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.

Being loyal to ANY politician is insane.

I love Bernie. While I don't agree with him on everything, he's consistently been on the moral right side of most issues. Here he is being arrested for protesting segregation in 1963:

However. If he did even 1% of the things Trump did, I would call him out for it, demand he do better, and support his primary challengers if not. Unconditional loyalty to a politician doesn't keep them in check, and actually harms us all...

+1.

Even if someone wholesome (Mamdani?) somehow took over the Democrats, or any cool party, I would never be "loyal" to them.

Maybe this is my old millennial ass shaking my fist, but I don't get why folks are loyal to influencers. Loyalty should be two way and reciprocal, to friends and family one knows personally, not asymmetrically to someone who makes a living from thousands following them.

Respect and admiration? Fine. But this guy's a poster child for why loyalty is too far. After all, what does Trump think of him?

Seeing “old millennial ass” just seems so wrong.

We’re the young generation, right? We’re like, 25 at most. Right?

I’m 40. Oh my god. I need a Camaro and a broccoli haircut so I can fit in with the hip crowd. Broccoli hair is still a thing right? Haha

Man it goes so fast.

(hehe), sure brother, you're still young. ::cracks open a beer and hands it to you:: have a seat in this lawn chair next to Gen X and tell us about it.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

What’s funny to me is I grew up on gen x music and I remember looking up to those guys so much. They all looked like grown folks to me.

Now when I watch the videos, I see kids. It’s crazy.

This is a relatively new thing for me too.

Trump literally told them that he will not need them after this again. No, he does not want or care for their support!

"In four years, You don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good. You're not going to have to vote."

So we found the cultists breaking point: Something universaly moraly reprehensible that is undeniable in-front of their own eyes, and for him to contradict himself within days.

Yuup, there are plenty that would believe him if he said he was Jesus. The ones that seemingly have no breaking point.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 14 hours ago

There are plenty who would believe him if he came out and said Jesus was a dirty socialist loser and they shouldn't be Christians anymore.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 76 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Know when you get the joke a few minutes after everyone else laughed at it and it's pretty embarrassing?

Imagine being a decade behind the curve.

Too bad they didn't get it before November and locking us in for 4 years.

Anyways, I'm glad all those bad things happened to him.

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

it wasn't even a decade, its been probably 40 years of trump having terrible media coverage

Imagine losing a job and friendships to worship the star of NBC's The Apprentice.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Imagine losing your own family because they chose to do that.

Oh wait, I don't have to, went no contact years ago.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 151 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Imagine thinking you are the victim because you supported trump.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Imagine voting for quite possibly the biggest conman in the 21st century and get surprised when he pulls the rug out from under them.

I've never heard of people harassing a Trump supporter unless the Trumpet was baiting them.

[–] Banzai51@midwest.social 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Key feature for republicans is that they are persecuted at every turn. Just like Jesus!

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

“My neighbor is gay. He has a rainbow flag on his car, and sometimes his boyfriend visits him. Help, I’m so persecuted!”

These people are the reason why our nation's average IQ 98.

[–] ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 8 points 22 hours ago (10 children)

Is this supposed to be an insult? It kind of reads like one, but setting aside any questions of IQs validity, it is laid out such that 100 is average.

So what you’re saying essentially is that the nation's average IQ is average, which is not an insult in my book.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

in agreement with the validity of all your points, but counterpoint: for the supposed greatest nation on earth, an IQ below average is kind of embarassing. doesn't matter how much below - it's below average for the greatest nation. obviously that's a subjective qualification, but imo those are mutually exclusive statements.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 1 points 14 hours ago

Greatest nation shit is embarrassing. IQ test results from different cultures is interesting. Miss me with your embarrassment, first learn what an IQ test is testing

Caring about the Epstein Files, while also voting for Epstein's long time good buddy. Hmm...

He's conditioned to be in an abusive relationship. He'll be back.

This is a cult schism. Epstein is the point of cleavage between the grifters and the grifted. The grifters believe in nothing and would of course accept Trump trying to make the list go away because what they care about is keeping the gravy train going. The grifted, though, really believe in a cabal of powerful people molesting children. And however destructive they have been as a political force, they actually want to end what they think is a terrible ongoing crime. They won't just accept it being swept under the rug.

I think the issue here is they got too close to the truth
