Great points. Trump was elected by the dumb, and also by the white evangelical christians — who are more like just simple and insentient — and they’re ALREADY all-in on autocracy
It’s just a simple matter of resources and there’s no longer enough to go around. There’s no more energy or empathy left for them; they’re on their own.
And tbh the schadenfreude will give me a little sustenance to continue on and I’m unapologetic abt that.
Yes, they can blame Dems and they will. Musk wrote on Twitter that Dems wanted the spending bill to fail and its failure lands squarely on the Dems shoulders.
I predicted this if the Republicans won. Nothing is ever their fault.
Except that Elon writing only proves he has no idea how the congress works or the votes he blames the Dems yet who is running the house? He is clueless…
I mean everyone who’s maga is blaming the Dems, like do they know who’s running the majority of the house? Most of them have zero clue what this bill means. 🤦🏻♀️
If you asked people why they voted, you could realize you are wrong. This is the advantage of being neutral politically, you can look at the people and see not only their ballot, but their fears and needs. But I guess it is true for both sides. Trump is not the cause, he is an effect.
As an unrelated note, a large section of the agricultural industry is operated by migrants who make less than minimum wage. I wonder what food prices would look like if production costs doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled?
No shit Sherlock, but it doesn't change the objective reality that food prices are what they are because they rely on migrant workers willing/forced to work for less than minimum wage. No amount of platitudes and "they deserve better"s will change this.
But we really fucking don't live in a society where people are guaranteed a livable and fair wage. The system needs to be torn from its roots up to the sky itself, but as of rn the system describes the price of goods being relational to the price of labor. If labor goes up, costs go up. (2/2)
You forget magical thinking. What ever misery they end up feeling will be blamed on the educated liberals and democrats, the lgbtq plus, the immigrants because they sneakily caused it to happen.
Truth. Even though my mother never voted for him, sadly she says we wouldn't be affected. And as Hispanic it hurt to see my Mom that way. That ignorance and complacency is what killed people before Europe was conquered by Hitler in a year.
Ding Dong the King is fine. 4 more years of free everything and everyone sucking up. The King is laughing at all of us for putting him on the ultimate gravy train. He can't contain his laughter at us. The joke is on us.
When he does, you can bet his significant other will emulate Melania and won’t be moving with him. Oh but wait, maybe Trump will move in with him after all. That seems plausible. Buttholes.
I think that President Elon Musk and V.P donald trump are very wrong for the American people, but the American people are so gullible in believing what trump says. The people will wish that they could turn back the clock and vote against trump but it is to late and now.
I think it's smarter to recognize that many people who have been brainwashed from childhood are going to be soon developing the possibility for class consciousness. We *must* do better at relating and bringing them into that consciousness. Whether their suffering is their own doing or not.
I had my ballots stolen for that election. Could someone please have the same fervor about protecting my right to vote as this? I called the USPS, the USPS OIG, the Police, and as many election people as I could, and not a one cares like this. They’re all basically saying “We’re sorry you’re fucked”
They sincerely believe they can weather whatever pain is coming better than people they consider beneath them. Their commitment to inequality might convince them they are.
Might be time to learn superior stoicism rather than trying to convince MAGA of anything.
Does my matching their sadism make them feel superior? I avoid expressions that communicate hopelessness and anguish. I do let them know I will smile if/when they die penniless and shivering under an overpass.
Consider Trumpers aren't all the same. The addicts to the depravity of Trump TV are like drug addicts. Perhaps the easiest to rehab, but still hard. Those are the likely folks under an overpass.
The tribes of stupidity and malice are lost. We won't get them back in our lifetime.
In a democratic civil society we have collective responsibility for the wellbeing of the whole.
If you ignore entire segments of the population that are unwell financially, mentally, morally, etc., you can't just wash your hands of entirely foreseeable outcomes
It's not mean to impose consequences but it's a political choice and, if unaccompanied by any genuine attempt to address the concerns of that part of the population, it's a choice that inevitably leads to poor outcomes for everyone.
I really don't fucking care anymore. I've been getting called a murdering where by Maga family for 20 years now. I'm tired and I'm bitter. I'm going to sit back and watch them loose everything. And not do a damn thing to help them.
This was perfection..I called my father the day after Election Day distraught.. he had say he read project 2025 and wasn’t going to vote.. when I FaceTimed him I expressed my concerned I was terrified .. I’m apart of the 🏳️🌈community .
He had this smirk on his face and said well he hasn’t sent you to a concentration camp yet has he.. i said you voted for him didn’t you.. he said yep.. I hung up and told him he was dead to me.. he lied the entire time.. cowardly..you hit the nail on the head with exactly how I feel.
WOW!!!! TRUTH !!!😐👊🏾 🎤 (Drop the mic.) There you go people who voted for the Orange Man. REAP what you sow. 😠☮️♥️✨✝️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 #truthisthelight #pray #faith #openminded #closemindedsociety #jesusiscoming
This kind of post frustrates me because “now you’ll learn!” isn’t real. If they were going to learn, they would’ve. They’ll still blame everyone but themselves for what’s to come. Given a choice between blaming the marginalized or self-examination, they’ll choose to fuck you over ‘til it kills em
Yeah, when their ACA, SS, Medicare, and whatever else is stopped, they will still only listen to their MAGAt masters and blame Democrats. Because they will never research anything for themselves, MAGAts are self-made morons
Beautiful words. But the sad fact remains that the orange Buffalo, the $500 million oligarch along with other very rich billionaires will pull the wool over the eyes of the US citizens. The same 50% that voted for the orange Buffalo this time will do so again in 2026 and then for Vance and 2028.
Agreed - the disinformation will get worse. Mainstream media will be even more pathetic. It's up to us to pull our Trump supporting friends and family back to reality - one at a time - grassroots.
I like the sentiment here but I simply can’t bring myself to even talk to nazi magats anymore. If they don’t know that voting for a rApIsT is a bad think, I doubt they will ever realize how much damage they caused, and bringing them back into my life will only count as a “win” for them.
At this point it doesn't matter. They won't be "converted" until they have to feel the suffering. Even then they'll deny. Might as well call them names.
They still will, though. Being a conservative means never taking responsibility for your own mistakes, all the while you're complaining that no one takes responsibility for their mistakes anymore.
Yeah. Whatever happened to Antifa? It disappeared just like the Haitians who were eating dogs and cats. Isn’t that strange? I never hear about Antifa or pet-eating Haitians anymore.
This also goes for the people who didn't vote at all, or voted petulantly for someone different because they thought they were doing something "special".
Well they really want is to LARP and be part of a group. That will be their downfall.
Exactly! I'm so pissed off at the lethargic, misogynistic & RACIST assholes that stayed home. Q. Would we have won if we sent out a middle-aged WHITE MAN?
We had an intelligent, forward looking candidate & an all American GOOD GUY.
OUR MESSAGE WAS CLOUDY.
Dems are not owed votes, just cause your dear leader lost cause they couldn't build a cult base to rival Trump's cult is a failure of dem strategy, they had 4 years to make a good case for why they should be reelected into power and squandered it with giving up at the slightest pushback.
No, the folks who are to blame are the politicans who are bought and paid for by wealthy donors to do their bidding, dems are a corporate party like republicans are.
Seriously "vote blue no matter who"? Cause you are in a cult that thinks dems can do no wrong. Meanwhile that's how you get assholes like Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema who actively work against implementation of populist policy, like build back better, student debt forgiveness, etc.
Well said,they killed their own kids etc.Looks good on those low class uneducated white people. PRESIDENT ELON MUSK an Immigrant owns them ,they all lied and it can't be fixed.Merry Christmas. For the next 4 https://years.eat Trumps shifty diaper.🤣🤣🤣
We only reap what we sow, and the collective magas troupe have sowed wildly, catastrophe, devastation and destruction for us all to reap. We must not silently wait, we must speak up more loudly.
I have no symphony for any R voter these days. Will not help any maga that is struggling to make ends meet.Bc of MAGA’s I no longer give to charities MAGA’s depend on. Now only donate $ to our local animal rescues.
I've been doing the same; animals and the arts are where my donations go. I live in WV and my neighborhood is on NextDoor. It's amazing the # of people on there from other neighborhoods posting about Trump being great one minute and then begging for Xmas presents, rides and food the next.
I have empathy for you and will help you out in any way I can, human to human, politics aside, if there is any reasonable way I can. I support you taking your power back, that is a strong move. Good for you setting boundaries. Maybe tomorrow, a positive post!!! If you feel called.
It's worse than people know. Trump and maga have been going full racist for 10 years, China is 75% of South America's trade, and China and Russia combine for 75% of Africa's trade. French and US bases are being kicked out. BRICS has gone from 5 countries to 36. Trumps aura has the US in a bad spot.
They. Every last 1. 2 dumb 2 get it when #Trump proudly & TRUTHFULLY declared he ❤️d the ignorant & uneducated he absolutely 100% meant it. Just not how they took it. No, he was not sweeping them in2 his arms. His flock— revered, cherished. He meant: the stupid r ez 2 fool, manipulate. He ❤️s dummies!
Too bad the brunt of the incoming fire will be largely ascribed to Joe Biden, Democrats and "liberal ideology", rather than on themselves and the disease of their epic gullibility and intentional ignorance.
Hopefully some of pain cult members will endure will create a sense of having been played.
I've been screaming for years, they want to keep us stupid, sick, and poor. Stupid first, bc the other two can be arranged if you're stupid. Stupid+poor=sick and stupid+poor=sick. Republicans have been against $ for education since the 70s, even though it's
stupid+sick=poor. Rs have fought funding for education since the 70s even though it's a proven fact education raises quality of life in every sphere of a. Lower crime (their big bugaboo), more home owners, more spending 💰, healthy kids.
The issue is that they will continue to blame everyone else for their problems, that's what they've been doing for years, it's actually just typical cult behavior, and besides, stupidity doesn't just suddenly realize it's stupid, those cultists will never change.
They don’t feel the pain yet they will come January 20 /25 yes the balls already in motion. those who ignored what Trump and his party was sad will fill the pain for the next four years, with the rest of us. they’re gonna inherit a strong economy!
That's exactly right bodhi. Cocaine and those involved in corruption go hand in hand. The faster America realizes that Elon's not on our side the better. Putin's a nervous wreck knowing his plans are inches away from coming together. Trump, don't trust Elon or Putin.
They don’t know what they’re in for. They felt their life was much better under Trump. How quick people forget. They put us all in a very bad position.
Only if the Dems have the balls to step out of the way enough that the public feels the crunch. Gotta stop protecting the public from who they vote for.
A president who commits treason should NEVER be allowed to be president again. It was up to leaders to ensure treasonous leaders were ousted & jailed. Instead, Biden promoted Trump & all the traitor leaders as fit to lead, & ALL leaders joined in promoting leader treason as acceptable.
The problem is, when it happens to maga, it happens to all of us. And honestly, I don't want anyone to needlessly suffer, not even the 54% of adults that read at or below a 6th grade level.
NO, you are completly wrong. what I mean is Trump will take office on J20. They will enact the proj 2025. so this is really going to happen. You can wish all you want but Action is needed to protect your family, then your neighbor, and so on.
We are LONG past " wishing " it will not happen.
I’m feeling this so hard today even though I live in rural Canada. The fuckwit mindset is prevalent here and I’m learning my friends are among them. Feeling super defeated and alone right now.
So disheartening! And their support is a mix of apathy (which is my least favourite mindset of all time), mistrust in the current system and lack of awareness of current global events.
I’m just sad that those of us who didn’t vote for shitty pants will have to suffer too. No sympathy for anyone who voted for them or to those who chose to sit on their couch and not vote. I think I’m more mad at them right now.
The election was manipulated by Elon Musk. I don't know how he did it, but he did it. Nothing can convince me otherwise. 6 million Democrats didn't vote because of the electoral college????? Bull.
Yes, but their desire to keep women and people of color down will be fulfilled! This is what they voted for. They don't care what they lose as long as they think they can look down on someone else.
Trump can burn the place down, and in the end if he says "y'know it is all Billy Graham's fault", maga will say of course, why didn't we think of that, so true... Don't approach this from some rational angle!
The point is: they don’t perceive it that way. They applaud everything that will be done. I am a bit more optimistic since so-called “Realpolitik” will bring them back to reality.
In Germany they applauded the NS till the bitter end. Not able to see the Truth. By than millions were dead. Realpolitik will be obcsured by the fascination of power.
I hear you. That is what I meant…and at the end of the day, these kind of policies always end in self destruction.But you have a chance that it doesn’t have to come that drastic. As stated, I am an optimist by nature.
Democrats & Repubs spent months negotiating a bipartisan immigration & border bill - a really good piece of legislation!
The 🍊 a$$hole killed it because he wanted to run on immigration & this is where it has gotten us.
American citizenry has a serious “stupid” problem. 😡

Burn.
And tbh the schadenfreude will give me a little sustenance to continue on and I’m unapologetic abt that.

The election was stolen.
America was stolen.
As an unrelated note, a large section of the agricultural industry is operated by migrants who make less than minimum wage. I wonder what food prices would look like if production costs doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled?
Everyone deserves a fair/livable wage (1/X)
That's where most MAGAs hang out
We at Bluesky already know what's up
They get off on knowing they've pissed off libs. The message literally tells them to enjoy being sadistic. They read this as permission to be cruel.
They enjoyed it last time. Even if they suffer they convince themselves we suffer more. They love this.
Might be time to learn superior stoicism rather than trying to convince MAGA of anything.
The tribes of stupidity and malice are lost. We won't get them back in our lifetime.
Fuck them.
Why give them permission? They should be denied, that's what's just.
In a democratic civil society we have collective responsibility for the wellbeing of the whole.
If you ignore entire segments of the population that are unwell financially, mentally, morally, etc., you can't just wash your hands of entirely foreseeable outcomes
Or were we coddling ourselves because we thought that would be mean?
Whatever genuine attempts have been made to compromise with such nonsense, MAGA is a growing movement.
Just be a little cautious if you conclude they're more stupid than malicious. Stupid people are dangerous.

🙏🏼 💯 ❤️
A lot Trump voters were not hardcore MAGA, but in an information bubble or disengaged, and we let them rot there. Let's not make that mistake again.
I want to share this please.
Did u write this ?
(As want to give credit to author ) 💙
im no angel
but name calling an entire audience probably wont get you many converts
Well they really want is to LARP and be part of a group. That will be their downfall.
We had an intelligent, forward looking candidate & an all American GOOD GUY.
OUR MESSAGE WAS CLOUDY.
Let me know how that works out for you.
Not how actual voting works, but you let the people in power fool you.
Not voting is literally not choosing between two evils, because thats all politics is anymore, choosing between evils.
A reminder that the best way to slow Trump down is to diminish his support.
People will find it easier to leave Trump if they know they have someplace to go...
We all need to learn to enjoy misery. That is all we’ll see from here on out.
Retired teacher. Old habits die hard.🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Your message... SPOT ON!!!
Hopefully some of pain cult members will endure will create a sense of having been played.
Meaning you're ok with people suffering, including me.
Got it.
nice
We are LONG past " wishing " it will not happen.
Where did I say I was wishing for anything?
motherfucker’s! 💙🇱🇷
The 🍊 a$$hole killed it because he wanted to run on immigration & this is where it has gotten us.

I prefer “willfully ignorant”.
Would I have liked to see a more progressive win?
... sure; however, we're in the minority and have to settle for compromise.
The POS that trump put forward, that even hard line repubes voted against, would have sucked.
Is there a specific aspect of the bill you think is worth the essential loss of the Asylum system that bill would have caused.
This is the real world
I'd rather have hot coffee with a little creamer in it.
I'd settle for hot coffee black and say it's good
Because I don't want to drink battery acid
The compromise was good
Not because it's what I wanted
But
Better than what THEY wanted
In a stunning twist that surprised no-one it turned out Republicans could in fact blame all those groups for everything. And did.
