Well that explains why Gen Z women would rather use a vibrator than sleep with them.
Not just Gen Z 😘✊🙂↔️
As a happily married Millenial whose wife and I can’t keep our hands off each other…it’s not that fucking hard to not be a piece of shit. These Gen Z men have no one to blame but themselves.
As a vibrator I feel this very personally.
Apologies for my insensitivity. I should have put this post in your language.
Bzzt bzzt bzzzzzzz. Bzzt bzzzzzzz bzzt
What did you say about my mother???
Angry bzzzting
Good job! I don’t mean to be pedantic but the second z is silent.
*Gen Y
What is this correction? What are you trying to correct?
Projection. The only thing I acknowledge as a Gen Y is being partially culpable for Gen Alpha.
Just keep them off the iPads and they’ll be fine
Gen Y are millennials. Try to keep up
If only there were signs 😞
I mean it’s not like there was a concrete example of him promising to drain the swamp and shown concrete proof of his results before, how could they have known…
Were talking about people who made a political decision based on The Joe Rogan Effluence
Just something to hint that there might be more to the story than presented…
Not really an excuse but it’s pretty common to be politically naive when you’re young. When Obama was first elected I just figured we’d immediately solve climate change and all get free healthcare and community college. I didn’t really understand how the political system worked.
I imagine many of these people thought the same way. And they may have been too young to really follow things during Trump 1.
So yeah… I wish they had been more savvy but we all gotta learn somehow. I’m willing to forgive if they end up on the right side after this.
'member when we thought “grab em by the pussy” would definitely do the trick and open some eyes? I… Yeah I totally thought that at the time…
My peers are not your rich country club conservatives. They are scrappy guys who liked Trump because he wasn’t polished or predictable. To them, he was a rebel outsider who would fight “the swamp” with all he had. I remember heated lunchroom debates where they’d argue about whether or not he could truly upend our system and its backers.
What a bunch of fucking losers.
“Predictable” is quite literally the one quality you want the leader of the biggest military on the planet to have.
“Give the demented wildcard control of the nukes”
— MAGA
It’s funny because trump is literally about as much as “the swamp” as you could be. Born with a golden spoon, socialized with only the elites, and personally fucked over working class people literally every chance he has.
It is weird because I have a similar scenario, but they voted for Trump because they’re all playing entirely within framed, false choices.
Like, one coworker voted full R because that’s what they’d always done like their parents and community always had and that was that. Always had, always will. Policy wasn’t even on the board.
Another went for Trump because they genuine want to see government fail, even as a government worker, because they think the Federal Government is the Evil, and the States are the shining beacon of Freedom.
Platitudes and messaging strategies meant nothing to them. Or at least it didn’t in 2016 or 2020. I don’t know how they went 2024 since I’d left that job.
But since then every job site I go onto with active working class labor, its just MAGA hats and bumper stickers… and/or immigrant workers. Usually they’re being set against each other by company owners who enjoy both groups lacking unions and legal protections.
The system that needs upending is the private company boss, not the government. The bosses are the ‘backers’ that need upending. Government is the last vestige where the public actually has a say.
I’m thinking if they saw Trump’s record and still voted for him, this isn’t gonna be the first time they get duped.
IMHO, people hyper fixated on the first couple years of Trump 1 where the economy was ok, he had experienced government officials putting up guardrails, and he coasting on what past administrations put in place.
They thought Trump’s was blowing bow air and they thought they were going to get 2017 again.
They are not getting 2017.
And also forget that little thing known as COVID-19…
I wouldn’t be surprised if, given the rich disinformation landscape in America, covid was destined to be an utter shit show in the USA.
Trump sure as shit didn’t help.
Weird, they were old enough to remember he didn’t live up to that campaign promise in his first term and just ended up swamping the drain even more. Did they think he was just going to do a total about face on his corruption in his second term?
This was all public knowledge before the election.
But I guess you didn’t hear about that on TikTok and YouTube shorts.
Well, depends on the almighty algorithm overlords. People were making Project 2025 PSAs left and right, and I definitely saw some YT shorts talking about the evil shit GOP and Trump would do. Cause I’m blue and YT knows (or at least thinks ) I want to see and agree with that stuff. A Gen-Z who watched Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate all day isn’t gonna get that. I hate and have never used TikTok, but we can make a similar assumption for them. Anyway, I’m more pissed at my friends who sat on their ass and didn’t vote (even after I told them that’s upsetting), who have recently said “I wish I voted.”
I guess we need to learn how to convince those around us to give a fuck. I wish I was more charasmatic…
Gen Z “men” voted for Trump because they’re racist sexist homophobic pieces of shit like their fathers are.
Their fathers were absent. Andrew Tate raised them.
Elder millennial parents pioneered unparenting. They are insufferable and have the shittiest kids. The iPad generation is how I know them.
Hopefully young men in this country wake up before the wars Republicans always start turn them into casualty statistics.
Edit: I’m a younger parent than the people I’m bitching about.
You can’t even go out to a brewery in my area without a bunch of unparented kiddos running around your feet.
Some of them even have their fucking birthdays at the brewery. Happy 8th, Stetson! Your first present this year is watching Mommy and Daddy get hammered and have public arguments.
Ah yes the alcoholic parent. We pioneered this one ourselves. Quite the accomplishment. Having never seen our parents slam down Natty Ice each day after work, we had no idea what we were getting into.
Never before in history, had anyone ever chosen to have a drinking problem, and kids simultaneously.
I get that you’re being a sarcastic asshole, but birthdays for 5 and 8 year olds at what is basically a pub is definitely a newer thing. Maybe they always had them in ancient Sumeria or some shit, but here in the states it took a while for places like this to even allow children into them.
Yeah, comments like the one you are responding to, are ignorant of history. Millennials drink less than previous generations, as Z drinks less than Millennials. Also what we now call unparenting has been a thing for long time. I have read articles discussing not disciplining your child, and believing their natural curiosity will lead them to what they need to be successful, as a concerning trend, from the 19th century. For a much more modern example, the Simpsons did a bit about this decades ago. In a flashback to Ned’s childhood, he is an absolute terror, and his beatnik/hipster parents are talking to a specialist about it, and say “we’ve tried nothing, and we are all out of ideas”. When I was a teen, in the 90s, there was a massive trend of not disciplining, or properly educating, your child because “you will just be killing their creativity”.
Every single generation gets accused of creating the worst children ever, and they were just so much better back in the day. It’s quite literally a tale as old as time.
The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
- Plato, ~400 BCE
Ah yes the tale as old as time about people throwing their child’s birthday parties at the local microbrewery and having them run around the establishment and play loud video games on iPads.
You’re right, there has been millennia of truck dads and wine moms convening for hazy IPAs and taco trucks while not watching their five year old in public.
Yeah, comments like the one you are responding to, are ignorant of history.
Ah yes, the long, storied history of microbreweries and having birthday parties for children at them.
Ah, yes, the birthday at a microbrewery, the place where children are allowed to go undisciplined, and the genesis point of the idea of people not disciplining their kids.
Seriously, do you not understand the concept of a single example being used to discuss a broader concept?

Duped? Fucking shitbags.
Nobody was duped, bamboozled, tricked, or swindled into voted for Trump.
People knew what Trump was about and chose that.
For real. The photos and videos with and quotes about Epstein, the interviews with Stern talking about walking into changing rooms, grabbing 'em by the pussy, all this existed outside of the Epstein files.
He bankrupted business after business but stayed afloat by being a con-man, and red-state suckers flooded his rallies to juice up on his low IQ rhetoric.
Now he’s filling his vault with cryptoscam cash from his idiot base buying memecoins and third-rate junk watches, so that his insipid sons can continue the family business of groping, scamming and conning. Trump has replaced Reagan as the new face of the GOP and they LOVE it, because they get to say how much they hate immigrants out loud.
They’re shirking responsibility. It’s typical. They gloated the whole way about knowing exactly what they’re vote for.
Dumb fucks.
Kids are fucking stupid, and everyone under 25 is a kid, cmv
What???
They feel duped? We been knew Trump was in kahoots with him. He’s a sexual predator, a liar, and a shitty business man. I feel like saying you’ve been “duped” shifts blame. You were not duped, you just didn’t realize you’d have to suffer with the rest of us, LIKE WE FUCKING TOLD YOU. Admit you made a selfish, shitty decision and do better.
If their only source of media was manosphere podcasts or FOX News, I can absolutely believe they were duped. It still doesn’t absolve them of being regessive dumbasses that lack critical thinking skills, though.
Stupid fucking people. You got what you voted for, and your fucked us all over in the process.
Trump is “the swamp,” you morons.
As one of my former coworkers said to me a long time ago: he’s the big orange swamp monster.
And his fucking cronies.
There’s no reason to believe trump would do anything good. The republican party is just full of bad ideas. What kind of false reality are these people living in?
This is their after the fact justification. You are entirely correct. Anyone with functioning eyeballs and the ability to put two brain cells together knew he wasn’t going to drain any fucking swamp or be making any fucking thing better.
2016 Trump voters I will give benefit of the doubt to. If you voted Trump in 2020 you knew what you were getting, and if you voted Trump in 2024 you even had a road map.
There is nothing I want to hear from these apologetic Trump voters besides “Yes, I was some combination of racist, hateful, and ignorant, and now the entire nation is suffering for my bullshit.” There is no way they didn’t know what they were subjecting the nation to, and I will not pretend that somehow they didn’t. Don’t want a Trump voter as a friend, and wish I could boot them out of my family. I sure as hell am not going to entertain their fucking platitudes.
Trump declined to release the Epstein files because he said it would falsely incriminate innocent people. But that has left them wondering: Is Trump just the swamp?
YES, FUCKING YES. HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE SWAMP. And the fact that this is the moment where you are wondering this proves my point above. Everything up to now was all good.
This whole turnabout is a personal one for my friends. They didn’t like Trump because he was a Republican; they liked him because he would be a “disrupter in chief.”
TURNABOUT??!! He has been the same person literally the entire time.
OMFG I think I have just realized. The only way out of this is if we all pretend we swallow this bullshit from bashful Trump voters, isn’t it?
Look at this shit:
They wonder: Is Trump just a showman who lied to us and deceived us this whole time?
Entirely too credible, too wide eyed. This article and articles like it are just another kind of ruse. One where we all pretend we haven’t learned something dark and horrible about 77 million of our fellow citizens, so we can throw them a bone after what they have voted in for all the rest of us. 🤮
Where do they go now? One obvious possibility is to the Democratic Party. But Democratic leaders would need to do more than act like they care about people like my friends. They need to offer a clear, transparent alternative that can successfully brand Democrats as more honest and authentic.
So the problem isn’t Trump folks, and it’s not Trump voters, either. Republicans? Nah. It’s actually Democrats. Huh.

The danger of neoliberals is they took money from trump and many just like him, and in return turned the Dem party into a pile of dog shit that didn’t actually help anyone that wasn’t wealthy
That inevitably ends with the neoliberals middlemen getting cut out, and depressing Dem turnout so much Republicans win.
The voting members of the DNC learned their lesson, they elected a chair with a proven track record of fair primaries and not standing in the way of the party’s own voters.
That’s why billionaire owned media keeps telling Dem voters to give up on the DNC.
The billionaires are scared of what happens when Dem voters get to pick their own politicians
That’s why billionaire owned media keeps telling Dem voters to give up on the DNC.
You know what the DNC could do that would undermine this message?
