No Democrats, no bots, no trolls.

This is a platform dedicated to collecting and sharing stories from Trump supporters who feel betrayed by Donald Trump and/or the elected (and unelected) officials who enable him. Our goal is to give voice to those who have experienced broken promises, policy reversals, or other actions that contradict the values and commitments they told us they believed in.

Name 'Em and Shame 'Em

We voted Republican because we believed the promises. They were going to lower the cost of living, lower the deficit, reduce government spending, end endless wars, stop illegal immigration, lower taxes for working class Americans, and put the brakes on out-of control woke ideologies.

Instead, the cost of living is increasing, the deficit is increasing, services we depend on like Medicaid are being threatened, jobs are being cut thoughtlessly and indiscriminately, and the President's priorities have slipped out of alignmnent with ours. Our representatives seem to have forgotten us in their haste to appease the administration, and our voices are not being heard.

Here, we tell our stories of betrayal, and name & shame those who perpetrated them, and who by cowardly inaction enabled it. We will make our voices heard by the lawmakers that have abandoned their constituencies.

Share Your Story

Use the My Story section to share your personal experience of betrayal. You can choose which details to keep private and which to share publicly. We do not share private details with anyone. Ever. The server is out of reach of the administration. The details we ask for are only used to validate that you are a real Trump supporter who has a real story.

There are no comments or discussions. Submissions should include "receipts" that we can use for moderation. We're going to look and make sure these stories aren't fake, aren't generated by AI or anything. We will, upon request, redact any identifying information displayed on the site.

In the Betrayers section, you can see which government officials have been associated with stories of betrayal and read those accounts.

The News section collects news articles about Republicans and MAGA voters who are speaking out about feeling betrayed by government officials.

Our Values

Truth: We verify stories and provide a platform for authentic experiences.

Privacy: We respect your privacy and give you control over what personal information is shared.

Accountability: We believe our elected representatives should be held accountable for their promises, actions, and inactions.

I don't believe this is real. It's easy to game.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

They voted Republican because they believed in promises? From a f=ing con man and repeated liar?

They were going to lower the cost of living, lower the deficit, reduce government spending, end endless wars, stop illegal immigration, lower taxes for working class Americans, and put the brakes on out-of control woke ideologies.

Every word in that paragraph was incorrect.

  • historically, conservatives have never lowered the cost of living for the majority of people
  • nor reduced the deficit
  • nor reduced spending, although transfer from labour to opex has happened for optics
  • nor appreciably affected illegal immigration, the vaaaaaast majority of which is by people who entered legally but then overstayed accidentally or intentionally
  • nor ended wars; they tend to start wars for quick ratings boosts
  • nor lowered taxes for most people; they typically end up raising taxes, and/or increasing everyone's personal expenses because of the reduction in services and safety
  • I'm not touching the 'woke' shit. It's just made-up bullshit to polarize people who lack empathy.

Every single one "I voted for Trump three times but didn't think I would be affected".

They deserve it. Not a shred of empathy.

I don't regret my vote and I want fraud waste and abuse eliminated but this chainsaw method is not going to get us there.

They're still delusional with stories like this lol

[–] Fingolfinz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

No, they’re racist, sexist, and homophobic and wanted to hurt people and are mad that they got hurt as well.

[–] vfsh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 2 days ago

And every fucking one of them entirely obsessed with their own interests. Like if Trump walked back the Medicare talks half those story writers would be happy as clams

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I don't regret my vote ...

These fuckers are incapable of learning. They'd fucking do it again.

[–] monarch@lemm.ee 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Did you see the stat that 20 to 30% of the US population supports the annexation of greenland? that group is too far gone to ever be brought back.

We never properly finished the first civil war, and the confederacy came back in overtime.

[–] Kichae@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They've been conditioned to never admit a mistake. It's trapped them in abusive cycles, and it's made them the absolute worst kinds of people.

That is to say, they're capable of learning. They'd be more symoathetic if they were not. They're choosing not to learn out of peer pressure, and that makes them contemptable.

It’s not limited to Republicans. I saw this during election season as well with Uncommitted.

Those who wanted to vote for Kamala downplayed how bad she was for Palestine. Those who were withholding their votes constantly downplayed how dangerous Trump was, and then blamed Kamala for putting them in this position.

Edit: I’m not passing judgement. I’m just trying to show how it’s not exclusive to Republicans to change your perspective so you don’t feel bad about voting a particular way.

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

And morons like you kept saying 'a vote for kamala is a vote for genocide!'

Which is why we literally are having a fucking brutal genocide.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

raising prices through tariffs he never mentioned.

They really don't pay attention, huh?

Also the cattle rancher bemoaning the 240k subsidy he lost. "No goberment handouts! Oh no, my goberment handouts!"

[–] Banzai51@midwest.social 26 points 2 days ago

I keep voting Republican and they keep attacking my ability to have a decent life. Weird. No Democrats

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 32 points 2 days ago (2 children)

lower the cost of living, lower the deficit, reduce government spending, end endless wars, stop illegal immigration, lower taxes for working class Americans, and put the brakes on out-of control woke ideologies.

that last bit is the only one they really 'care' about.. i.e. hating others.

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The cruelty is the point. Basically they're just saying they're okay with the racism and homo/transphobia but they draw the line where it affects them personally.

They deserve every awful thing that happens to them.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago

They can excuse racism,.but they draw the line on Medicaid being threatened.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They will bitch and cry and whine and then vote for Republicunts again.

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Interestingly, they were hardcore democrats for centuries.

Then democrats endorsed civil rights.

They are a 100% single issue voting bloc, and that issue is just racism.

[–] TheFermentalist@lemm.ee 28 points 2 days ago

He fucking TOLD them what was going to happen. That’s the bit that gets me every time. That, the appeals to his non-existent better nature, and the fact that they still believe and would vote for him again

I'm gonna guess that the Venn diagram of these people that believed trump was gonna help, and adults that believe in Santa is just a circle.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

What a bunch of whiny snowflakes😂😂

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 17 points 2 days ago

lol. LMAO, even. Perhaps dare I say ROFL.

I can't wait for the rest of the scumbag reich to turn on them too and brand THEM the 'out of control woke ideology' just to demonstrate for them how stupid that line of contention always was and always shall be, but we all know they're too dense for that level of self-awareness. They wouldn't know irony if it pegged them up the ass with a cactus strapon.
