“There’ll be people that they’ll DM me like, ‘You see what your boy’s doing? You voted for this.’ I’m like, ‘I voted for none of this,’” he said. “He’s doing the exact opposite of everything I voted for. I want him to stop the wars—he’s funding them. I want him to shrink spending, reduce the budget—he’s increasing it.”

No, buddy. You DID vote for this. You absolutely voted for ALL of this because everything Trump is doing now, he promised, and campaigned on. And you yourself noted he’s a Lying Liar that Lies. So you absofuckinglutely voted for all of what’s going on right now.

“When you feel like the status quo will do nothing and change nothing, you have way more of a longer leash for the outsiders’ ideas than you do the status quo’s ideas,” he said. “And I think that was the idea with Trump, who’s like, ‘Maybe he will stop these wars.’ No. ‘Maybe we will see what’s up with this Epstein s–t.’ No.”

Take it from somebody who grew up as the Shitgibbon did. He used you. Just like he’s used everyone else. You thought he’d expose himself as being a kiddy-diddler? Take the legal risk of being jailed, losing his whole Teflon schtick? Fuck no, that’s for the LITTLE people. Like you!!! And maybe you can wrap your head around this little fact. All politicians have their issues, mainly because the guy you pick is opposed by everyone else who wants the pie all to their own. But Trump is worse than most!

    “I’m incredibly selfish and stupid, and because of that, I didn’t realize what I was voting for.” FTFY

    Funny how the deciding factor for Trump supporters is not knowing anything about what he would do once in office.

    Like, for fucking real, nothing they’ve done has surprised progressives. We all knew this would happen.

    We already had him in office for four years and it was a disaster. So what do these stupid fuckers do? VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN. I get the cultists who worship him doing that, they’re thoroughly brainwashed, but there is NO excuse for anyone else to be surprised by this shit.

      I mean, he did tell them that he would only deport the baddies, or not cut Medicaid, or release the Epstein docs, or end wars instantly, or have 60 deals in 60 days, etc etc etc.

      He lies and he’s famously good at getting certain people to believe his lies.

    Well, you did actually. You just decided to ignore what everyone was warning you about and call it “fear mongering.” People have been warning you since July of last year and you specifically chose to ignore it.

        Since June 2015 that’s when he declared his first run for president. Anyone who knew anything about him could have told you what was going to happen. We had decades of info on his racist scamming ways.

      I voted dem and am anti Trump, but can I ask if you feel the same way about Dems? If I voted for Harris and she continued to provide aid to Israel to bomb Gaza, did I technically vote for that?

      This comes of as very “just asking questions”, and I’m aware of that, but I hope you will take it as a good faith question because it is.

        As a person that voted for Harris. Yes. And we should be putting pressure on her to condition any aid to Israel.

        Meanwhile, with trump, we’re too busy trying to keep all of our water reserves for crops from being dumped, and trying to keep US residents from being sent to extra-national slave torture prisons without due process to even think about having time to mount meaningful protests for what is happening in Gaza.

            They risked everything, and then played to lose. I blame them equally to trump supporters, if not a bit more since they clearly aren’t a bunch of brain damaged adult-age children like trump supporters are.

    The fuck, was this guy an idiot?

    “Maybe he will stop these wars.” Fucking LOL, are you kidding me? He was literally campaigning on glassing Gaza and turning it into beachfront property for the wealthy. “Maybe we’ll see what’s up with this Epstein shit”. The man was neck deep in Epstein shit. How many pictures of Trump and Epstein together over the years do you need? He’s probably got more pictures of him with Epstein than he has of his own kids. “Seeing what’s up with this Epstein shit” would mean him finding a nice new home on the sex offender registry.

    You knew what he was like. You spent the entire election season stumping for him on your podcast. You helped create this. You don’t get to play dumb and absolve yourself of responsibility for your role in allowing all of this to happen in the first place. Fuck you.

      Deep down, I think this guy knows all those reasons are bullshit, too. But he uses them because he doesn’t want to publicly admit the real reason – he would never vote for anyone with a vagina.

        I don’t know this particular asshole, but IME, the racism is typically more important than the misogyny for MAGA-types (but it’s a pretty tight race)

            Good point. And we did manage to elect a Black man by a veritable landslide (twice). Maybe it’s just anecdotal evidence or the particular flavor of MAGA in my area.

    Don’t worry, by the time the next election comes along he’ll be back in the GOP’s good graces, because there’s no way he’d vote for a liberal

    So the whole world is suffering, because he wilfully ignored every indicator that Trump would absolutely behave this way.

    With any luck, someone who matters to him will be scooped by ICE. That way, he can also experience the intense fear and anxiety that comes from voting enthusiastically for tyranny.

    Welcome these people with open arms. These are people that can be swayed and if you care about defeating fascism you should be interested in swaying them. You might enjoy dunking on them (which is fine) just as long as you’re not actively pushing them away.

      The easiest way is to enlist their involvement in dunking on the actual politicians, officials, and policymakers. A fascist movement relies heavily on a reluctant populace complying in advance, which is why little pieces of resistance can be effective against fascists. Humor, sarcasm, and outright mockery of the people giving the flimsy orders diminishes their power by persuading the public that there won’t be consequences for those who ignore those orders.

      It’s not going to be enough by itself, but having the apolitical comedians turn against fascism is still a useful thing to have on our side.

    In Trump’s first campaign commercial back in 2015, he promised to “bomb Iran and take their oil.” That’s a direct quote of Trump’s words that I will never forget because it was so shocking, at the time, for a politician to just say things like that.

    Point is, more war was the first thing he promised. And we all had at least ten years to get wise to his bullshit.
