Sorry Ryleigh - we really do sympathize - So do a couple hundred thousand other Federal Civil Servants. Maybe next time you won’t believe a damn thing he says - except he doesn’t plan on any of us having a “next time”!
His lies come at us like a firehose, and people hear 1 thing in all that BS and cling to that like it's truth. These are people who think FOTUS is the wizard of Oz.
Don't care about Trump voters FAFO phase, they deliberately choose to vote thinking it would affect only black people or POC specifically. It's their hate that put ALL our lives at risk now that Musk access and distribution has our SS#, financial, personal and medical info.
Of all the things he said and all the things said about him, she clung to one thing he said at the end, almost in passing. The one thing that served her. And she's like, that's the perfect guy to run this country🤦♀️
Nevermind what the other 300 Million people will go through...
Rather tired of all these stories about drumpf supporters who wanted harm done to others, but are shocked that they could be harmed too.
Worse still, they lack any self-reflection & realize that the maga agenda is inherently cruel & they should cease supporting such wretched politics full stop.
It’s actually very telling that, if the well of public discourse gets poisoned to this degree, people’s basic sense of morality and critical thought can be completely subverted by propaganda and lies.
FAFO - support a rapist felon whose “economic policies” you decided were good and dismissed his chief skills - lying, cheating and assaulting women - as character flaws.
Lol! Trump told you he was going to fire you, you dumb schmuck!
I'm not a FAFO kind of guy. I'm a " tough shit, moron" kind of guy. She had nine years to figure it out and dove in whole hog. She wasn't duped. She just didn't care about anyone else. Why should anybody else care about her selfish ass. I hope she ends up sleeping under a bridge.
The magical-thinking Americans, “Of course I can trust what he says. It won’t happen to ME - I voted for him.”
I start feeling sorry for people in her situation and then slap myself back to sanity - they caused this - for themselves and millions of others who don’t deserve it. FAFO.
Wow, that Project 2025 sure sounds bad! Anyway, guess I won't bother spending 15 minutes searching the entire sum of human knowledge to see if anyone other than Trump has any opinion on it.
Find it almost inconceivable that any serious, sentient person could believe anything Trump said during the election (or any other time). Requires ignoring all history, fact and reality.
But, OK, if that’s true, what is she doing to do now to fight this evil and rally everyone to save America?
Gawd, do these people not remember the most basic lies that dropped from his mouth since 2015? We’re still waiting on his taxes and his healthcare plan from back then. The man is a walking, talking pile of bullshit. Sure, he knew nothing about Project 2025. Sure, IVF will be free. F’n dummies.
We won’t win any future elections (assuming we still have them) by cruelly mocking everyone who voted for Trump, suffered under Trump’s government and might be more open to voting against MAGA candidates in the future.
I'm saddened by a young person wanting to do the right thing but being misled by lies: IVF would be a strong pull for young couples🌹There seems very little empathy, and that is sad as well. Giving people a reason to vote Blue requires our empathy for next time, given the chance🦅
An intelligent woman. How desperate she must be to believe his bullsh!t, "Trump, at a campaign stop an hour and a half south of her, had promised to make IVF free. She knew that from a video clip she saw on TikTok. And she had believed him". Tempted to make a FAFO comment but it's just sad
To add, she's exactly the kind of person we need to recruit for future elections. The FAFO comments may make us feel good but it doesn't help moving her to our side
We told #MAGA what he was going to do. We gave them examples, & even showed them proof. They laughed at us & said we had tRump derangement syndrome.
They're not laughing now.
I found this story so frustrating. She was pretty focused on one thing -- the "free" IVF-- instead of how his administration would affect so many others.
“Believing” Trump is these peoples’ first mistake.
As an empathetic person, I really want to feel for folks. But damn it, you put your faith in a serial liar and criminal…what do you expect??
*May* be an update for her. But what's so striking in this report is the jaw-dropping brazenness with which the DOJ lawyers and the acting OPM director just ... lied.
I hope that itself becomes an issue in this litigation.
I'm familiar with Baldwin and so many other rural areas in Michigan. Almost all of the people there are unreachable to reason. I don't feel any sympathy for the woman, but I have great respect for the journalist who wrote this story. I just hope Bezos doesn't fire her for writing it.
I knew their jobs were in Trouble because Trump isn't a "take the kids to enjoy nature" kind of guy. He is a "take the kids to see Jeffrey Epstein" kind of guy.
White conservative women aren't real women. They are brood mares. Slaves. They do what their master tells them, and they like it that way. Trans women are more women than a conservative woman could ever hope to be. That's where the hate comes from.
58% of college-educated white women voted Harris. I don't speak of other groups as if they're one homogenous group, and I don't accept that being done to me. If you want to tell the percentage that *didn't* vote Harris to go to hell, go right ahead, but be specific.
Your numbers don’t mean anything if the rest of white women voters didn’t pull their weight.
Only about 52% of white women have college degrees.
52% of white women VOTED FOR TRUMP in 2024, up from the 48% from 2020 🤬
We all make a choice every day. We can add to the political hell currently happening or we can change it all. Cursing at someone. Jumping them for their opinion and creating a hostile environment on Bluesky is no way to go.
Sorry to lecture. Can we all help each other? Can we recreate civility?
First off, don’t lie. I didn’t curse anyone out. I stated facts. White women OVERALL, chose trump over Kamala just like they did with Hillary. As a collective, a big problem is that choices made by some affect us all when it comes to elections.
(FO = Find Out)
So, you voted for a guy who failed miserably the first time? A convicted felon? A liar, someone that tried to overthrow our government? There should be no 2nd chances for someone like that & there wouldn't have been if that Merry Band of Republican Senators had done their job. Sorry, not sorry.
Sometimes I wonder if these people just locked themselves in closets for most of last year. This information was out there, on TV, online, in newspapers. How do you ignore all of that? Makes it incredibly hard to feel sorry for any of them. We tried to tell you. WE TOLD YOU SO. Deal with it.
There were red lights, sirens and warning bells going off in the run-up to the election. Cable news (other than Fox News of course) warned us what would happen if Trump won. Still you voted for him.
Well hon, you made your bed. Suck it up and maybe do better in 2026. Good luck.
The STUPIDITY hurts so badly. Because of their stupidity, our Country and the World has to suffer! Felon47 is letting Project 2025 authors do whatever they want along with Billionaires.
People, let’s not let MAGA turn us into cruel assholes. This woman was just living her life in a cultural environment that is vulnerable to Trump. She was not a rabid Trump supporter, just shaped by her community and family and his lies. Hopefully she and others will learn. Make them allies!
Trump is a pathological liar.
Trump is a pathological liar.
Why does the media report everything he says. Trump and Musk crave the attention the media is giving them.
STOP IT!!!
Consider what might've been if enough oppressed white MAGA women found the wisdom to listen to Julia Roberts - or maybe the strength to BUMP-OFF THEIR MAGA husbands - and then go forth free to vote for Womens' LIBERATION rather than more Womens' continued OPPRESSION!
Oh, I think they can see and hear just fine. They just figured he'd attack Those Other People, while they got to sit back and watch, safe and sound. We tried to warn them, only to get self-righteously smacked down in return. No. Sympathy. From. Me.
I believe it’s an error to assume white women were uninformed or fearful when they voted for Trump. They supported him and still do, but they want him to target others.
No sympathy with one-issue voters who *chose* to remain ignorant on all other issues. FAFO and honestly, no loss if she doesn’t manage to pass that idiocy on via nature or nurture.
When you are comfortable voting for policies that harm others, you can’t expect any sympathy when the policies harm you. Stop claiming to be disconnected from politics when you’re a voter and following issues on social media.
If you voted for someone who promised cruelty to others because you were hoping for something free for yourself, you definitely don’t get an ounce of sympathy from me.
Her story highlights a problem with our nation. We are a selfish lot. Too often, we think only of ourselves & our tiny circle. We rarely seem to care about anyone or anything until it affects us personally.Worse if others are treated shabbily, cruelly or unfairly, we look away. Then one day it’s us.
While I don't consider myself Christian anymore, wouldn't it be something our country actually espoused true Christian ideals like love and compassion?
This is a perfect example of why Trump wants to cut department of education (keep em stupid) Disable WHO, FDA, HHS, ebola and bird flu experts and cut Medicaid (keep em sick) shut down CFPB, drive the economy into recession (keep em poor). It's all been done before. Look it up.
Welcome to your self-inflicted nightmare Ryleigh. Maybe a little reflection time in the mirror, asking yourself those hard questions, will bring some clarity and truth. Got to own it to make a change.
I have no sympathy. She knew what Trump was like in his 1st term and w/out guardrails, we knew his 2nd term would be worse. She’s dumb AF to believe what Trump says. She doesn’t need more kids- they’re expensive/not a necessity. Now, b/c of people like her, we all suffer under his 2nd term! 🤬
I know they do but the point is to dad a clear and string collective message. Even sharing articles gives them a pass. I mean Target still sells some cool stuff too. But no.
Yeah, and the Nazis built the autobahn and made great binoculars…What the fcuk are you talking about? We are not going to win a cold civil war by promoting media outlets that are controlled by fascists.
I'd say there are great deals for oceanfront property in Arizona and bridges in New York for these sorts of people, but you know what? After a decade of Trump and Trumpists, I just don't believe their excuses. They're just awful people who take refuge in professed ignorance.
Sounds like she voted for him, like so many others, and now the chickens come home to roost...or is that turkeys come home to roost...well, something came home to roost...
Voting matters. Another story in NYT about Medicare recipients losing virtual doctor visits on April 1. This really will hit Trump voters in rural areas.
As a domestic abuse survivor myself, I find it hard to believe another survivor can look at a “man” who’s been found guilty of *any* sort of abuse in a court of law and honestly think he’d not be fucking lying through his teeth. He has shown us who he is repeatedly. 😒
Folks, folks, I get the desire to be angry at these people. And I was as well, but we do really need to be willing to embrace them and stories like this are *a good thing*.
Focusing all our energy in "I told you so" feel good revenge won't do shit for us long term.
Get your fill of it but when you engage with these people directly, try and show some compassion and help them feel embraced l.
In a lot of ways they are victims of the lying, manipulative media and social settings they live in. Pushing them back towards that won't help us win when it matters
I had a while of "I told you so" for the first few weeks but I really think it's the most toxic, anti-liberal, cultish behavior that honestly makes me repulsived by the level of hatred for others.
Blame the billionaires, the influencers, the truly abhorrent. But let's not demonize every person
First, it is too bad that you got stabbed in the back by Trump. But, it is also too bad that you voted for him and selectively avoided all of the questions that arose re Project 2025, etc. Trump has always been a con man. He has always been for the wealthy and not you. Now, how can you help fix it?
She believed him…just thought only black, brown, and queer people were going to lose their job and suffer. Hope she suffers worse than what she thought others would. These people aren’t worth my sympathy.
There’s a lot of hate on this thread. She voted based on her perceived priorities. We should be focusing on how we can reach voters like her. She was poorly informed. Dunking on her is a waste.
Too bad so sad. Why are we hearing from the pretty blonde lady with her life ahead of her, who will easily find another job and someone to finance her “mission”? Why not the disabled guy, the grandmother likely to be evicted, the single mom losing SNAP?
Exactly. She made a poor choice. She is white and blond so in America she will do well no matter what. Saving my empathy for folks much less fortunate than her, but hopefully smart enough not to have voted for the Liar-in-Chief.
She brags about her gpa and had started working towards a masters…yet unable to find a source for news other than Tik Tok or Facebook. Boo hoo. Zero sympathy for anyone who voted after the disaster or his first term and the criminal convictions and remaining trials that will never happen now. Pfft.
This woman is going to get mercilessly attacked because of this piece. And people will feel sorry for her. I will feel sorry for her. But we should remember that because of her vote, other people are suffering much, much, much, worse fates.
Fuck that dumbass Nazi.
I have zero pity for these dipshits. I feel deeply for those who voted against Trump but anyone who supported him ever. Fuck em let em suffer the consequences of their choice.
I feel sorry for her. She was naive and she made the mistake of believing the orange turd but she was trying to do what she thought was right. She’s not a MAGA moron simply made the mistake of believing trump. She deserves sympathy.
Don't. She is only mad because it affected her plans of having a kid. Selfish reasons. Only until it affected her. Was she not upset by Musk's salute? Nope, when it affected her.
None of the bigotry bothered her. She is not an ally.
Grew up in Montana. Brothers fought wildfires. Dad was in management on the Rez. We on the Rez are well aware of the motivations of the capitalists colonizers.
if her morals and ethics allowed her to vote for trump the second time, frankly, i don’t want her in our government so i say: concepts of
thoughts and prayers; try cosco.
You know who I feel sorry for? The rest of us who are now enduring this epic Shite-Show after we begged, yelled, & repeated, "Please don't FA & make all of us FO." They skipped like Dorothy through the poppy fields to the polls bc they only cared about themselves. Now all I want to do is wake tf up.
She fell for the con. She knew he was a bad choice for women — and she foolishly bet she would personally benefit, not be hurt.
Casinos operate under a rubric that “The House Always Wins”, because players think *they* can be one of the few that win. Casinos profit because most players lose.
As far as I am concerned, she got what she voted for and has no grounds for complaining. I feel no sympathy for her. She now has to live with the consequences of her stupidity.
It is horrible that people made a huge mistake
And voted for him and now we all have to suffer! I have no sympathy anymore. She got what she voted for!!!!
It absolutely was! 💯! The challenge is the misinformation and outright lies being spread. It’s overwhelming. Just today, I was told that I am an idiot, that Trump and Musk are building the best country ever. I’m at a loss, I don’t know how to combat this.
tRump, some in his inner circle, and about 130+ Republicans in Congress should have been arrested and thrown into a federal prison (with no bail) in the early morning hours of Jan 7th 2021.🤬
He has absolutely no regard for the health, safety, and well-being of Americans. He never has…and he never will. Trump’s only concern has ever been and will always be himself.
Most Americans on either side have never heard of it. If you're a political nerd, probably you have, but Joe blow in the heartland knows nothing of it. He voted to have his taxes reduced, inflation dropped, and woke shit stopped. None of which is happening
I feel bad that she fell for his BS, but when someone shows you who they are, believe them. People need to be smarter. Trump ONLY cares about enriching himself. Nothing else.
These are the people who deserve the consequences of their bad decisions.
Dude lied to her over 3000 times in his first term, what on earth made her think he ever tells the truth?
I’m sad for anyone in the wake of this storm. However, I really don’t like it when people are ok with the mean, when they don’t think it’s directed at them. I voted to protect people from this, not to just protect myself.
No one should feel sorry for her and the rest of the individuals who voted for Donald Trump because every honest decent human being on the planet knows that Donald Trump has no redeeming values. Every honest person knows Donald Trump is a pathological liar and he represent the worst of human kind.

On the other, enough people believed a lying liar to get him elected, which makes it a problem for the rest of us, too.
So what can we do to help people recognize the lying liars for what they are?
Nevermind what the other 300 Million people will go through...
Worse still, they lack any self-reflection & realize that the maga agenda is inherently cruel & they should cease supporting such wretched politics full stop.
Lol! Trump told you he was going to fire you, you dumb schmuck!

But, OK, if that’s true, what is she doing to do now to fight this evil and rally everyone to save America?
Fuck her…she deserves her shitty fate.
They're not laughing now.
Anyone else want an apology?
As an empathetic person, I really want to feel for folks. But damn it, you put your faith in a serial liar and criminal…what do you expect??
“Any government employee who is afraid of transparency,” wrote the man who taught her AP govt class in high school, “is a criminal!”
in 2020 Biden got her vote, she lives in a very red rural town & was swayed by tik tok
True, certainly, of Elon, if he's actually a gov't employee. Other than him, which gov't employees are afraid of transparency? Any?
I hope that itself becomes an issue in this litigation.

That piece of shit belongs in prison.
You're using the same "fine print" argument that lawyers love to use when they defend corporations who stomp all over innocent consumers
DON'T BE SUCH A DICK
They find out the hard way.
Oh my Gad, I thought he was only going to hurt other people
Dude lied to her over 3000 times in his first term, what on earth made her think he ever tells the truth?

YOU VOTED FOR THIS!
