha 26d ago

I cried on the day of the election results. It's hard for me to talk to Americans who don't visibly feel as strongly as I do. On the day of the election there was a guy in a group I am part of who seemed to be sympathising with his relatives who voted Trump and their reasons and didn't seem that upset, or at least didn't show it, and I couldn't help thinking, wait how does he really feel about this? The thing is, we don't know what each of you really did in those voting booths (or didn't do, if you didn't vote). All we know for sure is that you're American.

This is going to be one of the painful, lasting legacies of Trump's presidencies. The loss of trust. We can't trust you, and you can't trust each other.

u/pescabrarian 25d ago

I called in to work that day and sobbed 😭. I felt like I was mourning the death of our country. Im not sure how we'll recover from this MAGA movement. Im heartbroken. I cant trust my neighbors or "friends" anymore. How could they do this to their fellow Americans? It's disgusting and disturbing and disheartening to say the LEAST

2

u/Kapha_Dosha 24d ago edited 24d ago

I can't imagine how awful it felt for you. Even in 2016, I cried, and I was crying because of what it symbolised, that the world as I thought I knew it, is not the world as it is. The U.S. had elected this man. The U.S, of all places.

I wasn't even crying as an American. I can't imagine how that would feel.

As I said to people on the day after the election this year, I am really sorry you have to live through it.

u/garoucrinos 26d ago

Yeah trust I do. Am also Hispanic but it’s hard not to feel a little bit when these ah are getting what they wanted to do to others.

u/terrierhead 24d ago

I absolutely do. Solidarity from a Latina in another red state.

u/TransBrandi 27d ago

Apparently loads of older Cuban-Americans in Florida are definite ladder-pullers that hate new refugees from Cuba despite being the same themselves. It boggles the mind.

u/East_Reading_3164 27d ago

Young ones, too. They are here for five minutes and think they can kick others out of the country.

22

u/i_drink_wd40 26d ago

"But they did it the RiGhT WaY". Back when all they had to do was make it to dry land, but still think that years of submitting paperwork is remotely the same thing.

u/TheAugurOfDunlain 27d ago

I think of them like those bucket crabs. They could escape if they worked together, but instead they pull each other back down when they try to climb out.

u/guycoastal 27d ago

They’re like inhabitants of a loaded lifeboat afraid that taking on any new survivors will drown them all.

12

u/WitchesDew 27d ago

Not even. They mostly don't give a fuck about others. Many don't even think that far ahead, tbh.

Because to them, their countrymen are people who look, think, and act like them.

Everyone else is the enemy within.

u/hopesnopesread 26d ago

Mass deportation is a form of state sponsored terror (like what stalin and putin did so well) that destabilizes society and makes people distrustful and liable to turn on each other. And this is part of its purpose. putin is delighted with our election results.

u/Necessary-Till-9363 27d ago

I've never voted to fuck over anyone. 

Now, if you tank the economy and the stock market and I'm able to swoop in and pick up assets at bargain basement prices I'm going to laugh in your face and ask how much winning you're getting with Trump.

u/Affectionate-Act3099 27d ago

I am here for it! I cannot wait to see it happen! 😂

This time they deserve whatever hell trump decides to do

Ladder pulling

u/unsolicited_flattery 26d ago

Please and thank you. Where did this logic go? Why did politics become tit for that?

53

u/Oberon_Swanson 27d ago

Well, how were THEY supposed to know Trump didn't want Hispanic people in America? Or that he'd start in the same state he lives in?

18

u/SquirrelGirlVA 27d ago

They have short memories. Last time around, people voted because they thought he would only get rid of the "bad hombres", only for him to also go after everyone and everyone.

Now they voted thinking that he would only get rid of people who came over illegally and those "bad hombres" in specific, so they don't think that it applies to them, as they think it will happen to someone else. Not realizing that they and their families could end up as one of the targets. After all, the last time around, the people imprisoned were only a small percentage, so it couldn't possibly happen to them.

17

u/Puglady25 27d ago

It's sad. Obviously, he starts in the state he lives in. He doesn't LIKE those people, and he doesn't want them anywhere near him.

u/Reinamiamor 27d ago

So where does Kash Patel land? He's pretty dark brown. Not sure maga can ignore that 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/WitchesDew 27d ago

Some Indians think they're viewed differently. They'll find out soon.

4

u/SwimmingPrice1544 26d ago

Yeah, it's kinda weird, but East Indians specifically seem to be OK by the far right...to an extent; like you say, we'll have to wait & see. East Indians DO happen to be fairly classist & sexist, which explains their love of capitalism & oligarchy.

5

u/WitchesDew 26d ago

You're absolutely right. I hate that we have to wait and see. Misogyny is too big a part of Indian culture.

Edit: classism is probably a bigger issue, which for me, is hard to acknowledge.

7

u/PUNKem733 27d ago

You should see how many of these maga idiots say they live a good life, who work hard, and are not criminals that trump will be going after the "bad guys".

Hopefully this medication of honey and hungry leopards will cure their far right sickness.

That's all the thought I'll give these people. No prayers, just that thought.

Anywho.... How about those Miami Dolphins?

u/WitchesDew 27d ago

Prayers don't do shit anyway.

u/JeromeBiteman 27d ago

People vote their values, not their self interest.

u/WitchesDew 27d ago

Trump voters have no values besides misguided, blind self-interest.

u/photozine 26d ago

I'm sure South Texas will get similar treatment.

u/waitingtoconnect 26d ago

Most Hispanic voters will after a generation or two identify as “white” or already see themselves that way anyway.

u/MagicianBulky5659 26d ago

Honestly 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/spin_me_again 26d ago

I stopped caring after I saw who voted for the leopards. I will be fine. My family will be fine. But I’m so pissed that the people I worried about couldn’t be bothered to worry about anyone else because they were too busy pulling the ladder up behind themselves. Just…… no words…..

1

u/Lemon_Club 26d ago

But people who can vote aren't illegal immigrants? What?

u/MarzipanThick1765 23d ago

As it was written in the new Testament.

u/Alarming-Ad1100 27d ago

I don’t even understand what you mean the people who voted aren’t gettin deported they’re citizens

21

u/Now_Wait-4-Last_Year 27d ago

US citizens get deported all the time from the US all the time. Look it up, it even has its own Wikipedia page.

u/PM_ME_BOOBZ 27d ago

You should tell ICE that.

u/TimequakeTales 27d ago

It's possible they know people they don't want deported.

-9

u/Alarming-Ad1100 27d ago

Lmao bullshit hypotheticals

-12

u/le_Menace 27d ago

So illegals are voting then?

11

u/PM_ME_BOOBZ 27d ago

Other way around.  Legals are getting deported.  Happened last admin, will likely happen again.  I only had remembered two cases but someone has been posting four so it happened at least four times.

-3

u/le_Menace 26d ago

Wow, 4 times!

1

u/Blze001 25d ago

They aren't stopping with the illegals, the ones who are naturalized and voted will be in the crosshairs as well.
