Those people are totally brainwashed and cult members.

I don’t know how good messaging can counter that.

are getting screwed as bad as all of us, and even worse in some cases.........

They are starting to become "awakened" to the fact they are getting screwed, but will continue to vote Repub/Trump, because Fox News acknowledges they are getting screwed, they point out that the cause for it is:
1) Hillary
2)Obama
3) Bill Clinton
4)and even CARTER (45 Years later, BTW)

Anecdotes are not as accurate at reflecting general sentiment as well done surveys and polls.

than he did in 2016.
It's just that you have to listen longer for any of it to make sense - and it doesn't.

I can't feel sorry for anyone who voted for Trump. He was President for 4 years so they could see directly what he was like as President before voting again. Project 2025 was published and they made it clear that was going to be implemented. Did they really believe he was going to "save them?"

Nobody held a gun to their heads and forced them to vote for him. They did it voluntarily, and for too many, EAGERLY.

...they should have known in 2016 he was all hot air & craziness.
But, they probably voted for him all 3 times.
Now, they are finally critical?

They've had 10 years to complain.

That is if they didn’t go to a tough college - where you had nervous breakdowns during finals twice a year and slept in a matchbox every night and ate dorm food that anyone else would throw out.

They’re also angry because they think we have “charmed life’s;” “they eat avocado toast and go to Starbucks and read the New York Times.”

Per WSJ

It lasts for multiple meals. Hardly bougie.

from the carcass. One is cooking off as I type. Tomorrow I will make a delicious soup

C. S. Lewis said as much about folks who resented those who had higher education, letting one emote:

“Here is someone who speaks English rather more clearly and euphoniously than I — it must be a vile, upstage, lah-di-dah affectation. Here's a fellow who says he doesn't like hot dogs — thinks himself too good for them, no doubt. Here's a man who hasn't turned on the jukebox — he's one of those goddamn highbrows and is doing it to show off. If they were honest-to-God all-right Joes they'd be like me. They've no business to be different.

That's it. That's the key.

You saw his first term. You were told, but you did the equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and going "la, la, la, I can't hear you!" All because the thought of a competent woman of colour running the country in a competent manner scared the beejeebus out of you because..."reasons".
Thanks to you effing idgits, the country you profess to love, but actually hate, has become the very thing you thought you wanted. Don't want it so much now, do you?

Second time it was a woman 👠 of colour.
We can't even pretend we are an intelligent country.

his, MAGAS promised was NEVER FOUNDED upon greatness of the heart, the spirit, the soul.

NEVER FOUNDED upon empathy and concern for the well being of others... of everyone.

But founded upon hate, victimhood, fear and retribution.

Founded upon DOING HARM TO OTHERS.

Their failure? Not figuring out (from the get) that THEY were AMONG that so-called "other."

He has said nasty things many times about them. He has no respect for them.

SUCKERS AND LOSERS.

Folks beg,borrow or steal a copy of the film,"A Face in the Crowd."..
From the 50's,and prescient to today and Trumps bamboozling the gullible.
The ending of this film shows the mask removed..and monumental fall from top of the precipice.
One of the best films ever made..still fresh and timely.

was not aware of it. I'll have to look it up.

Two of what I consider the best films ever made.."A Face in the Crowd" and "Network."

Being the **BEST** of anything worth being is not on their radar at all.

Many feel bad about their vote in that they placed their trust in a man who promised them they would be better off with him, rather than the woman who said they would be better off with her.

Some will stay with him, but the others may have different thoughts entirely.

“Betrayal is starting to take root,” Longwell said.“… ‘Trump's our truth teller. Well, we know he lies, but he'll tell us the truth.’ And the fact that he is not, they're now like, ‘wait a minute. No, this is not who you're supposed to be for me.’

I'm sure he will become presidential any day now...

in jail.

Trump put on a masterful show of being a centered, rational person with well thought-out solutions to the nation's problems. They simply got conned

Oh wait, that isn't what happened? He ranted like a lunatic and tried to overthrow the government and tried to cover up Covid and they still voted for him again?

Failing that, they'll continue to vote Republican in each and every election.

They'll keep voting "R" forever, though.

It's a declaration of "bravery" that they'll never be called upon to support.

Fuck them.

Like ten years later, the 💡comes on for these people.

of ALL the American citizens who DIED and WILL DIE (children, women and men) due to the mafia administration (Trump, Kennedy, Hegseth, Miller, $50K-Homan and Noem) because of THEIR own stupidity of refusing to acknowledge our dire WARNINGS.

Congrats, losers! You are now complicit in their monstrous mass-murders (that didn't have to happen if Kamala had won).

All the rest of us have cause for complaint, but not them.

They voted for a worse economy, a worse job market, higher cost of living, higher health care costs, higher insurance costs, a worse community, a worse quality country. All of The Dotard's policies were laid out in advance, and all of the results they are bemoaning are effects of the policies they voted for.

Why did they vote for this if they didn't want it? Are they fucking stupid or something?

Fuck the fucking fuck out of you!!!

And that was my opinion from the start, when he was on 'The Apprentice'.

Haven't changed my mind since, other than to add 'dangerous' to that description.

But a lot of Americans were trained from an early age to not think and just follow orders.
Parents, schools, politicians and the Military all pushed that line.
And those people found comfort in that non-thinking.

They and everyone else are now paying the price.

I live in an independent living facility and the population is mostly Silent Generation with money, lots of Republican businessmen who neverr asked any questions when thatt party told them the GOP owned patriotism and fiscal responsibility and even god.

Well, it took them a lifetime, but they're sure asking a lot of questions now., especially suince they're all realizing they might not be able to aford this place much longer. These people didn't fuck around as much as they simply trusted blindly and unquestioningly and now they're all finding out, in spades.

OIr, as my mother said, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth--great clods of it, right in their faces."

As infuriating as I found the unquestioning, incurious loyalty of these people when I was younger, I have to confess these days I just find it really sad.

"DOW JONES IS OVER $50,000"

Buyer's remorse:

“I feel like the longer he's in office, the more we're going to plummet to not being a good community or quality country at all, period.”


Yes indeed.

They didn't care because they thought OTHER PEOPLE would suffer, not them. I despise them. As for what's her name, his partner in crime, she wore it on her back, 'I DON'T CARE DO U?'
