Transcript:

I’ve been a loyal Trump supporter since 2016.

I lost a job, friendships, been smeared online, doxxed, and pressed charges on people who’ve stalked and harassed me for supporting him.

If Trump doesn’t want my support, because I care about the Epstein Files, then I’m done.

Bye.

    “I lost a job, friendships, been smeared online, doxxed, and pressed charges on people who’ve stalked and harassed me for supporting him.”

    The epitome of the leftist hatred that thinks they’re justified in ruining a person’s life just because of different beliefs, and then the irony of the outcome. Like the site which lists every Tesla owner that harassed and doxxed them until they sold their Teslas.

    And all that had to be done was to wait it out. Same people who ridicule the “both sides” approach but know that “both sides” are on the Epstein list.

    Left and Right are both corrupt, but we have to vote for the lesser of the two evils every term. What’s the point of the declaration of Independence then if we the people can’t protect our sovereignty from a tyrannical government lol

    That’s alright. AOC will be the answer in 2028. Just because she’s “not Trump”.

      It’s not that the beliefs are different, it’s that the content of the beliefs are abhorrent, backwards, wrong, and/or just plain stupid. I don’t mind competing beliefs that are not based on fantasy or are not obvious con jobs or are not obvious lies to protect powerful pedos or obvious red herrings to distract from obvious facts and obvious lies. Why don’t you try supplying some of those and see if you don’t stop get pissed on from up high while wallowing down low in the gutter with those opinions.

        It’s quite obvious that people aren’t going to support Trump anymore if he can’t prove that he’s innocent. And the left isn’t any better. Perhaps Biden should have released the list right after his string of preemptive pardons, since he had nothing to lose anyway.

        I was hoping he’d do that as the fallout would have been hilarious to watch.

    Thoughts and Prayers

    Maybe… just maybe people shouldn’t worship politicians, or anyone rich/famous to begin with. But what do I know, I’m just a simple person who doesn’t want to deport/imprison people for the color of their skin or take Medicaid and food away from the poor.

    Obvious stupidity aside went to the “non-satirical” r/conservative and even there the temperature looks bad for Trump. I’m actually surprised that there is so much negativity against Trump there now the mods were not able to delete enough comments.

      The moment Trump openly starts killing brown people in his death camps they will all come running back.

      “Forgive me, Daddy.”

        They looked past that for the last 12 years.

        No, I think the media machine is trying to phase trump out, by finally rubbing it in their stupid faces, like a dog’s nose rubbed in shit.

      Trump has been riling up his fan base and conspiracy theorists since the election. Actually, he has been riling them up since the 2016 election by accusing the dems of all being pedophiles and saying he was going to lock them up. But in the 2024 election, he talked about Epstein specifically quite a few times and led his base to believe he would actually release the Epstein files. Unlike the economy, which you can use various metrics to claim it’s doing good or bad (stock market, grocery prices, etc.) Epstein is a pretty black and white case of “he’s literally a pedophile and was found guilty for doing lots of horrible things.” Everyone, conservatives and liberals, has spent many years rightly hating the guy, but also waiting for everyone he was involved with to also be punished. The maga base was dumb enough to believe that it was only dems and maybe a few unimportant republicans on the list, but they’re out for blood that Trump is refusing to give them, so they’re starting to actually turn on him, a little at least. Trump’s big mistake was thinking that he could use the Epstein files like he’s used everything else so far. In his mind, pedophilia is no different to Hillary’s emails: just a way to rile up his base and use their anger. He assumed that if he stopped talking about it then they would too. He’s so out of touch and evil that he didn’t realize that to the average, non-elite American pedophilia is unforgivable and it’s something conservatives will actually fight against (that’s why republicans accuse trans and gay people and basically anyone they don’t like of being a pedophile: it’s wildly effective)

    I wonder how many of these people will put 2 and 2 together and question every other time Trump used the same blame the dems + shoot the messenger strategy.

    It’s almost like he’s a corrupt piece of shit and this is literally his strategy for eve-ry-thing that makes him look bad.

      Literally we pointed to his career in real-estate where he consistently ripped off contractors when he was running the first time and people said. “Yeah that’s my guy. The one that weasels out of honest deals” that’s not a business man. That’s a crook.

      They’ll put 2 and 2 together and get whatever the GOP tells them. They don’t think. They won’t think. If Trump gets bad they’ll dump him, but then go for the next one. I live in a red state where we voted in some worker rights, but people still had to vote for that R… and now that the workers rights are being taken away, the republicans are still mouthing the party line of “It’s bad for business” even when they voted for it.

        He realized he would lose revenue and recognition if he didn’t swing back to Daddy. Morality is dead.

    All that happened to him personally, but it took the Epstein files to finally break him? Don’t tell me it’s not a cult.

    I’m glad there actually is a moral line for these people. But, as best as I can tell, we’re still not over it for most of them.

    I hope no one ever lets them forget how much had to transpire before they found where that moral line was. I am going to go to my grave being spoken of as that nice old man who had a kind word to for everyone until the moment he would find out they were a Republican.

      I’m wondering if this incident is providing an off ramp for some people, mentally.

      Like, it’s hard to admit being wrong, or picking the wrong side. There is a certain amount of dissonance they must feel. This provides an opportunity to exit.

        Could be, but I’m about six months past caring about the mental state of Trump voters.

        I’m going to die of age before we’ve patched up the damage they voted in. That optimistically assumes we really ever patch it up. My kids are going to have to live a good chunk of their lives in this fucking dystopian hellhole they voted and cheered for. And I look back on decades of life and realize this is the logical endpoint of where US conservative politics have always been headed: a stripping away of rights from women, minorities, and queer folks and gutting of our educational system for the sake of keeping the populace stupid and controllable. Every conservative policy I can recall has been in service of these goals.

        The only new part is that they are openly embracing oligarchy, everything else is stuff they’ve been saying or doing somewhat more politely for as long as I can remember. They finally got power and immediately did exactly what everyone who has opposed them all these years predicted they would do, giving the lie to “compassionate conservatism” and “big tent” and all the other crap they tried to paper over their bigotry with in the past.

        Fuck those people whether they realize how badly they have fucked up or not. They have fucked over the entire nation with their asshattery, despite Trumps behavior in his first term and after, despite the proliferation of information about project 2025 prior to the election, and despite 8 years of the rest of us trying desperately to explain to them how they were going to fuck us all in their rush to own the libs and win the culture wars.

        I couldn’t care less about whether they get the needed offramp unless it increases their chances of laying awake in bed at night in horror and shame at what they have dealt to the nation.

        Edit - my tone not intended at you. :)

    I googled this guy to see if this story was in any way significant, and his other posts are so Poe’s Law batshit that I have no idea which of them are serious and which aren’t.

      Sums up most of MAGA. At this point there are so many conflicting narratives that these people literally have no idea what to believe. They lack the ability to fact check anything or think critically. So in the absence of critical thought, they do the only thing they know which is to parrot the party line and try to fit in with their other MAGAts.

        Yes fuck em, but maybe republicans will see what they did and vote blue next time. Maybe? If this guy truly learned from this then he is redeemable and so do some other republicans.
