Why are they complaining? After all, they didn't vote for the orange rapist because he would do anything for the little people, but because he is a racist and just as dull-witted and intolerant as they are themselves—that was so important to these people that they voted for him against their own interests.

Now they don't want to pay the price, but claim they voted for him because they supposedly believed, against all common sense and against the advice of even their own families, that he would stand up for the people? No one believes that.

I do believe that. More often than not, people believe what they want the truth to be, not what the actual truth is.

This person obviously falls for propaganda quite a bit. And the right spends a lot of time painting the left as an evil force that hates them and wants to destroy them and their children. So even if Trump is not as pristine as she'd wish, still better than the left who literally wants to destroy her children and force them to be trans (or whatever the current narrative is).

I'm not saying the vile racists are not a significant portion of their voters, I'm just saying that these well meaning but severely misguided people are a huge portion of their voters as well.

And by lumping them together you're basically forcing them to adopt the extreme views so that they belong somewhere. And that's how you create more extremists, because you tell them "either you're with us or with them." And with the (wrong) information they have, they can never choose you.

I'm not saying to tolerate intolerance, but ask any psychologist how successful can you be in forcing people to change their view. You have to guide them so that they discover the answer alone. And unlike the really bigotted people, people like her can be guided.

Is he not doing to the brown people and the gays what she voted for him for, though?

I heard someone say that Trump is the most honest (or the first honest) president and at first it made me mad, but then I realised he is doing exactly what he said he'd do. He went after brown people and he's attacking what he calls "woke" culture (which is really just civil rights). He is also striving to make America great again — for rich white men. He never said he'd make it great again for the working class. Just for guys like him and Epstein and the like.

It's a game, you've been played
It's the fox, you're the sheep
It's a pied piper song
That has lulled you to sleep

It's a lie and you fell for it
Hook, line, and sinker
A hand that you shook
That then gave you the Finger

A fraud and a fake
A cowardly king
A LIE to your FACE
But you STILL KISS THE RING

This is the Breakdown!
ThIS is ThE BREAkDOWn!!
tHIS iS the bREAKDOWWWWN!!!

Give everything for the rich elite. The rich elite give nothing in return. A tale old as time.

It took her rather long to arrive to that conclusion...

I really thought the fat pedophile, dumb racist reality star is what america needed. The second time, the fat pedophile, dumb racist reality star is really gonna keep his promises. The third time, the fat pedophile, dumb racist reality star surely is not gonna just lie again.

Alright, just 3 or 4 more times, but then i'm really slowly gonna lose patience.

I would have welcomed reformed Trumpers back into polite society prior to the 2024 election. But seriously, to anyone who flips NOW: fuck you. I’m glad you finally woke up or whatever, but fuck you for putting us in this situation.

[–] stardust@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How do we even know if they are actually reformed and won't go and vote for the next Trump who they believe will be more strategic about who they hurt so the right kind of people are left unaffected?

Expressing disapproval of Trump doesn't mean they disagree with many of the things he is doing, since he has so far been truthful on all the things he said he'd do starting with wanting to be a dictator and Project 2025. Nothing is a surprise.

Only surprise is they thought only illegals and minorities would be affected, and that's still something they want.
