Let’s face it folks – if you’ve gotta live in a country going through chaos, you might as well have a bit of fun on the way down. One of the few things that perks me up each morning is seeing headlines like “Trump Supporters Worried About Losing Their Federal Jobs” or “Republican Voters Worried They Might Not Get Their Social Security Checks”. Well folks, when Trump was promising chaos in the run-up to the election, this is what he was talking about. All these federal departments getting turned over and eviscerated is exactly what he said he’d do. Supposedly, this is what you all wanted!
If you’re a multi-millionaire and you voted for Trump, I get it. It seems like a really good idea. If you’re working class, or even crazier, dependent on government aid, and you voted for Trump, holy crap… you were swindled.
I hope eventually our country gets back on the track to being sane. It’s a shame that it’s much, much, much easier to tear down things than it is to create them. I look forward to the mid-terms and I hope the Democrats get their heads out of their asses, because we could really use the help. In the meantime, I’ll be drinking up all those delicious “Trump supporter tears” and not feeling bad at all.
“I look forward to the mid-terms and I hope the Democrats get their heads out of their asses, because we could really use the help.”
I have no faith whatsoever that they’re going to win anything. The political persecution will be in full swing before hand and we’ll be having article after article of “xyz Democrat being investigated for (insert excuse here)”
It’s going to be Hillarys emails all over again except this time there won’t even be a grain of truth behind it. I’m honestly expecting a “red wave”
Liberals drinking up ‘Trump supporter tears’ is why democrats can’t be trusted with class solidarity. All the liberals still crying about trump winning will never acknowledge their own party’s role in getting him elected. The DNC doesnt have their heads up their asses, this is who they are, enablers of right wing fascism.
the schadenfreude from the leopards ate my face too people is only muted by the fact our faces are also being eaten at present, with Trump causing, Republican enabling, global economic depression, martial law, civil war, nuclear winter, famine, and death that seem to be right around the corner now
Seeing all these Kamalama-ding-dong supporters bitch and moan and gnash their teeth is somewhat satisfying, because the shit-asses of the DNC are what got us this orange buffoon in the first place. How fucking bad does a candidate have to be to lose to a fucking cartoon character like Trump? Ask Hillary. I feel a little schadenfreud, but then I think of the Alice in Chains lyric: You think it’s funny, well/ You’re drowning in it too.
This is such dumbass logic
Nice argument. I scored in the 98 %ile on the CTMM, how did you do?
What tf is “the CTMM” I think you should take…another test
Look it up, you silly little bundle of twigs.
No, I am actually just saddened by it. I know people voted for him and it’s easy to say they deserved it, but the misery caused by his politics goes so profoundly deep into a society that already have so many people struggling, that I just find it depressing.
Sadly I only get Schaden, but no Freude from the news😮💨
Even if we can shake trump and the maga party and head back towards the road to normality. We aren’t going to get rid of musk and other like minded billionaires from interfering with politics for a long, long time. At least not using legal means.
There is another way.
No. It makes me relieved that I am not an American. Most Americans did not vote for Trump, so I just feel sorry and genuinely worried for the majority of Americans who now have to put up with the outcome of a vocal minority’s votes for the next 4 years. People are already dying over this which is very upsetting.
You’re not afraid enough. WW3 is coming.
Why do you get multi-millionaires voting for a president who doesn’t help them? What the fuck is a rich person gonna do with more money? Throw it in their internal misery furnace? And in exchange for the nothing this gets them…their neighbors know the rich neighbor got the money by stealing it from them so they all want him dead?
If I was rich and out to help myself I sure as shit wouldn’t vote for nazis.
As for the rest, I like that you can appreciate the little perverse joys while keeping them small, because small is what they are.
Why do you get multi-millionaires voting for a president who doesn’t help them?
Who does NOT help them? Have you seen the proposed tax cuts? If you’re in those upper tax brackets with the amount of money you’d save it’s probably hard NOT to vote for him. The rich are just about the only group Trump does care about.
LOL, no.
I want the US to succeed. I don’t give a fuck who’s in charge, and it’s exceedingly silly to me to watch people saying “I told you so” in this political climate, when the Democrats saw their coalition shrink considerably and you all need to find a way to get those votes back. You should have MORE empathy now, not less, even if only out of self-interest.
I don’t see the Dems doing shit about anything, though. Do they really want them back? If so, where’s the plan?
A little, but in the opposite way from what OP is describing.
I saw a second Trump term coming from a mile away. Not because I had any insider insight, but because I would have been genuinely amazed if he didn’t win and I place the majority of the blame for his victory on the left. They had four years to course-correct, but instead, they doubled down on the very things that made them lose the first time. So even though I didn’t want him to win, I can at least take some satisfaction in the fact that the people responsible for it are now pissed and got exactly what was coming to them. Their refusal to give an inch made them lose everything.
Grand visions of a utopian future are meaningless if you can’t even win an election. Trump’s ad campaign summed up perfectly where the left went wrong: “Kamala is for they/them - Trump is for you.”
“Kamala is for they/them - Trump is for you.”
Okay screw Trump and all that but this is good.
This is the exact same line of thinking trumpets have…
Where they’re fine the country is being destroyed because it hurts people they don’t like.
The wealthy are spending a shit ton of money to ensure that’s the line of thinking of most Americans, they won’t the majority fractured and focused on hurting each other so we don’t unite and fight the wealthy.
I 100% get what you’re feeling, but it’s what the people who are really the problem want us to think.
I’m also pretty sure your post is getting removed
I’m also pretty sure your post is getting removed
For what?
You’re less asking a real question and more asking a rhetorical question and then going on a spiel about it.
It might stay up. But lots of posts like this (especially political ones) seem to get removed.
The question isn’t rhetorical. I want to know if I’m the only one getting a chuckle out of the really horrible headlines each day. This is a new phenomenon for me and I want to know if others are feeling the same thing. Politics aside, you’d have to admit the USA is a bit more chaotic than years past right now, and that’s not some kind of liberal spin – it’s true.
Cool bro, was just a heads up, you don’t need to convince me.
Oh alright, I thought you were like ringing a bell and saying “WE NEED A MODERATOR HERE!”
I don’t know if this is relevant, but I and many others feel basically this way about Americans as a whole. Gonna be laughing at (or at least not crying too much for) y’all as we’re all drafted into WWIII.
As a US citizen this is deeply relevant.
Our government has been swinging its dick around worldwide for decades absolutely fucking shit up while American citizens blithely move along in ignorance while it’s all happening and claiming we spread “freedom” and “democracy” when we have never done any such thing. We, through our government, have used Economic Shock Treatment to dominate and control.
It’s literally not the rest of the world’s job to separate us into “good Americans” versus “bad Americans.” The Ugly American never left.
Everything happening here will have knock-on effects for the rest of the world. It’s up to us to clean up our own damn mess.
I am waiting for US refugees to be shocked at how few countries will want to take us in. They don’t have the time, money, or willingness to sort through the refugees only looking for the good ones.
Especially because the first people to demand to be helped in this country are always the ones who voted to not get help to begin with. They vote against their own needs endlessly and nobody wants to risk bringing in such selfish unstable people. Easier to just say “No American refugees accepted” since the Trumpers will literally be the first to run away because they can’t face reality or accept their own responsibility in the current reality. They are always the first to run from the consequences of their own actions. Facing what they’ve done would make them reckon with the idea that they’re not a good person, and that kind of self-reflection would cause Ego Death in them, so they avoid it at all costs.
I think it’s difficult to avoid feeling that way. Part of me feels bad about it because I know the other side would be laughing their asses off if we were the ones feeling betrayed. But now is not the time to gloat, there’s too much we have to do to fight this as best we can.
