This fool said he voted for trump because "he said he would take care of the military and take care of the people that voted for him. "
These people were perfectly fine with other people getting hurt. Notice how he says that trump said he would take care of the people that voted for him.
Well, did you think about the other people? You wanted a MAGA president. Not a president of all of America.
Selfish bastards.
This is why I don't feel sorry for them. They are selfish and they would do it again, if they had any guarantees that it would not affect them.

(2,957 posts)although I do understand the AI kickback. But the proverbial cat is out of the bag, it is what it is. I've played around with this a few times and I must say, it's fun!
I've also created some 'pretty pretty pretty good' songs for some friends using SUNO and I must say, as a former musician, I was blown away by the results.

However, I'm glad to hear this story so I'm thankful in this case but I'm on the front page!

(439 posts)He said little about Project 2025, but was mildly supportive. His surrogates were more vocal in support until the provisions of 2025 came out and the polling was overwhelmingly negative. THEN he backed off and claimed to know nothing about it and his surrogates went radio silent. BUT he still cozied up to the main drivers behind it and pushed them as his cabinet choices, some of them were announced even before the election.

Everyone who voted for him knew exactly who and what he was.
He just didn't think that the leopards would be eating his own face.

I have a limited amount of compassion and sympathy to dispense. Selfish assholes don't deserve my sympathy.

(997 posts)During those four years, it has been documented that Donald Trump lied over 30000 times. I have trouble feeling any sympathy for people who voted for him anyway in 2024, and is surprised by his actions in 2025.
You KNEW he was untrustworthy, or at least you have no excuse for not knowing. Grow up; take responsibility for your mistakes.

(16,270 posts)When it hurts them or their family, they care about the issue. If it hurts other people, the libtards for example, they're all for it and long as it doesn't come home to roost at their home.
By and large we want issues to help taking care of people in general and move society forward. If it helps us, all the better but that's not usually a priority. But we realize when you raise up the people, there may be a side benefit to yourself.

I don't know why these people put so much faith in such obviously bad people and liars and con men.
When anti govt candidates get the support of people who literally work for the govt, you know something is just plain wrong with the followers. Cops, parks and rec workers, postal, military, teachers, you name it. Selfish, racist sheeple.
