As one of my former coworkers said to me a long time ago: he's the big orange swamp monster.
And his fucking cronies.
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.
Gen Z "men" voted for Trump because they're racist sexist homophobic pieces of shit like their fathers are.
Also, I don't know why so many dickheads talk about "upending" things. It takes a lot to have large complicated working systems.
Any old asshole (or even something as simple as a virus) can "upend" a system. Why is that a value in itself I will just never understand.
I don’t believe that. Anyone dumb enough to vote for trump thinking he would drain the swamp is way too dumb to ever realize he’s been duped.
Yeah but the pod cast Bros are waffling a bit and that's where they get their cues from.
Gen Z was born 1996-2009, the oldest were 19 years old in 2016 when Trump campaigned to drain the swamp, which famously didnt work.
Only racists and fascists voted for him after 2016. He was surprisingly open about all the terrible things that have happened so far in his second term while on the campaign trail. Although I never listened to his campaign ramblings (nor did a large chunk of his crowd), I didn't see reports about the drain the swamp slogan after the first term.
How did it take them 9 years to feel duped?
How did it take them 9 years to feel duped?
These idiots live in sewer-like information ecosystems.
Only racists and fascists voted for him after 2016
Not only. I know people who don't fall into either of those groups. They were just gullible and stupid. Sure they were perhaps pressured by someone that falls into the first group (the bigots). Never underestimate peoples proclivity for stupidity.

Most recent election had zero Drain the Swamp bullshit. Trump is the swamp.
Gen-Z men have bad judgment
I mean, they complain about a "male loneliness epidemic" that they themselves have created by being deplorable pieces of ahitm to women and minorities. They can get fucked.
As a gen z man who did not vote for Trump, supports the rights of people, and generally is a good person to those around me - generalist arguments like this are poison to your goal. Blaming every man from 14 to 29 (depending on who you ask) is only going to succeed in alienating those men who are not going to be unreceptive of your actual point.
Age, skin color, gender, sex, sexuality, whatever the combination - blame people for what they do, not the circumstances of their birth.
The Trump voting neo-nazi chuds can get fucked. Don't lump young liberals like me in with those cult of personality dicks with lazy generalizations, please.
As a millennial male who did not vote for Trump, supports the rights of people, and generally is a good person to those around me - men are generally terrible. I kinda think that, if you can't recognize this truth, you aren't as good a person as you think.
As a Gen X male (I prefer the term Oregon Trail Generation for those of us close to the cutoff) I echo your statements.
But on top of that, I think there's obvious context here that we're talking about the dummies, not 100% of males of the generation.
The comment that started this subthread was like a funny sarcastic comment I could hear in real life. Something like "I read about how male gen z trump voters feel duped by him" followed by "well it sounds like male gen z trump voters have bad judgment, lol!"
I don't know if that kind of retort is a regional thing or is uh, how do I say this, one of those things that you learn when you are raised by angry conservatives whose primary form of communication is complaining about other people.

Bullshit.
They are trying to save face, however they'll still vote for the dregs of humanity next time.
Am Gen Z male and I want nothing to do with this fascist treacherous dipshit.
Maybe its a good thing I didn't make any friends, at least I won't have any of my peers stab me in the back.
Alternate take. Make friends, educate them, turn them into comrades.
Human nature is a fucking bitch. You can scream till your face turns blue and your average milquetoast American will cognitive dissonance their way back to comfort. That's why the conservatives don't care about violating tne constituton. People aren't a hyper evolved species. We were just apes who learned to drive and do taxes. Of course the population is full of monkey brains wired to make decisions on vibes, that's how we got here. Empathy is just an evolutionary trait your brain decided was convenient for survival in a group, and some people literally just aren't capable of giving a shit.
My point is that no amount of education can force someone to empathize and it's so god damn frustrating.

Gen Z. Too young to have experienced or lived through the Reagan era lies and the Bush lies along with the courting of right-wing fringe politics, from the religious wingnuts to the Tea Partiers. Let’s give conservatism another go! Surely it’ll work this time.
Can't wait to hear about people too young to remember Trump voting against their interests in 20 years or so.
Then again, maybe voting won't be a thing in the USA at that point.

Yeah, no they ain't. They wanted this and they are happy they got this. Everyone is fucking miserable except those pieces of shit.
Gawd, what fucking dumbasses. LOL, "scrappy guys".
JFC.

USA today is a rightwing propaganda rag and this is rightwing propaganda
"my peers aren't country club conservatives" shut the fuck up you are literally writing for the largest syndicated colonial newspaper network
Vanishingly small percentage of fucking idiots later realize they've been conned. Film at 11.
