    No, I screamed from the mountaintops that he is exactly what he presented himself to be. You’re just too stupid to notice.

    Now that Trump has been outed as an accomplice to child rape at best and actual child rapist at worst all the grifters are washing their hands of him. This is a bullshit nonapology meant as damage control for her brand.

      They don’t really admit wrongdoing. They claim Trump deceived them, I assume about being a sexual predator and a pedophile.

      They stand by their position on his policies, which are arguably worse for America than his depravity. Explicitly they mention the misogyny (abortion bans) and disregard for human lives (deregulation of guns), but claim to disagree on everything else - which must include climate and environmental protection, poverty and wealth, foreign policy etc.

            Also incorrect, since the single person writing is a woman.

              Are you fucking kidding me? Dropping all the culture war bullshit, they can be used here and be grammatically correct.

              I didn’t click the link but since I’m older than 5 I understand that’s been a gender neutral pronoun for hundreds of years.

                I was trying to convey this to my mom several years ago as she was trying to wrap her mind around trans people and how some use the pronouns they/them. She couldn’t believe me when I said it was already a grammatical convention to use they as a singular pronoun. I remember saying “imagine finding someone left a black coat in a movie theatre and you find it. You could say when you leave it at the lost and found, ‘I hope they come back to get their coat’, as you don’t know the gender of who it belongs to.” I was very confident that would get through to her. Nope, she insisted she would say “I hope he or she gets their coat!”

                Some people just dig their heels in when they’re wrong.

                  In fairness, “they” is usually used when either the gender is unknown or the person is known to use they/them pronouns. I think in this case, vga is objecting to using it when the gender is known. It is a little unusual but “they” is still gramatically acceptable to use for a man or woman when the gender is known

                  The best part is, she still unknowingly used singular they. “I hope he or she gets THEIR coat”

                  Yeah, older people especially, seem to have a short circuit in their brain when all signs point to them being that wrong. It’s a defense mechanism I guess.

      This is the kinda propaganda I would plant to gently turn MAGA away from Trump. It’s too fucking perfect, every post.

      Lemmy: “LOL, face eating leopards, she so dumb!”

      Yeah, but y’all (not you OP) are dumb as fuck for believing it’s a real person.

    The strange thing about conservatives is the sheet capacity for being wrong about everything simultaneously.

    Pick an issue. Abortion and birth control.

    The already compromised liberal compromise gave conservatives less abortions than when it was banned and virtually all moral harm other than what the fantasy of a soul imparted magically somehow into an egg somehow suffering harm.

    Instead they are poised to harm thousands of women. A harm that is only at all mitigated only insofar as they fail to have complete control.

    You could put almost any issue on a 50 sided die and roll it and find a bone headed destructive position.

    It’s not even his first time being president and the first time around he attacked our capital and sent an army of traitors to terrorize our lawmakers and literally shit on the floor of the people’s house. How the ever living fuck were they confused?

      I recorded thousands of hours of media in 2024 so they can be used against the media in the upcoming Hague Tribunal, My favorite is when the daily show was talking about biden and trump and said it really was biden that liked little girls and had STDS, but thought trump was hot.

    Your belief system is abhorrent to nearly every personal and political value i have.

    I believe in fairness, compassion, honesty, integrity, and the value of education. I believe in helping people who need help. I believe in a government that doesn’t intrude where it doesn’t belong - notably in the bedrooms of consenting adults. I believe in protecting free speech - that is to say, speech critical of the government. I believe that rich people should pay taxes. I believe that the sexual abuse of minors is a terrible crime meriting harsh punishment - especially when the perpetrator uses his power and privilege to access victims and avoid consequences; this would most certainly include ANY president, past or present.

    Does it make you proud to find these beliefs abhorrent?

    We should not be penalising people for admitting when they’re wrong, otherwise they’ll never admit they’re wrong and stick even more to their harmful beliefs. Good for them for having the courage to change their mind about something so fundamental. Hopefully now they know Trump is bad they can also consider/have conversations about some other things too.

      If they’re truly sorry and see the light that they turn toward leftism with time to recover sure. This isn’t that, this is a spiteful bigot who still says they’ll be bigoted to the end.

      We’re well past that point.

      Nazis don’t get to apologize. They get tried at Nuremberg.

      The fact that this woman still refuses to renounce any of her values inspite of the current direction of her party is very telling. All she probably cares about is that her family’s business is currently failing. So now it affects her. Don’t fall for the narcissist victim routine, she only cares that her face finally got eaten.

        There were about 8 million NSDAP members at its peak. About 200 were tried at Nuremberg. Tens of thousands of other party members were simply fined or lost their bureaucratic jobs.

      I’ve seen this account come up a large number of times and I’m convinced at this point that it’s a bot. Putin isn’t 100% sure he can control Trump, mainly because even Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing minute to minute. It’s also starting to realise that Trump is going to go down in flames, so they’re trying to find a new avatar, so all the Russian bot accounts are now starting to hate on Trump, so that his replacement won’t have to deal with the MAGA extremists quite so much.

        I don’t know how much of her account is posts like this because I don’t want to send a single byte to Twitter, but I’ve seen that name attached to enough other leopardsatemyface style content to be convinced this specific post does not represent what you could call her moment of realization.
