they don't actually care about anything but money, typical of conservatives.

Typical conservative. They don't care until it affects them directly. Enjoy suffering the consequences of your choices dipshit.

This is the "I'm alright Jack" crowd, not necessarily the ones driven by hate, so the actual "conservatives" and the backbone of rightwing support.

Whilst even when the mainstream Right move all the way to Fascism they keep on supporting it, it's only as long as they themselves carry on being alright.

"Run the country like a business!"

Hires CEO who ruined every business he ever touched.

This fascist bankrupted a casino.

There are several fake text generators so I don't trust any 'screenshots' with only one timestamp, especially one for 1am :/ why are you both up at the same time to exchange messages that fast

I can believe exchanges like this are happening, I'm just also fully aware that people like making up fake Everybody Clapped posts too, and this strongly looks like one of them

I’ll believe they’ll vote Dem when I see it. Trump was a fuck up before he was president and a terrible businessman. He was a fuck up when he was president and got hundreds of thousands of people killed unnecessarily because of his narcissism. He very plainly showed who he was in his words and actions. People still voted for him THREE TIMES.

They’ll fucking check the box for him or any other R next time because god forbid they take responsibility or self reflect at all for electing that shit stain.

Voting conservative is a failure of empathy. Once it affects them themselves, then they see the downsides.

Too late and zero sympathy for all the fucking MAGA voters.

Yeah..... Call me in 4 years when they vote republican again because it's not trump on the ballot and something something evil Democrats. I'd bet the same people saying this in 2025 were saying something similar when trump caused the COVID crash by doing fuck all to prevent the spread.

[–] SasquatchBanana@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

You're right because the media has been captured by the right wing. And already to vote for Trump or believe in Elon means there's something peasant brain about you.

[–] Linkalee@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Question is, will they remember that they said this when the elections happen four years from now? Will they remember this for next year's elections even? Trump supporters tend to have very short memories, in my experience.

I really want to believe this.

But we have watched Donald Trump do so much stupid, evil shit in real time and we still ended up here.

There is only a small minority of people voted for Trump because of prices. They did it because they hate that the world is not constructed for them to be on top. They hate that there are three transgender high school athletes in the state. They hate that Harriet Tubman is on the twenty dollar bill. They hate that the Brown MnM is less sexy. They hate that they couldn't get a date in high school. I do not trust self-interest will prevail over blind, stupid hate after we have witnessed it not for so long.

If seeing people deported to extraterritorial prisons without due process, the only evidence of their crime being Donald Trump says so, is not enough to get these people on side, but their retirement portfolio getting fucked with is, I have no faith in them.

What you're missing is that the majority of his supporters don't even know about the bad things because their news bubble hides it from them or they don't care because it doesn't affect them directly.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (4 children)

My mom and uncle never, ever hear anything he does framed negatively.

They spin it all day, every day.

My uncle has at least been trying to vary where he gets his news, but Facebook makes sure to enrage him with something about condoms for Gaza or some equally stupid shit.

Bunch of people around here are out-right admitting they didn't really pay any attention to what anyone running was saying. They heard trump say he would bring down prices/kick out immigrants/guns/no abortion/whatever single issue, and just checked the box. The manufacturing workers here are especially loud about how they feel deceived because they didn't listen to anything he actually said, or just didn't know what tariffs are, like at all.

Will any of them vote otherwise next time? I guess we will see. Bunch of them are honestly holding to the "short term pain, long term greatness" cope.
