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.
You must log in or register to comment.
Hitler did away with the SA, you think Trump is going to worry about some disappointed magas?
I googled this guy to see if this story was in any way significant, and his other posts are so Poe’s Law batshit that I have no idea which of them are serious and which aren’t.
The part that chaps my ass about this is… The damage is already done. Trump can not get voted in again. He’s on his second term, of two max.
So all of this shit is too little too late. You fucked up. You fucked everything up. And now you realize the guy is a piece of shit because he won’t release a list of rich people who are paedophiles and rapists? A list he’s very likely to be on?
This is the line?
Holy shit. Of all the terrible stuff he said he would do, and all of the terrible stuff he actually has done… And you fucks put him in the office again.
And this is the point where you finally stop supporting him?
Honestly, I’m a bit relieved at the current situation, because I wasn’t nearly as certain he was done. With incidents like January 6th, all the claims of voter fraud, his clear abuse of systems like presidential pardons and executive orders, I really thought Trump had a genuine chance of overturning the 2-term limit and twisting the US into a bona fide dictatorship.
I’m relieved to see his astounding incompetence finally reaping results in his polling numbers again and again, because it’s breaking the spell he seemed to have over half the country. Hell, it’s even breaking the allure of fascism in the elections of other countries at this point. His gross incompetence during this presidency is single-handedly moving the whole world a little more to the left.
At least he has a bottom line, and might think a little more critical next time, maybe. Some people just close their eyes and chant the propaganda.
If I could ask these absolute pickle-brained weirdos one thing: “What else do you think he’s lied about?”
I can accept that folks who support the orange menace may cease supporting him. However, these kinds of posts are all but impossible to substantiate. Not sure how many people could actually be behind the guy at this point.
Baffling that THIS is their line.
Not that surprising. Republicans have been painting Democrats as Satanist baby killers for decades. Republicans have also been campaigning on the lie that the Epstein list is all Democrats, Woke Hollywood, and Silicon Valley Tech Bros. To the average brainwashed minion, there is zero reason to hide the client list. They want their righteous lynchings.
Also note that Trump has campaigned on “draining the swamp” a lot, and now people realize that he himself is the swamp that he rallied against.
Swamps are great. They’re havens of biodiversity. Trump is the logging machine from Ferngully, and Stephen Miller is Hexus.
Swamps are great. They’re havens of biodiversity.
i know right? in my next life there’s a 50% chance that i’ll be an insect living by a swamp
I spent a week kayaking in a burning swamp full of alligators, and I can honestly say it was the best time of my life.
Shout-out to Stephen C Foster state park in GA.
I suspect that possibly, it’s actually not about the Epstein files but about the BBB.
Notice that it’s probably not a coincidence that this drama broke out 1 week after Trump signed the BBB on July 4, which is gonna put millions of people of Medicaid.
Also notice that a lot of conservatives are probably pissed off about Medicaid but realize that it’s difficult to move their fellow people to care about this, as the point of not giving “free handouts” has been enforced too much. Instead, they focus on Epstein as it’s a moralizing drama, that people get very emotional about rather easily.
Republicans went hard on the conspiracy crowd for support. QAnon, antivax etc. /r/conspiracy became a conservative propaganda group. A lot of the diehard Trump people are very invested in this narrative.
It’s going to be difficult for the party to say, “oh yea, that thing we’ve been feeding into for years, please stop immediately” and have people listen. Some are going to go along, but a lot won’t. It’s become their identity.
This is their OUT. Many of them know they’re idiots but are too proud to say they are wrong.
So when he got elected the FIRST time. He got elected twice so far don’t forget that, i was 100% convinced that people can not be this stupid and when they realize how vile and stupid he is, they suddenly just cut all ties and are gonna pretend they never voted for him and only idiots did. But no, they doubled, tripled and quadrupled down so often that i think americans are just build different and they actually don’t need a way out.
So many leopards eating faces. This is a cult of idiots, the only thing that seems to be pulling them out of the spell is this scandal that would make Watergate pale.
So we found the cultists breaking point: Something universaly moraly reprehensible that is undeniable in-front of their own eyes, and for him to contradict himself within days.
Some of them, anyways.
Yuup, there are plenty that would believe him if he said he was Jesus. The ones that seemingly have no breaking point.
I’ve never heard of people harassing a Trump supporter unless the Trumpet was baiting them.
Key feature for republicans is that they are persecuted at every turn. Just like Jesus!
“My neighbor is gay. He has a rainbow flag on his car, and sometimes his boyfriend visits him. Help, I’m so persecuted!”
These people are the reason why our nation’s average IQ 98.
Is this supposed to be an insult? It kind of reads like one, but setting aside any questions of IQs validity, it is laid out such that 100 is average.
So what you’re saying essentially is that the nation’s average IQ is average, which is not an insult in my book.
in agreement with the validity of all your points, but counterpoint: for the supposed greatest nation on earth, an IQ below average is kind of embarassing. doesn’t matter how much below - it’s below average for the greatest nation. obviously that’s a subjective qualification, but imo those are mutually exclusive statements.
🤣 this shit made my morning.
I thought 98 < 100
Sounds like a 98 question, by your standards.
spoiler
(jk)
water at 98°C isn’t technically boiling yet but you’d be slightly miffed if i poured it on your hand
Think about it… A little harder
You have to remember, some people are 98s.
Some people are just 8s. Like the guy in the image.
Being loyal to ANY politician is insane.
I love Bernie. While I don’t agree with him on everything, he’s consistently been on the moral right side of most issues. Here he is being arrested for protesting segregation in 1963:
However. If he did even 1% of the things Trump did, I would call him out for it, demand he do better, and support his primary challengers if not. Unconditional loyalty to a politician doesn’t keep them in check, and actually harms us all…
Agreed. I like Bernie and AOC not because I always agree with them but because they both seem to be trying to make things better.
+1.
Even if someone wholesome (Mamdani?) somehow took over the Democrats, or any cool party, I would never be “loyal” to them.
Maybe this is my old millennial ass shaking my fist, but I don’t get why folks are loyal to influencers. Loyalty should be two way and reciprocal, to friends and family one knows personally, not asymmetrically to someone who makes a living from thousands following them.
Respect and admiration? Fine. But this guy’s a poster child for why loyalty is too far. After all, what does Trump think of him?
Seeing “old millennial ass” just seems so wrong.
We’re the young generation, right? We’re like, 25 at most. Right?
I’m 40. Oh my god. I need a Camaro and a broccoli haircut so I can fit in with the hip crowd. Broccoli hair is still a thing right? Haha
Man it goes so fast.
(hehe), sure brother, you’re still young. ::cracks open a beer and hands it to you:: have a seat in this lawn chair next to Gen X and tell us about it.
I know.
Curls into ball.
I do have natural broccoli hair, though…
As a gen y (I refuse the notion of being letterless dammit!) I have no idea what broccoli hair means…
It’s a perm, but for the youths!
I didn’t either!
Lucky! :p
At least you still have hair! I started shaving my head a few years ago at 35. Still haven’t gotten used to it, but I think it looks better than when it was thinning out in the front and getting stringy.
Not only am I blessed to have a full head of hair, but my younger brother has always been so much more handsome than me. Girls clawed to get to him, they fought to get to him.
It was so funny the other night when I was on a video call with him and his wife, and I don’t even remember the comment that I made, but she pointed out that he was bald, and I had a full head of hair and I nearly lost it.
I’m sorry that probably hurts you. It’s just a win for me, it was always so fucking easy for him. Now he’s bald and mad about it, and here I am with a beautiful lion’s mane.
He could read this comment easily, he knows all of my usernames and shit online.
So hey, I have a full head of hair asshole. Where’s your hair?
It’s so crazy though, everything I ever did, he did it better. Just across the board entirely. Still to this day, shit I busted my ass on for 25 years. He’s doing it better with no effort.
So all I really have is my hair. He has it all, the lucky bastard. It’s only right that he went bald. Nobody should be able to have it all.
Ehhh I made it longer than all the other males on my moms side. They all went bald in their mid 20s. Gotta hurt.
Wait til you hit fifty, it’s really disconcerting.
Trump literally told them that he will not need them after this again. No, he does not want or care for their support!
“In four years, You don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good. You’re not going to have to vote.”
Being loyal to anyone who doesn’t know your name personally is borderline insane.
I can vaguely imagine soldiers being loyal to a general in a war. If a general always seems to find a way to win, even against the odds, I can picture his soldiers being willing to… well not to die for him, but the opposite. I can imagine them being fiercely loyal and trying to protect him because he’s making sure they don’t die.
You basically plucked the thought from my head as to why I added ‘borderline’ to that sentence. Yes, in a desperate situation, it’s not insane to glom on to the safest option available.
But war has never been a great place for being rife with sane options, it’s almost always created by one or more people being insane in the first place and making it their neighbors’ problem.
Yeah, the reason why war is worse than hell is because there are no innocent people in hell.
Yeah, describing yourself as a “loyal” politician supporter basically means you’ll ignore whatever wrong doing they do and root for your “team”.
The closest I could say to being loyal would be AOC and Bernie, since I agree with most of their political stances and the things I do disagree with them on is mostly what I consider non-issues. But I’m definitely not running around waving their flag or wearing a big dumb hat to label myself, and certainly not vehemently defending any political blunder they might make.
There are friends I promised to stick around with
I feel like that ought to extend to everybody. I’m “loyal” only to the acts/values I’m on board with, and even then, not really, because I’m always open to changing my mind based on new information.
The concept of sticking with someone out of loyalty, regardless of who they are, after they’ve done something horrible, makes no sense to me, personally.
The Cult of Personality
Know when you get the joke a few minutes after everyone else laughed at it and it’s pretty embarrassing?
Imagine being a decade behind the curve.
Too bad they didn’t get it before November and locking us in for 4 years.
Anyways, I’m glad all those bad things happened to him.
4 years if we’re lucky
it wasn’t even a decade, its been probably 40 years of trump having terrible media coverage
At least he wasn’t a national problem back then.
Imagine losing a job and friendships to worship the star of NBC’s The Apprentice.
Imagine losing your own family because they chose to do that.
Oh wait, I don’t have to, went no contact years ago.
Imagine thinking you are the victim because you supported trump.
Imagine voting for quite possibly the biggest conman in the 21st century and get surprised when he pulls the rug out from under them.
Or a rapist.
Or a felon.
Or?
And!
How does this come up as enough of an issue at work that your boss takes action on it?
I’ve worked with several people that got fired in the last 8 years who claim it was their politics.
True, they all were hard right republicans with Trump/MAGA bumper stickers.
But they all got fired because of their behavior and misconduct. They are just claiming they lost their job for being Trump supporters because suddenly that means it’s not their fault and they were persecuted for beliefs and identify, not something they actually did wrong. Nobody really gave a shit about their politics and bumper stickers. Zero self awareness among this crowd; claim the victim cause of who they were then immediately turn around and spew the most foul rhetoric I’ve ever heard about LGBT youth.
By being a cunt about it every hour of every day with coworkers and customers.
Yeah, you don’t get fired for supporting a political party, you get fired for bringing it up constantly and being an ass.
If you asked my coworkers they wouldn’t know my political views.
He mentioned doxxing so could be…:
He advocates for Mexican genocide or something, reshares “rapists and drug dealers”, whatever—and his boss/company execs get an emailed screenshot.
Code of conduct says racism bad, he signed it, bye.
(^ pure speculation)
Hell, some of my former coworkers didn’t even know I was sentient!
Are you sentient?
Hey, whatever, y’know? At the end of the day, does it even matter?
And some of the people online don’t even know he’s not.
People have called me mysterious before, yes😏
Or because the person you elected has Musk lay you off.
Aka supporting the party that fired you.
Ah, so the same reason christians are “persecuted for their beliefs”.
"So are you being persecuted for believing that Jesus was the son of God? No? How about that Jesus sacrificed himself for humanity? Still no? That you should love thy neighbor as you love thyself? Not that either huh?
I wonder what it could be…"
They identify with a political group who’s primary recognizable characteristics are publicly wearing an extremely identifiable bright red hat and actively mocking and trolling their perceived opponents even in completely fictitious situations.
It’s not much of a leap to say they acted similarly at work and got fired for being an asshole constantly.

This could also apply to a party built entirely around the Limp Bizkit song “Hot Dog,” I believe.
@halcyoncmdr @wise_pancake
> actively mocking and trolling their perceived opponents even in completely fictitious situations.the fucking irony
To vote for this idiot you must be an idiot. Yes, everyone who is ok with trump is idiot.
To be fair he wasn’t the star of the apprentice he’s just the loudest asshole willing to brag about being on a dumb TV show.
And he was never really “the star”. Everyone who watched that show identified him as the villain. They watched to see how creepy and douchey he would be.
This made me think, in an alternate universe, which already semi-famous TV personality from 20ish years ago would the worst segment of a population worship?
That dog whisperer guy?
40 years ago it was Ronald Reagan.
Dog the bounty hunter?
Y’all forgot about Chuck Norris already?
On a random note, like 10 years ago one of my friends in Colorado (where Dog the Bounty Hunter is from) made a post on a forum trash talking Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife.
Shortly as afterwards a signed copy of Dog the Bounty Hunters book appeared on my friend’s doorstep that said something like:
[My friend’s real name] - heard you’re a fan. I’ll catch you next time
I should point out, my friend posted online using a user name and not his real name. It’s possible that he leaked his real name at some point?
A reality star bounty hunter exhibiting stalker behavior towards people he doesn’t like? That honestly makes so much sense. He deserves the shit talking
You’re fired
Well bye, I guess. Took him 10 years to figure out that voting for the “Punch me in the dick, repeatedly” party wasn’t a great idea.
Oh no, he’ll still vote Republican
Maybe he’ll vote for the Musk party instead, exchanging one big ego for another to worship and get disappointed by.
Yes, please split the idiot vote.
Shhhhh
Never interrupt your enemy while they’re busy fucking up
