Cry for all the people you helped fuck over by voting for that shit.
So now that she’s personally affected by it she wants change lol. But trans people are illegal now so deep down it was still worth it to her.
"don't shoot yourself in the foot"
"Shoot yourself in the foot to Make America Great Again!"
"I'm telling you man, you shouldn't shoot yourself in the foot"
Shoots themself in the foot
"WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH"
"Told you so"
No. We said the same thing for the last 8 years, and people like you thumbed your nose at us like little children. Consequences of your actions.
tbf these people have been misled by tons of lies and propaganda by the republican party
I think that there's been more than enough time for these people to look into the man they're supporting, definitely more than enough to sift through 'fake news'.
See how that seems completely fucking unrealistic to expect from any MAGAt? Lies and propaganda work because the people absorbing it are actually too stupid to determine the truth and need someone to think for them.

If this were the first time Trump was president, then fine, but it fucking ain't.
Sure, and they enjoyed participating in the hateful rhetoric and the discrimination of the outgroup that entire time, made them feel superior, until they found out they were part of the outgroup themselves.
It’s interesting that they’re still unable to see the connection between minority groups. For MAGA there is no difference between trans, Muslim, immigrant. They use the racism minority groups have against each other… and that’s how we got here today.

Lolololololol
Why would anyone show compassion when they can joke about it from positions of extreme privilege? There's even a whole comm for it! smh.
Huh, now that it impacts them they want unity? Why should I trust them to not revert to their selfish ways once they get their way? Anyway
They only want a certain kind of unity, not unity for all. They still think trans people shouldn’t exist.
Empathy is a 'weakness' until they want some for themselves.
Empathy for me, not for thee.
This entire comm is about having no empathy.
I feel sorry for the leopards.
This is why when I see conspiracies on here that Kamala won but trump rigged the election makes me angry. When you say that you're understating that so so so many Latinos and Latina's voted hard for Trump and the Fourth Reich. Because they thought they were protected and everyone else was a useless eater urchin that deserve to be deported. Now they're realizing that MAGA views all non-white and poor immigrants as the useless eater urchins.
And are now paying the price.
Bow down before the one you serve. You're gonna get what you fucking deserve.
Met an Iranian uber driver 5 days ago who admitted to illegally immigrating 10 years ago and for some reason brought up that she’s been pulled over more than 25 times for speeding in her personal car. She also said her full time job was pastor at a Christian church which is why she had to leave Iran. She voted trump. She said he’s good because he’s tough (whatever that means now). I’m convinced that they’re deporting their own base.
You got exactly what you wanted, Honey. Enjoy your MAGA world.
"All his plans were public but I refused to review them. I thought Project 2025 was a joke because I only subscribe to rightwing media."
I'm upset that people are being harmed. I'm not upset that you feel betrayed.
It's hard to feel sorry for people who willingly overlooked the evidence
Just so they could feel good
I have zero sympathy for this kind of shit. The selfish idiot knew and wanted to hurt others through her vote and received a dose of her own fucking medicine.
I can't help but feel bad for her and her family.
And as much as we want to laugh at her, that doesn't help. A lot of people need to see how their mistakes affect them before they get it.
This country needs to be united, and anyone that wants to defect left should be welcomed. Show them the light and how they were lied to and manipulated. Grow our numbers. Teach people compassion.
But if we ostracize her, she'll just end up back into her media sphere and voting against the betterment of this country again.
How much hateful right wing rhetoric do you think she happily enjoyed and shared during her stint as a Trumpist? There is a pretty high chance that it is higher than zero.
You have to understand that transgressing liberal morality is completely unforgivable. Voting is the most important thing! The only thing! No mercy for your dad (depending on if/how he voted). Let the infidels burn in the fires of helll!!!!! \s

Do you not remember how this went the past 15 times it happened in the past 3 decades?
"Welcoming" them back teaches them that their actions have no consequences. Many conservatives entrench and intensify their vile worldviews precisely because they know that their social circles will remain under the justification of "It's just politics". They dial it back when they receive pushback or punishment, and intensify it in time for the next election. Every. Goddamn. Time.
They aren't 'defecting left'. They're sad that they, personally, were harmed; and they will continue to advocate for others to be harmed as soon as their ultra-fucked rationalization of vile behavior either triggers on its own, or is 'guided' by their favorite media or memes.
If she was right in front of me I’d be gentle, say I’m proud of her for realizing the truth even if it was a little late, and try to help at least by making her some tea or something.
But from over here? Bruh I still hope she gets her dad back and shit, and I do feel bad because she’s clearly stupid as all hell so from her perspective this was a sudden and unexpected betrayal, but holy shit I do love these posts. Trump was beyond obviously evil and maintained that very public energy for a decade yet people still gave him the popular vote in 2024. Harris should have been the right-wing candidate but instead the US made her the only option against the super far right.
She deserved this, she helped make this happen. There are only so many times you can beg someone not to drink bleach before you just don’t have the empathy to do anything about it. And I still do, I’ll never let it go completely, but I’m not going to pander to these idiots and make their horrible opinions feel valid.

Nope. Fuck them. They got exactly what they voted for. This is probably one of the few things Trump didn't lie about.

"I regret something that I did but only now it's personally affecting me and my family."
I would like to know how she felt when everyone else was getting kidnapped and deported?
Same as everyone else that voted for trump.
"They're only going after the bad ones."
Immigration is the one issue where he 100% did not lie about what he intended, and therefore, the one issue where I don't feel much sympathy for impacted MAGA voters. You literally did vote for this.
