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.
I wonder how many of these people will put 2 and 2 together and question every other time Trump used the same blame the dems + shoot the messenger strategy.
It’s almost like he’s a corrupt piece of shit and this is literally his strategy for eve-ry-thing that makes him look bad.
He’s already back to tweeting shit about how Trump’s bday letter to Epstein is fake. So they e learned nothing.
Eat your shit and choke, buddy.
I consider this a win
Meh, doesnt matter. Dude already fucked us, he doesn’t get to feel redeemed because “he saw the light”
Dude is a piece of shit, and moreso now that hes a scab. If he wanted to feel good he shouldve paid attention when it actually mattered. Fuck em
The part that chaps my ass about this is… The damage is already done. Trump can not get voted in again. He’s on his second term, of two max.
So all of this shit is too little too late. You fucked up. You fucked everything up. And now you realize the guy is a piece of shit because he won’t release a list of rich people who are paedophiles and rapists? A list he’s very likely to be on?
This is the line?
Holy shit. Of all the terrible stuff he said he would do, and all of the terrible stuff he actually has done… And you fucks put him in the office again.
And this is the point where you finally stop supporting him?
The damage has been done, yes, but we can stop further damage. If MAGA finally turns on him for being a prolific pedo, we can roll the clock back on some of this stuff. I’m afraid they’re going to have to catch him live with his dick in a minor for his base to believe it, though.
A-fucking-men. These people need to know that just because the scales have fallen from their eyes, we will not be welcoming them back to the ranks of civilized society anytime soon. They may be pissed about this, but we’ve come down a long road of atrocities that they either supported or ignored, and they have a LOT to answer for in that regard. Their enthusiastic dismissal of simple human - and American - decency will not be forgotten, and all MAGAs have a long way to go to redeem themselves, which in many cases will be impossible.
Honestly, I’m a bit relieved at the current situation, because I wasn’t nearly as certain he was done. With incidents like January 6th, all the claims of voter fraud, his clear abuse of systems like presidential pardons and executive orders, I really thought Trump had a genuine chance of overturning the 2-term limit and twisting the US into a bona fide dictatorship.
I’m relieved to see his astounding incompetence finally reaping results in his polling numbers again and again, because it’s breaking the spell he seemed to have over half the country. Hell, it’s even breaking the allure of fascism in the elections of other countries at this point. His gross incompetence during this presidency is single-handedly moving the whole world a little more to the left.
You overestimate his supporters long term memory. You’re still only 6 months in, still 3.5 years left to go. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

Realistically speaking, whatever chance he has had never lied with a legal election result. He was going to have to go against the constitution in a pretty blatant way anyway. So if he ever had a shot at it, he still does. Popular support no longer matters that much one way or the other, either he’s out in 2028 because he follows the rules of the democracy no matter how popular he is, or he just carries on against the constitution, which doesn’t need popular support anyway.
Still room for him to be melodramatic about something or another and declare a bogus national crisis that requires suspending elections and such. He’s declared everything an emergency to claim he has various authority, he doesn’t have to stop short of the elections themselves.
Who would have thought the way to make the world better would be to elect the worst of the republicans, not that other republicans are much better.
First of, Trump is not a Republican. He is Trump. Secondly, Trump has had since his first mandate a nefarious effect in politics worldwide, and he is in part why the far-right and nationalistic movements across the globe, are also rising, through the spread of misinformation on the Internet, that transcend US borders. While I was very well aware that there was a thing like anti-vaxxers in the US, that was never a problem here in Europe, and the rise of misinformation, with the pandemic, and with Trump and the MAGA movement, that became a thing now here, along with other conspiracies on Facebook, like the “Moon landing being a staged hoax”. Retired boomers, that have nothing better to do all day, gobble up that shit as if it is ambrosia!
Only by turning super-fascist can the voters get the Dems to shift left of fascist-lite
What’s stopping him from doing a Nayib Bukele and sending the National Guard to Congress to force through legislation?
At least he has a bottom line, and might think a little more critical next time, maybe. Some people just close their eyes and chant the propaganda.
Why can’t you people practice basic discernment?
This is in no way real.
What makes you say that? Before I posted I checked the guy’s post history and he seems legit.
Edit: A few sample posts going back a few weeks
But it’s verified! /s
I googled this guy to see if this story was in any way significant, and his other posts are so Poe’s Law batshit that I have no idea which of them are serious and which aren’t.
Sums up most of MAGA. At this point there are so many conflicting narratives that these people literally have no idea what to believe. They lack the ability to fact check anything or think critically. So in the absence of critical thought, they do the only thing they know which is to parrot the party line and try to fit in with their other MAGAts.
Best guess would probably be all of them.
Hitler did away with the SA, you think Trump is going to worry about some disappointed magas?
If I could ask these absolute pickle-brained weirdos one thing: “What else do you think he’s lied about?”
This guy is a FAKE LIBRUL MAGA FBI INFILITRATOR! REAL MAGAS SUPPORT Jeffrey Epstein and his Best Friend Donold Trump!
I can accept that folks who support the orange menace may cease supporting him. However, these kinds of posts are all but impossible to substantiate. Not sure how many people could actually be behind the guy at this point.
Baffling that THIS is their line.
All the other bad stuff is generally stuff they wanted. They wanted authoritarian punishment of “others”, minorities and news outlets that were telling them things they didn’t want to hear. They were true believers that government regulation was incompetent and that the companies would self-regulate more effectively because capitalism would, somehow, punish them otherwise. The general grift and corruption may not have been desired, but they accepted rich people do rich stuff.
But here we have a cause that Trump’s team jumped in and cheered with these guys, and ultimately they turn around and call them fools for believing in the very same cause that folks including Donald himself said had merit.
This combined with the medicaid cuts (even as many of them were benefitting, most assumed cuts would punish some nebulous “unworthy” benefits making the system better for them) and all sorts of other austerity to… generally get no new tax cuts. The downsides are starting to hit and the logical tradeoff upsides are nowhere to be seen.
Not that surprising. Republicans have been painting Democrats as Satanist baby killers for decades. Republicans have also been campaigning on the lie that the Epstein list is all Democrats, Woke Hollywood, and Silicon Valley Tech Bros. To the average brainwashed minion, there is zero reason to hide the client list. They want their righteous lynchings.
Also note that Trump has campaigned on “draining the swamp” a lot, and now people realize that he himself is the swamp that he rallied against.
Swamps are great. They’re havens of biodiversity. Trump is the logging machine from Ferngully, and Stephen Miller is Hexus.

i know right? in my next life there’s a 50% chance that i’ll be an insect living by a swamp
I spent a week kayaking in a burning swamp full of alligators, and I can honestly say it was the best time of my life.
Shout-out to Stephen C Foster state park in GA.
I suspect that possibly, it’s actually not about the Epstein files but about the BBB.
Notice that it’s probably not a coincidence that this drama broke out 1 week after Trump signed the BBB on July 4, which is gonna put millions of people of Medicaid.
Also notice that a lot of conservatives are probably pissed off about Medicaid but realize that it’s difficult to move their fellow people to care about this, as the point of not giving “free handouts” has been enforced too much. Instead, they focus on Epstein as it’s a moralizing drama, that people get very emotional about rather easily.
Republicans went hard on the conspiracy crowd for support. QAnon, antivax etc. /r/conspiracy became a conservative propaganda group. A lot of the diehard Trump people are very invested in this narrative.
It’s going to be difficult for the party to say, “oh yea, that thing we’ve been feeding into for years, please stop immediately” and have people listen. Some are going to go along, but a lot won’t. It’s become their identity.

This is where RFKs support came from.
This is their OUT. Many of them know they’re idiots but are too proud to say they are wrong.
So when he got elected the FIRST time. He got elected twice so far don’t forget that, i was 100% convinced that people can not be this stupid and when they realize how vile and stupid he is, they suddenly just cut all ties and are gonna pretend they never voted for him and only idiots did. But no, they doubled, tripled and quadrupled down so often that i think americans are just build different and they actually don’t need a way out.
So many leopards eating faces. This is a cult of idiots, the only thing that seems to be pulling them out of the spell is this scandal that would make Watergate pale.
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.
Some of them, anyways.
Yuup, there are plenty that would believe him if he said he was Jesus. The ones that seemingly have no breaking point.
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.
I’ve never heard of people harassing a Trump supporter unless the Trumpet was baiting them.
Key feature for republicans is that they are persecuted at every turn. Just like Jesus!
“My neighbor is gay. He has a rainbow flag on his car, and sometimes his boyfriend visits him. Help, I’m so persecuted!”
