Transcript:

I've been a loyal Trump supporter since 2016.

I lost a job, friendships, been smeared online, doxxed, and pressed charges on people who've stalked and harassed me for supporting him.

If Trump doesn't want my support, because I care about the Epstein Files, then I'm done.

Bye.

Baffling that THIS is their line.

[–] Zezzoz@lemmy.world 13 points 2 hours ago

So many leopards eating faces. This is a cult of idiots, the only thing that seems to be pulling them out of the spell is this scandal that would make Watergate pale.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

So we found the cultists breaking point: Something universaly moraly reprehensible that is undeniable in-front of their own eyes, and for him to contradict himself within days.

Yuup, there are plenty that would believe him if he said he was Jesus. The ones that seemingly have no breaking point.

These people are the reason why our nation's average IQ 98.

[–] ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Is this supposed to be an insult? It kind of reads like one, but setting aside any questions of IQs validity, it is laid out such that 100 is average.

So what you’re saying essentially is that the nation's average IQ is average, which is not an insult in my book.

Think about it... A little harder

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

You have to remember, some people are 98s.

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 1 points 51 minutes ago

Some people are just 8s. Like the guy in the image.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 11 points 4 hours ago

I've never heard of people harassing a Trump supporter unless the Trumpet was baiting them.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 69 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (2 children)

Know when you get the joke a few minutes after everyone else laughed at it and it's pretty embarrassing?

Imagine being a decade behind the curve.

Too bad they didn't get it before November and locking us in for 4 years.

Anyways, I'm glad all those bad things happened to him.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

4 years if we're lucky

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 11 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

it wasn't even a decade, its been probably 40 years of trump having terrible media coverage

[–] maam@feddit.uk 2 points 4 hours ago

At least he wasn't a national problem back then.

[–] peaceful_world_view@lemmy.world 119 points 10 hours ago (9 children)

Being loyal to ANY politician is insane.

[–] Empricorn 31 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

I love Bernie. While I don't agree with him on everything, he's consistently been on the moral right side of most issues. Here he is being arrested for protesting segregation in 1963:

However. If he did even 1% of the things Trump did, I would call him out for it, demand he do better, and support his primary challengers if not. Unconditional loyalty to a politician doesn't keep them in check, and actually harms us all...

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 3 points 41 minutes ago

Agreed. I like Bernie and AOC not because I always agree with them but because they both seem to be trying to make things better.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 45 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

+1.

Even if someone wholesome (Mamdani?) somehow took over the Democrats, or any cool party, I would never be "loyal" to them.

Maybe this is my old millennial ass shaking my fist, but I don't get why folks are loyal to influencers. Loyalty should be two way and reciprocal, to friends and family one knows personally, not asymmetrically to someone who makes a living from thousands following them.

Respect and admiration? Fine. But this guy's a poster child for why loyalty is too far. After all, what does Trump think of him?

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 21 points 10 hours ago (10 children)

Seeing “old millennial ass” just seems so wrong.

We’re the young generation, right? We’re like, 25 at most. Right?

I’m 40. Oh my god. I need a Camaro and a broccoli haircut so I can fit in with the hip crowd. Broccoli hair is still a thing right? Haha

Man it goes so fast.

Trump literally told them that he will not need them after this again. No, he does not want or care for their support!

"In four years, You don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good. You're not going to have to vote."

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Being loyal to anyone who doesn't know your name personally is borderline insane.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I can vaguely imagine soldiers being loyal to a general in a war. If a general always seems to find a way to win, even against the odds, I can picture his soldiers being willing to... well not to die for him, but the opposite. I can imagine them being fiercely loyal and trying to protect him because he's making sure they don't die.

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

You basically plucked the thought from my head as to why I added 'borderline' to that sentence. Yes, in a desperate situation, it's not insane to glom on to the safest option available.

But war has never been a great place for being rife with sane options, it's almost always created by one or more people being insane in the first place and making it their neighbors' problem.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 17 points 10 hours ago

Yeah, describing yourself as a "loyal" politician supporter basically means you'll ignore whatever wrong doing they do and root for your "team".

Yum delicious!

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 17 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine expecting the guy who had Epstein killed to prevent his name from being revealed to be on the list due to his public 15+ year besties-ship with him, to release the list of pedos known to associate with Epstein

[–] sugarfoot00@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 hours ago

Exactly. Just something else to ratfuck.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 27 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

He's conditioned to be in an abusive relationship. He'll be back.

Imagine losing a job and friendships to worship the star of NBC's The Apprentice.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 134 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine thinking you are the victim because you supported trump.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 19 points 9 hours ago

Imagine voting for quite possibly the biggest conman in the 21st century and get surprised when he pulls the rug out from under them.

Well bye, I guess. Took him 10 years to figure out that voting for the "Punch me in the dick, repeatedly" party wasn't a great idea.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 44 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Oh no, he'll still vote Republican

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 22 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Maybe he'll vote for the Musk party instead, exchanging one big ego for another to worship and get disappointed by.

Caring about the Epstein Files, while also voting for Epstein's long time good buddy. Hmm...

How much you want to bet what he calls stalking and harassment was nothing of the sort?

I’ll say it again: I’m concerned about the wildlife. the leopards are going to die of morbid obesity.
