In sooo many ways.
The usual "I got mine" attitude and subsequent whining when the consequences of their own actions finally affects them personally.
Did any Trump voters except billionaire Nazis pay attention to what they were voting for? Or was "he's a racist white man who will hurt minorities" actually all they knew and cared about?
Trump is a vibe. Most elections are determined on vibes. Less educated white folk feel he's their guy. It doesn't matter that his stated policies will fuck them. They feel like he'll look out for their interests and that's really all it takes. Galvanizing this demogtaphic is how he won both the 2016 and 2024 elections.
that vibe is fox news and other right propaganda
It’s the racist thing and never let any of them tell you different
"in this family we vote R since the beginning of time, we will continue to do so regardless to who's running for said party"
There were a considerable number of voters who voted for Trump because he wasn't actively participating in GeNoCiDe. Many of them post here.
I hope they're allowed to stay in the country now, since I wouldn't count on citizenship status keeping those people from getting sent to Gitmo (or El Salvador)
I had the impression those people were mainly advocating for not voting, or voting third party.
Which, in a two-party, first-past-the-post system, amounts to voting for Trump. They simply could not realize this.
Right, and each one of those people also contributed to his victory, and the shitshow that is happening right now.
I at least have some sympathy for the third-party voters. It's not their fault that expressing their opinion is meaningless because of how our elections are structured. But anyone who stayed home was effectively half a vote for Trump, and bear part of the blame for enabling his behavior.
Effectively they supported Trump, but I think it's misleading to say they "voted for Trump".
They may not have voted, but they chose the outcome.
Yeah, the nobody wants to work bullshit sticks out here particularly to me.
Imagine doing backbreaking labor and you come home to not afford a damn thing. There's no way they don't see how expensive it is just to exist, but then snub their fellow Americans who are also trying to put food on the table.
Nobody wants to work = Nobody wants to work for YOU.
Lots of people want to work, they just want a livable wage and good working conditions.
“Why won’t anybody let me exploit them?!?”
They're talking about waste and I'm paying for her fucking remodel from my blue state coffers? Fuck her business. Freeloading parasite.
And they get a news article written about them for some reason
