I have no respect for Trump voters, young or old, and they can fuck right off with their contrived regrets, for one simple reason: everybody knew who Trump was, what he did and what he said going into the booth. Those who voted for him did so because they actively wanted this shit. There was no mistake on their part at any time.

So if you're a Trump voter and you came to your senses, congratulations. Now go fuck yourself.

Fear not. There’s a small cottage industry devoted to burping out liberal “feel good” articles. The headlines are designed to give you a little jolt of satisfaction or hope. This is a classic example in the “everyone’s waking up” category; a classic trope. Don’t let the posts on LeopardsAteMyFace fool you. While there is a small percentage of people that regret their vote. The majority have by and large doubled down on trump. This article is hopebait whose sole purpose is to get liberal clicks.

In war you always leave your opponent with the option of surrender. If they can't surrender, they will just fight twice as hard because they have nothing to lose.

If we don't give ex MAGAs a place, they will just go back to where they know they will be accepted.

Conditional surrender. You cannot just accept "I said I was sorry, why can't things just go back to normal?"

Lol check out this nerd using their brain instead of just letting unrelenting blind rage guide them.

It's not a war. They are raiders. They are pilliagers. Oops isn't enough, amends are owed.

Your completely avoiding the effect of concentrated social media directed at those who have no future.

I can only hope thay learned a lesson that will last a lifetime. Because this learning process was probably one of the most expensive pieces of education.

timbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.works · 13 pts · 331d

The lesson will have cost most of us a lifetime of unfucking it. This country has been set back for generations.

They still voted for him. And they might vote for him in the next election because "third time's the charm" or because "he's not gonna fail THIS time". As far as I'm concerned, those people are better off dead and gone.

I already heard the excuse "he had to create chaos this time, but will clean it up next time"...

Never vote for Republicans.

Never vote for rightists.

Never forget that most Democrats are also rightists.

A Pew Research Center survey in August showed that 69 percent of Trump voters under 35 approved of his performance as president. While still a substantial number, it represents a dramatic 23-point decline compared to the start of his second term.

100% of trump voters are traitors to the country they performatively worship.

IvyisAngy@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 331d (1 reply)

No they don't.

Trump voters don't regret anything regardless of age. The bulk of them get entirely different news then we do. If any at all except thier local news. They don't know what rest of the country looks like. And the ones that do don't care and itch to avenge their great grandpappies plantation.

It's a wonderful cocktail of ignorance and malice. And the only way to get them to regret anything or change thier mind is death.

Mass, uncontrolled death tolls, when they can't get medical care, they have no one to sell thier crops to, they can't afford basic nessesities...

That's the only thing. And that's just for the ignorant. The hateful just have to fear being hateful again.

There’s no way they could have known he’d do it a second time.

Trump voters deserve everything they're getting the second time around. He told them exactly what he was going to do and these morons are surprised when he actually does it.
