    Am Gen Z male and I want nothing to do with this fascist treacherous dipshit.

    Maybe its a good thing I didn’t make any friends, at least I won’t have any of my peers stab me in the back.

    Gen Z. Too young to have experienced or lived through the Reagan era lies and the Bush lies along with the courting of right-wing fringe politics, from the religious wingnuts to the Tea Partiers. Let’s give conservatism another go! Surely it’ll work this time.

      Can’t wait to hear about people too young to remember Trump voting against their interests in 20 years or so.

      Then again, maybe voting won’t be a thing in the USA at that point.

        You’ll get the token candidate and Barron will get 98.5% of the vote. Occasional beatings and investigations into the precincts that get too high of an opposition vote %.

    Vanishingly small percentage of fucking idiots later realize they’ve been conned. Film at 11.

    Weird, they were old enough to remember he didn’t live up to that campaign promise in his first term and just ended up swamping the drain even more. Did they think he was just going to do a total about face on his corruption in his second term?

    What???

    They feel duped? We been knew Trump was in kahoots with him. He’s a sexual predator, a liar, and a shitty business man. I feel like saying you’ve been “duped” shifts blame. You were not duped, you just didn’t realize you’d have to suffer with the rest of us, LIKE WE FUCKING TOLD YOU. Admit you made a selfish, shitty decision and do better.

      If their only source of media was manosphere podcasts or FOX News, I can absolutely believe they were duped. It still doesn’t absolve them of being regessive dumbasses that lack critical thinking skills, though.

    I’m thinking if they saw Trump’s record and still voted for him, this isn’t gonna be the first time they get duped.

      IMHO, people hyper fixated on the first couple years of Trump 1 where the economy was ok, he had experienced government officials putting up guardrails, and he coasting on what past administrations put in place.

      They thought Trump’s was blowing bow air and they thought they were going to get 2017 again.

      They are not getting 2017.

          I wouldn’t be surprised if, given the rich disinformation landscape in America, covid was destined to be an utter shit show in the USA.

          Trump sure as shit didn’t help.

      I mean it’s not like there was a concrete example of him promising to drain the swamp and shown concrete proof of his results before, how could they have known…

      Not really an excuse but it’s pretty common to be politically naive when you’re young. When Obama was first elected I just figured we’d immediately solve climate change and all get free healthcare and community college. I didn’t really understand how the political system worked.

      I imagine many of these people thought the same way. And they may have been too young to really follow things during Trump 1.

      So yeah… I wish they had been more savvy but we all gotta learn somehow. I’m willing to forgive if they end up on the right side after this.

    My peers are not your rich country club conservatives. They are scrappy guys who liked Trump because he wasn’t polished or predictable. To them, he was a rebel outsider who would fight “the swamp” with all he had. I remember heated lunchroom debates where they’d argue about whether or not he could truly upend our system and its backers.

    What a bunch of fucking losers.

      “Predictable” is quite literally the one quality you want the leader of the biggest military on the planet to have.

    This was all public knowledge before the election.

    But I guess you didn’t hear about that on TikTok and YouTube shorts.
