QOTD: A Trump Voter
Published by digby on February 14, 2025


This is a Trump voter who works for the US government. Apparently, she didn’t think Trump would actually do what Project 2025 said they planned to do because Dear Leader lied to them and said he had nothing to do with it:

We voted for border security. We didn’t vote for my husband to lose his government career and benefits for which he has worked so hard.”

“This possibility is looming over countless families right now. We don’t know what our financial future holds. My husband dedicated the better part of his life to this country, first in the military and now working for the government. I have watched as he busted his ass every single day for this job. Our story is like many others, yet they [the Trump Administration] see them as budget line items.

We are not a fucking line item. We are real people with families who need to put food on the table just like everyone else. We have done nothing but support this country. To be disregarded and tossed out to save a buck is sickening. I support Trump on many things, but I won’t support him on this. He has already lost my support.”

1. ...

[FSogol]

2. Suckers! It is really hard to feel sorry for these idiots.

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Exactly What I Thought

It was fine was someone would be caused pain.
Now they are the "someone" and they don't like it.

[Irish_Dem]

28. She assumed everyone else would get screwed, not her family.

Everyone else getting screwed was just fine with her.

[brush]

77. I know. They voted for a convicted felon who once tried to overthrow the government.

You can't get any stupider than that.

[FalloutShelter]

3. Face... meet leopard.

[BOSSHOG]

4. The operative part of the trump supporter

SHE DIDN’T THINK. Just as he wanted it Darling. But she supports trump on many things! Bless her heart.

[dem4decades]

5. Imagine that, Trump lied.

[tanyev]

6. Congratulations! You did get what you voted for.

[bdamomma]

7. She needs

to read Project 2025 it's all in there, and he knew about it.

You never knew how good you had it till it's gone!!!!

[pandr32]

8. The Felon has never been honest.

His lying is as well known as his face paint. Seriously, Republicans didn't know this?

[tanyev]

12. Seriously. How to tell if Donald Trump is lying verbally:

1. Is his mouth moving?
2. Are sounds pouring out that are identifiable as words in the English language?

If the answer to both questions is yes, then he is lying.


How to tell if Donald Trump is lying on social media:

1. Is there a post posted in his name?
2. Are there combinations of letters identifiable as words in the English language?

If the answer to both questions is yes, then he is lying.

[pandr32]

16. 💯

Thanks!

[Wuddles440]

67. All true...

but when he's speaking (i.e. babbling incoherently) he always seems to sniff prior to telling another whopper. I swear his nose seems to grow longer too, but that might just be my imagination.

[DBoon]

9. She voted in her last election

Trump promised we'd never vote again

[Dave Bowman]

10. No sympathy for these nasty ignorant fools.

[Ms. Toad]

11. The sad reality is that I'm sure she still sees many of us as line items,

Or acceptable casualties of policies with which we disagree. This isn't a fundamental awakening - it is simply that the slash and burn hit her door.

[RussellCattle]

49. Bingo!! Exactly right. Those lazy bureaucrats in Washington have to go and leave my hard working husband alone. Maybe.

......even a small raise.

[gab13by13]

13. Thoughts and prayers

[roamer65]

14. ...

[Wounded Bear]

15. Voting for trump and "supporting this country" are mutually exclusive...

Guess they're finding out now.

[Docreed2003]

17. "I support him on many things, but not on this"

It's always amazing to me how Trump supporters are full throatily supportive of even his most heinous policies, until they are personally affected.

[mr715]

20. Racism

Easy.

[Liberal In Texas]

64. As long as they're owning the libs and deporting brown people they're fine with it.

They never think that this terrible crap the magats in power do, that it will affect them.

[BoRaGard]

19. "Ha ha, Suckers and losers. Ha ha." - G.O.P. Felon 47 and Billionaire-Bro Presidont Muck (R)

[rurallib]

21. Maybe next time these folks will pay attention

because 75 million of us knew about it.

[mackdaddy]

22. Trump/Musk no longer NEEDS her support.

She helped them take the authoritarian dictator power they told her and everyone they would take.

Dumb ass.

[Solly Mack]

23. It is what you voted for, but I feel bad for the workers who didn't vote for Trump.

Your need to punish some people has backfired on you. Hope you're happy.

Trump told you he would do this. You should have listened.

[odins folly]

24. As someone who was just like her husband

Retired military and thankfully retired gov worker. It never ceased to amaze me how many gov workers and military vote against their own best interests. Most of the folks i worked with were apolitical while at work due to regulation.
Also, the belief that we need to shrink the government. I cannot recall anyone who was a drain on our operations, everyone did the work, everyone. When you look at the exponential growth of the population of the US, you can't reasonably believe we could function with a s.aller government.
All of that has been pushed by rich white men who don't want to have to pay for their abusive and damaging production practices.
And stupid people believe them because, you know ow dems are evil or some such shit....

[spooky3]

35. Early in my career I worked for the feds.

Every one there in both of my work groups was more than competent, and nice as well—with only one exception. He was nice but in over his head. And, contrary to popular belief, it WAS possible to fire people, and he was let go.

[birdographer]

36. I don't think Elmo's end game is a smaller government

I think he is shooting for NO government, but rather him as the CEO of America with a few loyal employees, in charge of everything. No doubt aided by the massive AI installations he is building.

[JMCKUSICK]

45. At this stage of the game

The true wizard has not yet been exposed. IMHO

[3Hotdogs]

61. Anyone remember an asshole, Grover Norquist.

[wryter2000]

59. Started with Reagan

As most of our problems did. Government isn’t the answer. It’s the problem. BS

[odins folly]

74. Agreed

What logic does a person follow that leads them to vote for politicians who tell you government is the problem, elect me to go to DC and destroy it....

Reaganites, tea parties, etc, all with a direct line to current group of asshols the maga crowd...

[UpInArms]

25. FELP

[mwmisses4289]

79. Poor leopard is gonna have some

major digestive issues eating a magat.

[LisaL]

26. They cut off a tree limb they were sitting on.

It was clearly obvious Trump would go after federal government.

[Irish_Dem]

27. People are just props in the play the Trump has running in his head.

He is the only star of the show, everyone else is just an expendable prop.

[Abstractartist]

29. Psssssh

I have ZERO sympathy for anyone who voted for trump. He told everyone he was supporting the 2025 project, and I’d a convicted felon. So too bad, now you know what it’s like to be on the shit side of the republicans. Maybe if you look deep into your soul, you will find being an arrogant pos and not voting for the woman presidential candidate, well maybe your husband would have been able to retire with dignity vs being thrown to the curb like a piece of lint.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

30. Maybe the Kennedy Center

under its new chairman will have a tiny violin concert for these recently-outraged Turnip voters....

[spooky3]

37. Good one! Nt

[ms liberty]

31. Bless her heart.

Stupid twit.

[dalton99a]

32. So Sad!

[Emile]

33. Elections have consequences, time for these

idiots to take responsibility for what they have done.

[OldBaldy1701E]

34. Oh, but you are! You just refused to accept it thanks to the smoke blown up your ass. (n/t)

[spooky3]

38. May be time to stop watching him "bust his ass" and go get

a job herself. And if there is a next time, don’t vote for any Republican.

[SamKnause]

39. Blah, blah, blah.

Nobody cares.

We warned you.

You called us names.

You ignored us.

You threatened us.

You whined and cried you wanted 'your' country back.

Fuck you !!!

This is our country too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You voted to destroy it.

Fuck you, just fuck you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[patphil]

40. I guess becoming financially destitute can make one "woke".

It's too bad they didn't see Trump for what he was a little earlier.
That's a harsh lesson to learn.
He said what he was going to do, and he did it.
Who would have thought he was telling the truth!

[bronxiteforever]

41. In the words of Jerry Seinfeld

[Joinfortmill]

42. I Don't Care, Do U?

[Blue Full Moon]

43. Sounds like the repugs I worked with for 30 years

Didn't know the leopard was going to eat my face. Somebody else disease hits again.

[Rebl2]

44. Trump and his goons don't care

who they hurt. Even those that voted for him. Trumpers should have listened to what democrats were saying. For them to think it would not happen to them was foolish.

[GiqueCee]

46. Too little, too late, Cupcake...

... the Orange Skidmark already told you that he doesn't care about you, he just wants your votes. And y'all cheered the sonofabitch. You put him there, and now he's tossed you aside like a used Depends. You deserve whatever fate befalls you. The rest of us do not.
Karma's a bitch, ain't it?

[NNadir]

47. Yes you are a line item. FAFO.

[Blue Full Moon]

48. Sounds just like the repugs I worked with for 30 years

Didn't know the leopard was going to eat my face. Somebody else disease hits again.

[Beartracks]

50. It's too bad such voters disregarded the warnings just because the warnings came from DEMOCRATS.

[Godot51]

51. Anti "big" government

Work, or better, "bust one's butt", for government money.

Then vote for a candidate who is against the government.

And complain about the government shrinking your, personal bit of it.

[Blues Heron]

52. Lol - these people my god

Lol
Too funny. These people. omg you can’t make this shit up “let’s vote for a rapist I’m sure it will be fine”

“We’re putting an insurrectionist felon back in the white house after he killed Americans during COVID!” What could possibly go wrong? What? He laid us off? Wha?

Next time wake the fuck up sleepy head!

[moonshinegnomie]

53. zero sympathy

if they end up homeless on the street i dont give a damn. fuck them

[OMGWTF]

54. Fk Trump and fk you for voting for him.

That is all.

[flying-skeleton]

55. She certainly did....

FAFA didn't she. Good. No sympathy here.

[royable]

56. For maggots as a whole, the empathy meter is pegged at zero.

Growing up, I never suspected there were so many mentally damaged among us.

[JHB]

57. What Digby said.

[Comfortably_Numb]

58. We're gonna need more leopards. The ones we have will be full sooner than later.

[Demobrat]

60. He said at every rally that he intended to cut

government waste. Well dear, it turns out that government waste of skin was you.

[Skittles]

62. he was only supposed to hurt brown people!

[aggiesal]

63. We told her, he would do this! ...

He told her, he would do this!

She chose not to believe us.

This is on her, at this point.

Dumb@$$

[slightlv]

65. There is just no way I can feel sorry for these guys.

In 2016, some of them may have been able to be excused because they didn't understand what he was saying with his word salads. Today, they ALL know what he did and how much he hurt this country... how much a damned traitor he is to this country; yet they still elected him, rape and felony status and all.There's just no way they should be surprised at any of this. This is not only a trump admin move, it's a damned republican move. What else did they think they were going to do on Day 1? These repugs told them straight out what they were going to do. And you swear up and down he never lies. So NOW you question his integrity and motives? LOL /snark.

Leopard eating face party, indeed. It only makes a difference when it hits them square between the eyes. This one did... and it won't be the last time the leopard eats their faces, either. Dumb shit.

[Buddyzbuddy]

66. I feel really bad for her and the people that supported the

felon, NOT! The plan was publicized in Project 2025. Was it thought of as a rumor? I bet the idiots that didn't vote still don't recognize they could have stopped this runaway train and still won't vote in the future, if elections are still held.
Much pain to be had by all. You don't have to be a Democrat to vote for the right thing, if it's not too late.

[Blue Owl]

68. You get what you voted for you stupid fuck -- now shut the hell up

[sakabatou]

69. Another victim of face eating leopards

[Carlitos Brigante]

70. You are less than a fucking line item. You are barely even shit. Because at least

shit gets noticed. And on top of that incredibly stupid to think the moron who made everything worse the first time around was somehow, magically stop being a psychotic imbecile and only punish the people you happened to dislike. And if your husband didn't know any better either. He can fuck right off too.

[Sober Retiree]

71. Poor Choice

You know what they say in Russia? Tuff Shitzky

[Morbius]

72. Um...

Quote:

We voted for border security. We didn’t vote for my husband to lose his government career and benefits for which he has worked so hard.

Yes, my dear woman. You did vote for your husband to lose his government career and benefits for which he has worked so hard. You can't claim otherwise. You know what? If you had voted for the black woman, you would have a right to complain. But you forfeited that right when you cast your vote for the felon, the liar, the game show host, the adjudicated rapist, the confidence man.

You voted for this. Take responsibility. It's what adults do.

[Meowmee]

73. What? You won't support him on this

but you still support him? 😹😹😹

[Buns_of_Fire]

75. Absolutely correct. To be a line item you must have a net worth of over $3 Billion. nt

[Autumn]

76. I'm sure you can find sympathy somewhere in the

dictionary between shit and syphilis. Hope that helps. You got exactly what you voted for.

[mwmisses4289]

78. If you voted for trump and republicans,

you didn't support this country. You have shown that you hate yourselves, you hate America, and you hate the American people.

[Beausoleil]

80. Sounds like someone

didn't do her "research".

[Happy Hoosier]

81. They voted for peoples' misery.

They got it. They just didn’t think THEY would be the miserable people.

[Klarkashton]

82. About to find out what it's like to try and survive in the

Public sector economy.
Must have been nice to vote for trump in the comfort of a lifetime job knowing that only "they" were going to suffer.

[Progressive dog]

83. Still supports Trump on many things.

What would it take for that person to care about the harm done to others?
Should I feel sympathy? I don't.

[hawkeye21]

84. Uh, you're a little late, lady

I have no tears for the willfully ignorant such as this woman and her husband. All they had to do, and everyone like them, was to vote for decency and democracy instead of depravity and dictatorship. Too bad, so sad . . .
