u/FrostyAcanthocephala, there weren't enough votes to determine the quality of your post...

"Americans who were stupid enough to vote for Trump yet again beginning to realize at a glacial pace that they voted for people who are going to fuck them over royally and destroy their nation and democracy just as they promised."

A little wordier, but apt.

Hold on. That blathering idiot has no plan? What? Shocked! I’m absolutely shocked!

His plan was to stay out of prison.

Concepts and tariffs, my friend.

He has a plan. It is just that the plan will fuck them over.

I doubt the numbers will be too high beyond a small number, his MAGA crowd seem to be diehard into it. I know there will be groups of people with buyer's remorse, but those are more than likely minority groups who bought into the propaganda. Still, their faces are going to get chewed off just as much as the MAGA crowd, and they will suffer knowing they were tricked. Maybe they will buckle down with the rest of us and try to survive this, or help fight back when it inevitably goes that far. In the end, only time will tell. Stay safe out there my friends, protect yourself and raise a hand for your neighbor.

I'm honestly more interested in hearing about the swing voters and Centrists/Independents that went for him rather than the MAGA bunch. Those fuckers must be feeling real stupid right about now.

Same. All those “we have to punish the democrats” protest voters can suck it.

u/sparkyVenkman 1d ago

Those voters are the ones we're going to be hearing about mostly, the top doggo MAGA hats all want this and are cheering for it.

And will continue to blame the woke left when their lives don't improve.

u/vegastar7 1d ago

I don’t think they’re feeling stupid right now since Trump isn’t president yet, and these people obviously don’t keep up with the news.

Hey MAGA. I hope you remember this.

I hope you remember that for the rest of your lives.

I'm not sure what the default response to the trump cultist who sees the proverbial penny drop past their eyes and a light switches on and they say and think at the same time: "I'm fucked"

Pity? Contempt (I'm leaning to this because we're all fucked), or derision, ridicule...combination?

u/Intelligent-Tie-4466 1d ago

I fear that very few will actually see the "penny drop." I suspect most of them will hold on to their delusions until they finally pop off. I think we'll see a few and try to draw bigger conclusions from that than are reasonable. They are cult followers and they don't give up easily. We saw this during covid, hundreds of thousands dying of a disease they insisted didn't exist.

The worst part is that he isn't even in office yet.

Oh well. Too little too late.

Not Americans. MAGAtards. Everyone else saw this coming 100 miles away.
