Oh shit. My wife is asleep beside me and I'm trying not to wake her up laughing too hard at this.
If only someone could've warned them about this. 😪
"young trump voters" is a lot of characters for "idiots"
A perfect photo for "I did this" gas pump stickers
"Young Trump voters" must be every bit as stupid as the phrase implies.
Duh. He's betrayed you a thousand times before that, but you overlooked it because he was hurting the people you hate! Grow the fuck up.
I mean they are young people so it's not like they can grow down.
I hope they stick with their plan to not vote for the rest of their lives. They have proven they dont possess enough critical thinking skills to give that responsibility the consideration it deserves.
The worst part about all this is the fact that they are young. What kind of hate fueled, evil upbringing did they receive that would cause them to think voting for trump was ever a good idea?
We should be doing more to try and help the younger generation see the light before they become older, angrier and set in their ways.
Do we have a support com for ex-right wingers?
I don't think it was necessarily hate-fueled. It was Influencers and other paid actors making it seem like an ok thing to do, and to stick it to the establishment/elites (misidentified as left, instead of ultra rich), and Dems as evil as GOP. There is a reason that recruitment age for military is 18yo - it is the age where people know alot but understand less and can more easily be influenced. As the first gen fully raised in an online world, they didn't stand a chance of knowing how to combat the algorithms. Not any more than their grandparents knew how to battle the new 'TV ads'. Outside the USA, much of American thought is understood as weird and driven by state propaganda - a different version of North Korea.
A little off point but isn't Fox "News" just a state propaganda channel?
What kind of hate fueled, evil upbringing did they receive that would cause them to think voting for trump was ever a good idea?
Have you been to the US in the last 25 years and done such provocative things as turned on the TV, gone to school or listened to talk radio in the car?
I mean, I live here sadly. But I honestly never saw much of this coming. Maybe I was just blind or used to these things, I can't quite remember exactly how I felt when many of these changes started getting real traction, but it hit me like a bus in 2016 with trump and his first term. It was a whole world of idiots that just suddenly existed, ruining the country. It was probably already ruined, and I just didn't see it. :(
Yeah you weren’t paying attention or ur still a young buck. It became clear as day when Bush Jr stole the election from Al Gore over hanging chads in 2000.
That set the stage for this millennia and it’s been increasingly more blatant and apparent every year.
i was a conservative when i was younger but for some perspective, that's an Australian conservative who at the time (1980s) would have made me a far left commie in American terms. Now at 60, green anarchist :)
18 yrs old ,confident in my ignorance, but to be fair at age 60, now I'm confident I'm ignorant.
Leopards, faces, etc. May they have the day they voted for.
I'm getting tired of having the day they voted for. When do I get the day I voted for?
They still won't learn. We're Rome in the third century AD.
But everything else was totally fine, I guess. Fucking lunatics.
Exactly. No sympathy for these choads. They were told that all the brown people would be gone, and the MAGA-Youth was supposed to get rich, and they ate it right up. Now that these sociopaths are starting to wonder why they're not getting the goodies they were promised. I say let them go cry into their creatine and MMA.
How about them leopards eating faces, eh boys? A shame you didn't listen when you were told that was coming.
Some of the people, all the time.
Now all the Dems need to do is to stop hand-wringing over procedure and actually condemn the war itself. Because at the rate things are going, these types will only be alienated from the Republicans until the next smooth-talker comes along who knows how to talk out of both sides of his mouth about it.
"How could anyone think Trump would be a peace president?" Because the Dems were unambiguously pro-war so people looking for someone who'd stay out of conflicts cope'd themselves into believing it.
Dems would rather keep donors’ support and lose the election than vice-versa.
For the politically naive: Republicans regard workers as their personal toilet at best. Democrats at least recognize that workers are where their lunches come from.
Assuming facts not in evidence.

This is the difference between the left and right ... the left expect their politicians to lie to them.
I don't know why people on the right expect otherwise ...?
