Tomorrow in the NYT: I voted for Donald Trump because I hate the people he hates and wanted to see them suffer. Now that I am suffering, why can’t you find it in your heart to be sympathetic? RUDE

To the folks that voted for Trump but say “well, I didn’t vote for that”:
You did vote for an adjudicated rapist, and a convicted Felon that tried a coup when he lost last time. So when you say “I didn’t vote for that”, I have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about.
It’s even better when they’re directly involved in the things that he said he was going to get rid of, and they still voted for him. Did they not think he would follow through on his word? Did they think he would shut down an entire department except for them? The lack of empathy always astounds me.
Look i followed the Jesus teachings. Do unto others before they do it to you. Or something. I don't know. Anyway. I just want my job back. Can someone help me?
We're surrounded by so many people who not only do NOT understand how government works, but lack even a basic understanding of a social compact. If voting is one of the ultimate expressions for each of us to determine what kind of society we want to share, then these people are utterly failing.
I, like many others in the replies, find it very hard to sympathize with these people when the inevitable hens are now coming home to roost - barely a month into the new administration too!
Why would you ever use your vote as a means denigrate others rather than trying to even improve your own lot?
"Mine was only one vote, why are you blaming me?" Because there were 77,302,579 other voters who are all saying the same thing. You all had one vote but you can't ALL not be responsible. FOAD.
From what I’ve seen from pieces like that, the reporters / editors involved in those interviews do always seem to know how to give the other party just enough rope…
There it is. Way too many of my family members might boohoo now, but they'll never stop voting Republican because it's part of their identity. Show me change through your actions and we'll talk. Otherwise, bye.
They've proven they're not of sound judgment, unreliable, unworthy of trust. Tomorrow they change what minds they have left. I like a party that shuns those people.
Go to yahoo some day and read the comments. MAGA doesn’t talk about his great trump policies are but how they love seeing libs, minorities and other countries upset. Or it’s, “i got laid off so I don’t care that you did too”
I hate that you are suffering, but the problem is so are we. But it’s not the time to say I told you so … now we have to get together and fight back. I think it takes a lot of character to admit a mistake, I’ve made more than my share. Join us in fighting for change. We are Americans! 🇺🇸
Thank you and I hear you, but it’s never too late to have a change of heart especially with an open admission. My hope is that instead of being angry we can join together and fight for the same cause. We need all the friends we can get. I appreciate you! 🙏🇺🇸
First they came for...wait, what? I was told they'd come for the biological men playing women's sports and the eeeleeegul aliuns first and I could just sit back and eat my popcorn
First they came for the Immigrants, and I was thrilled with that.
Then they came for the Trans people, and I was ecstatic about that.
Then they came for me and, wait... you're not supposed to come for me! I voted for you! Just come for the weirdos! NOOO!!!

But it’s never- sorry I wanted you to eat a shit pie, I was wrong-let’s fire the baker willing to serve shit.
Unfuckable fascists remaining unfuckable until they stop wanting to hurt others.
You did vote for an adjudicated rapist, and a convicted Felon that tried a coup when he lost last time. So when you say “I didn’t vote for that”, I have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about.

It's pathetically lazy and I'll never get it.

So YOU'RE the author of all those @nytpitchbot.bsky.social posts!
My sympathy nerve got stomped on back then. Never did recover.
"But my kids need Medicaid!"
"That USAID food was grown by American farmers like me!"
"I paid into Social Security my whole life!"
Here’s their insta

The ones who wanted him to hurt Those People but are shocked they're getting hurt? Fuck them. I will ridicule them a lot.
Let's focus on the non-voters instead. 1/2
When democrats stay home, Republicans win.
We are many, they are few -few, but loud, obnoxious, power hungry, & greedy.
2/2
Warning: I may be stealing that meme....
My second favorite part is pushing it past Musk's favorite number/birthday
Now: Why didn’t anyone tell me about his policies?!!!
They’re angry that their fascism is being applied to them as well
Unless you are interested in facilitating that underlying fascism, these are not your allies
They are perfectly content with their vote for white nationalism, and they will vote for white nationalism again
They are simply angry that in this case they are also being harmed
Then they came for the Trans people, and I was ecstatic about that.
Then they came for me and, wait... you're not supposed to come for me! I voted for you! Just come for the weirdos! NOOO!!!
