A Reddit comment by user “Damichia480” in the “Conservative” subreddit reads:

It too late he straight up broke every campaign promise.

“No new wars” Bombed iran and is about to fund Urkaine like Biden did

“Mass deportation” not enough and is keeping the illegal immigrants working as slaves and H1B

“I will release the Epstien files” “The flies on my desk” - Pam Bondi. Recanted everything he said and say there no flies and Republicans BLOCKED the release

Patel was hired to take care of the deep state but he is no different from them

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

RIP MAGA we been terribly lied to and betrayed by the people that shouldve served us but they devolved into being part of the establishment.

Hey, OP, per Rule 4, can you add alt text to the post?

Edit: Thanks, OP!

Wild that one if their issues is there haven't been enough deporting.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 61 points 2 weeks ago

That's because the person wants the horrible things to happen and is just mad that Trump isn't following through on the horrible stuff they care about.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Obama actually deported more than trump, and Trump won't be able to catch his numbers. Trump is just doing it in an abominable fashion.

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

I think that's because Obama was turning people away at border crossings which count as deportations

That's what I have read was the reason his numbers were so high

Not that I agree with it either way but there's a big difference between that and the suffering being inflicted by Trump's policies

Every once in a while, MAGA is so close to getting it. But they never seem to be able to connect the dots.

Oh look, the useful moron realized he was used. If only they could realize how fucking stupid they are and stop listening to obvious liars merely parroting what they want to hear...

"devolved into part of the establishment"

No dude, they were like this the whole time, but very good at the grift.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Were they really that good, though? I'm not particularly intelligent and it has been obvious for years, and mindbogglingly obvious for the last ten.

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 weeks ago

I hate to say bit, but yes, they were very good. There's a fine line to walk when turning a functional democracy into a totalitarian fascist state. It was obvious to roughly half the population, but the other half bought the lie. It's not easy to keep that many people hoodwinked when there's a nearly equal number screaming the obvious. They did just enough, but didn't go far enough to tip the scales against them. Until now anyway.

I really really hope that this is the "new generation" of Republicans (the Vances, the Johnsons, the Hegseths) that could have taken it to the finish line that their predecessors (like McConnell) have spent their lives patiently moving the pieces to only to lose it all because these greedy idiots are speed-running the last mile and tipping the scales. Fingers crossed.

Mass deportation isn't enough? If there was any doubt they want to get rid of all non whites this is it.

And anyone against giving Ukraine weapons doesn't know fuck all about history. Everyone thought they could sit out the Nazis until they were invaded.

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah that stuck out too, and the part about illegal immigrants working as slaves. Like, yes, that isn’t good. But the solution is to….? Deport them? What?

"You promised to be horrible to the people I wanted you to be horrible to, and it's turned out that you're not horrible in the way I wanted you to be."

[–] Booboofinget@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Or more like "you promised to be horrible to the people I wanted you to be horrible to. Why are you being horrible to me?!!?"

It's wild that this person thinks there isn't enough mass deportation happening. Just goes to show that even as his face gets eaten he's still a shitty human being.

The thing is, absolutely no one could have foreseen such a horrible outcome.

[–] LadyMeow@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 weeks ago

Absolutely no one. Literally no one was talking about it, not one person. It’s wild, how could we have possibly known!!??

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

Silicon Valley, Wall Street, J Street, and Israel are getting exactly what they asked for.

I don't see what the problem is.

It's worse that that, they didn't devolve into being part of the establishment, they hoodwinked you and played you for fools the whole time.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

Damichia480, the problem called itself the solution and you're dumb enough to believe it. Fuck you.

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I mean, for some reason, I think it would be worse if they never woke up somehow.

I’m getting too hopeful about all this. That this will be Trump’s watergate.

I know there’s a good chance everyone stops caring but I really hope this sinks him.

[–] bcgm3@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Right there with you. "It's the hope that kills you" versus "Jesus please just let the world make sense for EVEN. ONE. DAY."

Please let epstien be the catalyst to bring all this shit to an end. So fitting it would be.

they devolved into being part of the establishment.

I like how they think voting for people who most benefit from the system and who the system is made for and modelled after was never the mistake. Those people just weren't strong enpugh, somehow, to be corrupted by that system.

Hands down the dumbest people I've ever personally witnessed in my life or ever read about in the annals of history.

I had no clue before the last decade that people without actual, physical brain damage could be this stupid.

I'll believe it when I see it. Last I checked, 25% of Americans (not Trump supporters, all Americans) professed that they will follow Trump literally no matter what he says or does. That was years ago. This cult is propaganda-driven, so that number is probably higher now.

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I’m deep in the trenches, this is the biggest crack since Jan6th. All Teflon Don has to do is shut up, do a sham investigation. Blame the dems, greta, literally doesn’t matter they’ll believe anything but he just can’t help himself from self sabotaging it’s glorious.

There was no devolving, just the usual lies the simpletons lapped up.

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In a sense, I'm reminded of another line from 1984 - if there is hope, it lies in the proles.

If these people actually wake up and realize what went wrong, do you think they can generate enough oomph to unseat a bunch of Republicans in the midterms?
