I've noticed it's always "let's not make this political" when their faces are being eaten.

I feel like we need a c/letsnotmakethispolitical to track these
I was just saying we need a Herman Cain Award type community for Trumpers who have gotten deported, fired, or can't afford eggs! Let's not make this political is a perfect name!
Consider me subscribed in advance.
My brother sent this post to me. He's gonna send me some of their past posts and then I'll submit them. Will let you know when I do!
Call me a shithead, but that's when I fucking rub it in. No. Fuck you. You don't get to suffer what you intended others to suffer and plead mercy. Fuck you. You gonna HEAR from me.
I mean you're probably a shit head , but that doesn't make you wrong .
Politics is when I make bad stuff happen to people I hate. So when bad stuff I helped cause happens to me, this cannot possibly be politics.
At least they're not projecting the "you weren't supposed to hurt us. You were supposed to hurt everyone else" vibe that I see a lot. This one tone deaf, but not as bad as the others I've seen.
'Please don't make this political' should read as 'I know my politics caused this to happen, please don't show me i helped do this to myself'
Imagine if this were happening under a Democrat admin, would this person even consider not making it political?
Before the current administration government workers were one of the most secure positions under the largest employer in the country. People would take a pay cut to avoid the more volatile private industries for the security and benefits of a government job. Now our allies abroad and internal workers no longer can trust in those securities.
He may not be interested in debates, but his choices show that he has terrible judgement.
Also, what’s the betting that they were very interested in “debates” before the negative consequences affected them directly?
Also, there wouldn't be "a debate" if he admitted making a mistake.
Alternative facts means never having to say you're sorry.
They don't want to talk politics because their political belief was in hurting other people.
Fuck em. If they voted for this shit they deserve the suffering.
The 2nd part about "don't mention politics" is twice as long as "I've lost my job".
And still ends with:
Remember that government employees are humans too and it is a very scary time for most of us and our families.
As if that isn't the left-wing (most countries would call centre) modus operandi: people are people
Nope, no sympathy or empathy here for you. You should have known better cause you're a fucking adult.
there's a point to sympathy kindness and compassion.
it feels good, makes you a better person, and creates a better, kinder, more resilient world.
except when you apply it to nazis. then it feels shitty, makes you a worse person, and contributes to the well being of nazis that helps them destroy everything that has ever been decent or virtuous.
Suddenly they don't want to talk about political opinions? Fat fucking chance of that, bud.
do you wanna stop fascism? want to see trump and elon musk lose power?
working class solidarity is the first step
our entire lives, we've been tricked and manipulated into fighting among ourselves, because they know if we worked together, we would be able to take them down.
why do you think, every time that something bad happens, there's all the media spin about who we should blame?
they love to do this for age, think about all the boomers vs. gen X vs. gen Z articles and social media posts you've seen
but they do the same shit all the time with different things. their aim is to split the working class into as many splinter groups as possible.
we need to stop letting the assholes in power divide us like this.
unfortunately, that means extending solidarity to people who haven't earned it, including people who chose to vote for Trump.
most of these people were tricked and manipulated. many of them have been fed a steady diet of misinformation. many of them are proud, insufferable bigots.
but being smugly superior, insulting, rude or intolerant isn't how we change people's minds. the best way to do that is by having a two-way conversation.
we are all so busy yelling at eachother. it doesn't work. we need solidarity.
No, it does not mean extending solidarity to people who are ok with hurting everyone but themselves, they can go and fuck right off. So whatever solidarity you have in your mind, I for one won't be a part of that
working class solidarity is the first step
There is a reason every time FOX News brings Bernie Sanders in to debate socialism or some such tripe, he ends up converting the entire panel to his ideas and it turns into the hosts asking him questions about things they weren't even aware of in terms of class divide.
Seriously, this is LITERALLY THE REASON WHY THEY ARE TRYING TO DIVIDE US WITH RACE. If we don't realize that the very same deluded idiots who believe these lies are also our best bet for kicking the assholes out of government, we're JUST as bad as they are. Yes, they are doing atrocious things and they are reprehensible.
But even if a magic genie appeared and gave us a new, amazing, socialist president who wanted to bring our country to the 24th century and beyond, we would STILL have to live next to the millions and millions of dumbfounded fools who will always believe the simpler story. Education may help, but not for generations. We have to work with the hand we've been dealt.
Start spreading the story that it's rich versus poor, that it's wealthy elites crushing us all, left or right, that we're all being fooled and played against each other. Read up on economic distribution in the US and listen to some of Bernie's speeches and take fucking notes. We CAN change this, but we have to make a better story for the morons to follow.
We're all human when it hurts you, but not deporting people or hurting trans people. Ok.
I hope all republican voters lose their jobs ❤️❤️❤️ maybe starve too 😁
I think "have the day you voted for" is the best thing to say here.
As I have mentioned before, please do not post your political beliefs as I am not interested in debates or opinions
Get fucked, traitor.
They are still blaming Biden and Obama, though 😮💨
That feeling when you find out YOU are the government waste
Just like all those people with their spouses getting deported going "I thought they were only going to deport the bad ones!"
Hahahahahahaha
Wait, they're serious? Let me laugh harder!
But what if I’m interested in your opinion, MAGA idiot? Please dance for me. I want to see your gymnastics routine.
FAFO
Eat a bag of dicks,magat. Ha ha!!!!
"I'm sorry you lost your job serving our society in the Federal government. I'm sorry that some selfish fascist idiots though it was better to harm others with their vote for trump without for one second thinking about the consequences to American society. If I ran into one of those people, I'd tell them they were selfish assholes. You and I both know that those idiots are now getting what they voted for. I hope they're happy about it and with the results of screwing us all over."
Aha ha ha aha aha ha ha ha aha ! Never thought the leopards would eat YOUR face did you?
This is what you voted for. I have zero sympathy
