“The first thing for me was he didn’t release the Epstein files. They’re even acting like they didn’t exist,” he said, before moving on to his other grievances. “And, of course, they’re sending Israel and Ukraine all of our tax dollars just like the numb-nuts before him did. Putting America last, and now he’s blaming the beef farmers for the price of beef.”

Mitchell added, “Hey, I’m not biased, man. He talked a good game; he tricked me. I was fooled. I admit it.”

"Yeah, I do think that Donald Trump is that beast of Revelation 13:3."

Hey, I’m not biased, man. He talked a good game

No he didn't, what he talked of was he was going to be shitty, you're just a horrible person and annoyed he's not shitty enough for you.

Anybody saying "I would take a bullet for x" and never going anywhere near x in order to be able to intervene, is just talking out of their arse.

He talked a good game

No he didn't, at all. You're just really stupid so you think he did.

[–] Godort@lemmy.ca 90 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It's really obvious if you've learned to think critically. If you haven't, then it's easy to fall for the lies. There is a reason why he's the central public figure of the GOP. The man provably knows how to rile up crowds.

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago (5 children)

If you haven't learned critical thinking, that is the same thing as being dumb.

It's fascinating how many, who believe they are "thinking critically", follow Trump because he "talks good". They think so critically, that they don't notice the irony.

He "talked a good game" if you are a moronic bigot. This guy is still a moronic bigot despite his "revelations".

I really hope more magats start having some self awareness. The hubris is so blatant that even total idiots can see through it

[–] hanrahan@piefed.social 1 points 6 days ago

It's not that he supoorts a better, more sane and caring president, he wants something even worse and is disappointed that's not Trump.

I mean, if they think like that post they'd still vote for fascism if it was christofascism.

They won't. Think of it this way, there were so many people saying COVID was a liberal hoax as they were laying on their death beds unable to breathe.

When even that dumb broad Marjorie Taylor Green starts running her mouth against her Cheeto-Jesus, you know there's a glimmer of hope.

Of course, she does it entirely out of her own selfish interests: she is personally impacted by Trump's shenanigans. She doesn't really give a fuck about her constituents, or even basic decency. But if that's what it takes to have one less Trump enabler, I'll take it.

Man they just can't help themselves but to continue being dumbshits even as they come around to the Trump grift can they.

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 31 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 children)

I know it's highly subjective, and highly open to interpretation, but I think you'd be surprised at how many 'beast of Revelation' checkboxes Trump fills in. It would be comical if not so real.

He talked a good game

No he didn't. You're just incapable of thinking critically. ESPECIALLY since we already saw what a phony he was the first time he was in office. There was no possible way to be "fooled" at that point unless you're so full of hate that you WANT to be fooled.

The problem with that is that they all get different news. It's all propaganda. My Trumper buddy thinks that liberals are killing everyone. The difference in media is astounding.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 days ago

This rhetoric might feel good, but its counterproductive. Someone changing their minds is a good thing. Its also not wrong to say Trump is a propaganda machine.

Everytime I see a post like yours, it reads far more like "look how good a person I am and have been for so long, where's my up votes?".

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 14 points 1 week ago

It's even worse.

He wasn't fooled. He knew very well what he signed up for. And he was fine with it until things personally affected him. And now he claims he was "fooled".

Nah, he's the same racist, Nazi supporting piece of shit he's been for the past ~10-12 years at least, but now that it's negatively affecting his life, he's trying to leave the sinking ship.

It’s interesting that there’s still no self awareness and no personal responsibility - like: “it was written all over the wall but I was blind to see it because of my biases and judgments”. Instead it was “I was lied to”.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

How is it wrong to say they were lied to? Trump consistently says if we do awful things, the results won't be awful they will be amazing.any of these republicans have to go against their local community if they disagree as well, there is a lot of resistance. Try to have some empathy here as surely you are ignorant about something sue to circumstance as well, and I'm sure you would want to be treated positively if you were to realize your mistake.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (5 children)

That's the only path to getting these people turned around. They've, rightly, been called cultists and fascists. Keep telling them they're wrong, they double down. We already saw this the first time around.

I'm very forthcoming when I'm wrong, but I still have an easier time saying I was bamboozled than plain stupid.

This is the one piece of weirdly uplifting news I needed to hear. If a bigoted idiot can see the writing on the wall, then there's hope for us all

He'll still endorse Trump or his replacement in 2028. Just wait and see.

As far as I understand it, it's not like he regrets his bigotry or anything. He just regrets believing Trump would do anything about it. He's mad that Trump isn't fucking the right people in other words.

I don't think a man with chronic work-related concussions is the most reasonable voice.

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He's a ~~meathead~~ strong, alpha man in a position with a lot of public eyes that other ~~meatheads~~ strong, alpha men can look up to for guidance.

Hey, if his admission to being tricked by Trump's lies causes other ~~MAGA folks~~ strong, independent thinkers to have a little introspection and change, I'm all for it.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

If you know anything about that community, they pretty much only watch the meathead stuff. This is probably the only way to even get a message to proliferate through that community. Thats how trumps message filtered through, there are so many meathead influencers ranging from actual professional bodybuilders to the weird shaped guy at your local gym who sells steroids.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 week ago (3 children)

But a problem here is this guy is upset that he helped ukrain, like Biden did. Was he supposed to not help Ukraine then this guy would be happy.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 6 days ago

fox and grifters would never report on it, even if they did they wouldnt frame it in a way that skews thier perceptions.

Now that's a good revelation for the wrong reasons lol

That's not what he's doing

And, of course, they’re sending Israel and Ukraine all of our tax dollars just like the numb-nuts before him did.

Helping Ukraine destroy the top US enemy while not losing men is probably the beat deal US ever had, this argument is BS. Remember, Trump is a problem/in power because of Russia, and Russia will do everything to keep destroying US from the inside out. Israel is fully understandable, but this guy no longer supports Trump because of helping Ukraine? Fuck off

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 16 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I'll admit, hearing this dude say all of this is quite cathartic, but Jesus Christ. You'd have to be a goddamned moron to believe Trump after seeing what he does. Sure, yeah he talks a good game, but it's been backed up with zero follow-through for the entire extent of his life. He's a fucking landlord for Christ sakes. What more do you need to know?
