If they had just said “my Trump voting Neighbor just lost his job at the USDA. FAFO.” I’d be totally down to believe it. Tons of people are losing their jobs right now, that is reality. But the flag/house thing? Give me a fucking break

How the fuck did democrats go from the party that hates misinformation to the party that believes implausible posts on a platform known to be full nonsense because it fits a cute narrative?

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 1 points 43 minutes ago

Considering how Lemmy feels about democrats and how everyone claims to be a true leftist…

[–] MiniMoose4Free@lemm.ee 11 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Ah, the classic anything I don't agree with is fake news.

[–] hesusingthespiritbomb@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago
  • On Twitter, the site known for random misinformation
  • OP knows their neighbor well enough to know where they work, despite that not being nearly as common these days and OP not seeming like the kind of guy that would befriend Trump supporters
  • OP's neighbor is one of the minority of federal workers who are probationary employees, because that's the only group Elon has been able to really fire right now
  • OP's neighbor simultaneously being a homeowner with a previously-stable job, but being in such dire financial straits that simply missing two paychecks results in a complete crashout.
  • OP's neighbor then selling the house instead of taking advantage of the large number of hardship programs that would be available for someone with issues paying their mortgage, at least temporarily.

Like is this possible? Yes. However it's highly implausible, and conveniently matches the whole "stupid Drunpf supporters regret their decision" narrative that both Lemmy and reddit absolutely adore. To take this at any sort of face value without any genuine shred of concrete evidence is insane.

Ah, the classic “don’t believe everything you read on the internet” is more like it. That’s half the reason we’re in the mess.

ask any millenial what all our parents were telling us until they got on facebook.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

So anyways I started shit posting...

The fact that this guy posts this on X with a paid-for blue checkmark tells you everything about why Trump won and why he'll keep winning. The left has made almost no effort to win the information space. They just lose and then celebrate when some of the harm falls back on MAGA.

How about his for a change: Win. Try to win. Stop kowtowing to right wing information propaganda spaces that stifle the left like X, Fox News, and Rogan. Fight them like the right fights the left in the information space. True, you won't get to celebrate when your neighbor suffers from Trump, but it'll be because he didn't vote Trump in the first place.

I saw the "Dems are the Uvalde cops Magas are the shooters." And goddamn it salpped ever since. You guys need to get a real 3rd party that is real grassroots socialist.

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

that would be me. sucks im too poor to run a campaign though lmao.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I've been watching people go on and on about a Socialist revolution since I read about Gene Debs in high school.

I haven't seen them actually do anything yet.

[–] Sektor@lemmy.world 1 points 34 minutes ago

Need to finish that Elden Ring dlc first.

This is a liberal account, he's not a leftist. Leftists have been in the streets, while liberals remain in the tweets.

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

It’s amazing how everyone doing everything right is a leftist and everyone they disagree with/who isn’t doing things right is a liberal. That’s why leftists are in position of power!

[–] MiniMoose4Free@lemm.ee 4 points 10 hours ago

You expect a "both sides" maga to know that? Seeing all these "it's the dem's fault for not telling us how shit trump would treat us" folks is crazy. Everyone want to blame the dems for the lepords.

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

everyone in the country should be liberal. but it seems most just ignore the term and definition behind it though and just assume only left/democrats want to have freedom

Good and screw the neo-Nazi who found the fuck out.

[–] ItsJannnneee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 19 hours ago

Trump was never on your side, now you're finding out the hard way :|

[–] whatevercomeon@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago (7 children)

Please remember it is important to not gloat or "I told you so". This person, for a reason of which does not matter, has decided to exit the cult. This person needs support and praise for their bravery. I don't care if it is for a selfish reason.... ultimately they made it out, their mind is free! That is cause for celebration.

[–] npcknapsack@lemmy.ca 22 points 16 hours ago

Is there any evidence they decided to exit the cult? People will paint the walls beige when selling a house, and that doesn't mean they don't still like whatever red and green Christmas themed house they had to start with. Pulling down a flag while selling the house you can't afford doesn't actually mean you wouldn't still vote for him.

What do you think this community is for, exactly?

[–] whatevercomeon@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Sure, you're right that it fits. I thought it was worth mentioning for when people encounter these types when offline. I too enjoy the schadenfreude, its why I am here.

[–] masterbaexunn@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Idk seems like that decision was made FOR him and not by him

[–] booly@sh.itjust.works 8 points 18 hours ago

A not-insignificant portion of Trump's base will be in this boat, if they aren't already. We should be ready with messaging to pull them out of the cult, so that they don't fall back in.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (5 children)

Heres the problem. We kept the gloating and "I told you so" to a minimum after Trump round 1 and the Civil war.

Hammer it home. They need to know Every. Fucking. Minute. Of every. Fucking. Day. That the choices they made got them fired, took their job, and ruined their country. Almost everyone knew it was going to happen and warned them, and they just dug deeper with their knee-jerk "nuh-uh" fake news 3rd grade playground bully logic. They need to know beyond a doubt that they are stupid, short-sighted, easily manipulated bigots. Why? Because the only way they can change it and do better is if they fucking know it, believe it, and see that they need to change it.

All my Trump neighbors are rental tenants so they get shuffled in and out every year by their landlords. A few MAGA banner fliers as well as a few families with small kids all got kicked out my neighborhood this last year for Sale signs to go up.
