I do not believe in a self reflective Trump supporter. And that says nothing of him fulfilling his promises, many of them tuning out for the ones that they don't like
all the people who refused to vote for kamala must be so pleased with how little palestinian genocide is about to happen. aren't they? well? aren't they?
no?
gee it sure sounds like their whole little plan backfired in the worst possible way come to think of it, ACTUALLY.
Stop blaming the voters for kamala's bad decisions.
she threw her campaign when her campaign chose to abandon the very vocal block of anti-genocide voters who had enough votes to swing the election.
if your campaign can only succeed if several millions of people to change their minds suddenly, you ran a losing campaign from the beginning.

Dawg, the democratic party failed to energize it's base by running a center right campaign with a platform of strong boarders, a strong military, and tax cuts. Them failing to get enough votes is there fault for trying to beat voters with the cudgel of trump while offering nothing to most working families. I voted for Kamala, and even I recognize this. I am really tired of seeing a comment like this every time there's a post about trump. The election is over. Rhetoric like this only divides the left further.
Imagine thinking democracy is only your duty if you feel energized by the candidate.

It's almost like it could have been easily predicted
To be honest, my prediction was "parking lot", so the whole "riviera" concept was a surprising development.
The ethnic cleansing was obvious, tho.
My prediction was glass but I guess they’re accomplishing their goals just fine without nukes
Not by explaining it, because that was tried on and againd to no avail.
If only people had been talking about exactly what happened for months leading up to the election, maybe it would have gone differently.......

This is what they voted for and it's what everyone who didn't vote, voted for.
Just because you're single issue doesn't mean the politicians are.
Like, people had been screaming at these single issue voter to not do it, yet they did it, everyone is fucked, and they pretend they didn't do it.
I wouldn't be this annoyed if it's some small country but this is US, their policy affect the world. What worst is melon husk trying the same trick on other country as well.

And they'd vote for him again no matter.
Enjoy a moment of schadenfreude... Sure, but understand that it changes nothing.
Seriously. It's been 10 years of Trump BS antics in the news. If anyone is surprised I have have an oil to sell them that will cure that.

Where are people seeing these stories? I’m not trying to deny their existence at all, I’m just curious where they are?
I’m a huge fan of irony.
The poster points to this as an example: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/06/trump-arab-americans-dearborn-michigan-00203018
People are apparently surprised that Bibi’s best friend is anti Palestine. Who could’ve known?
I want to point out that we had a couple of brains who run around, called everyone stupid and thought Trump was on the side of Palestine.
I also want to point out that the Dunning Kruger Effect is alive and well here on Lemmy too.
but if you vote lazy biden it's gEnOcIdE!!1!
That was a tiring time.
Right up there with Latinos For Trump watching their families being deported.

when you voted to deport grandma
idk, I feel like we could take a much better approach to this. Instead of just mocking them, maybe point out how they maybe can't trust where they got their idea of who trump was, and maybe to stop supporting him?
Lots of people responding here are missing your point. If somebody you know voted for Trump is now struggling to understand what's going on, and they voice this thought to you, take it as an opportunity. You shouldn't tell them what to do (ie "Don't watch Fox News"), but rather, follow the Socratic Method to guide them to question their sources. Start small - their entire worldview won't shatter in one conversation. But if you see cracks forming in their beliefs, that's something worth fostering.
No, not everybody is going to see the light. It's important to know your "audience." If you don't believe they're asking in good faith, or if you're not comfortable engaging with them, then please don't do it. At the same time, although it would feel really good to throw a We told you so! at them, it's better saved for rants among like-minds. Responding with such hostility to somebody who already feels used and betrayed isn't going to help them find their way back to reality.
Remember that we are going to need to be as united as possible on this war against the oligarchs. Whether someone has seen this threat coming for years, or only just now realized what's going on, it's not going to matter in the big picture. It's better to educate than isolate.

20 years of pointing out that shit like Fox News was just feels over reals sure did a lot of good on that front.
This works when no faith is involved. Trumpists are a cult. People who believe in something at an irrational level (like what happens with religious fundamentalists) can't be reasoned with. They are way beyond the point where reason works with them. Now only a very hard wake up in the form of a traumatic event will work for them.
Have you ever tried to convince a very religious person that their god doesn't exist? Same thing.
I guarantee you that the people saying "this isn't what I voted for" voted for him in 2016, 2020, and in 2024.
They got exactly what they voted for. These people are just surprised that the leopard is eating their face, and not those of darker skin.
maybe point out how they maybe can’t trust where they got their idea of who trump was
people have been doing this for years. YEARS
i will mock and ridicule them until the day i die. fuck trump, and fuck trump supporters.
"If you believed x, maybe it's time to look at who told you x and whether they're a trustworthy source of information"
This happened in the UK too with Brexit. When things turned out badly, in the exact way as was predicted, it was "this isn't what I voted for". But the problem was never with the vote itself, it was always the fault of politicians not implementing things correctly, it was the EU's fault for not giving them what they wanted although they voted to be outside of it, experts didn't warn them enough although they ridiculed said experts because the experts didn't went along with the Brexit beliefs.
It's like trying to be Scully and going against Mulder's "I want to believe".
I mean if you read it article it's full of "this is the Democrats fault" and "we made a mistake, but we'll never admit it". So many are still flailing, looking for anyone else to blame and absolve them of a dumbass move.

"Oh, then this isn't what I thought I voted for."
It's exactly what you thought you voted for. (They wouldn't admit that they're wrong though)
