Selfish people. Its still a me me me attitude, but now she wants everyone else to come and do what she wants to get what she wants.
I'd put money on the fact that if put in a situation where she was asked to help someone else's family first she would say "But what about MY father!?"
Its still a me me me attitude
I don't know why I read that in Italian accent.
Now I'm reading his entire post as Mario
I feel like the solution to this is more Luigi, tbh.
People would be less selfish if they didn’t feel so hopeless.
It's-a me 🤌 me🤌 me 🤌
At least for once one of them actually seems to regret their vote. Fuck her anyway though, they only care when it personally affects them directly. You voted for this to happen to everyone else, turns out that includes you and your family too, so:
We needed that 8 months ago when you knowingly voted against it.
Now YOU want it.
Enjoy those tears, you earned them.
At the same time, extending that hand is what will help. If a person is able to go "omg NOW I get it" and then the door is shut in their face, that will foster even more resentment.
Some people wont change, but those that are willing should be accepted.
Ugh but they suck so bad...
Jokes aside, how can we trust people that have already displayed such selfishness? How can we trust they won't continue to work against the group interest the second their goal is no longer aligned with ours?
Maybe we need to start treating lack of empathy like more of an intellectual / educational problem, rather than a moral failing in like your "soul"? If only just so we can forgive people enough to actually work with them.
I'm spitballin, but I can work with ignorance or even feeblemindedness - you just focus on education or harm reduction. Like maybe they'll never never be able to see outgroups as fully human, but with the right kind of external validations and incentives, maybe they could simulate it.
"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.
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
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.
That's fair.
But it's also fair to call them what they are. Fucking idiots.
All the knowledge in the world is at everyone's fingertips now. It's a choice to be stupid as hell.
I got a typical public education. I'm not dumb enough to vote for Republicans.
She's right about the unity. I know there is some schadenfreud here, but at the end of the day if Trump voyers want to change their minds it's a good thing.
Do they want to change their mind, or are they upset it affected them?
Don’t mistake short term anger for long term change. These people aren’t going to reevaluate their positions in life.
Finally, one that says they wish they made a different choice. Unfortunately, if this didn't happen to someone close to her, she would probably still be for this.
a lot of hispanic voters thought he was only talking about deporting criminals and gangsters… and the spanish language news coverage was entirely different….
i see it as: victim of conman realizes it in the hardest way possible.
you know who’s really welcoming to converts? the right.
leftists seem to tend towards, “you fucked up once, so fuck you forever”… we need to invite growth.
but the “looks like an illegal” race is getting fucked over hard… they just effectively killed her father… it’s not that funny.
i like seeing hardcore magas who lost their farm when their workforce was deported….
They'll vote the same way at the first opportunity
They'll perform some shitty mental gymnastics to justify it, but they'll do it
You got exactly what you wanted, Honey. Enjoy your MAGA world.
This is so unnecessary. All she has to do is quit being such a cheapskate, and buy a pardon for a few million bucks. It's really as simple as that. For $5 million he can even have a special gold HitlerPig citizenship card.
Her vote says she didn't give a fuck about anybody else's father, so why should anybody else give a fuck about hers?
"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?
Can anyone explain how people with undocumented immigrants in their family were tricked into voting for trump? Makes zero sense to me.
Morons, they are morons.
I wouldn't rule that out, but I also wouldn't jump straight to that conclusion. Spanish news media in this country is beyond screwed, it skews even more right-wing as a rule than English mainstream media, in my opinion. During the 2020 election, I would watch the news on Univision with my mother-in-law sometimes, and would see them just not translate something a democrat said in English that didn't fit their agenda, misrepresent what they said in the translation, or selectively omit things they said to make their remarks sound much more sinister and authoritarian than what they actually said. They were also constantly pushing right-wing conspiracies that had been debunked weeks or months prior, with no mention of their having been disproven.
I would constantly have my mother-in-law coming to me asking about these old ass conspiracies, because with her only knowing Spanish, that would be the first time she heard of them, and she was shocked we weren't freaking out about it.
More leaning to the morons side, despite how Fox likes to portray immigrants as a monolithic group of rabid socialist and commies backing the Dems so they can destroy the constitution and get gulags up and running, a lot of immigrants from Latin America, Africa and the Caribbean have been fairly conservative, in my experience. A lot of them grew up heavily propagandized by right wing regimes in their home countries, many are much more religious than your average American by birth, and others have had negative experiences with nominally left-wing regimes in their home country that they can't get over. The last one can be kind of understandable, but the other two drive me crazy.
I read somewhere that none of Trump's talk of mass, indiscriminate deportation was translated, like in their Spanish language ads. All of the Spanish language ads were supposedly geared towards "nooooo lmao we're only going to deport violent criminals and drug lords!"
I fucking despise people like this
They're fine with hurting people, so long as they're not hurt themselves
"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"
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Nah. Good luck with that though, dipshit.
Damn, that's more sad than funny, even though Trump voters are either stupid, or evil and knew exactly what would happen.
Actually, that time was before the election, but you all let a lying traitorous basterd fool you all into believing he was on "your" side. Have the day you voted for!
Really wish this sort of regret were more common. Approval ratings are holding steady
It is baffling how anyone couldn’t see this shit show coming. I constantly feel like I’m the subject of a long running prank.
Congratulations. You got what you voted for. I seriously hope you learned that lesson.
Cry for all the people you helped fuck over by voting for that shit.
I have sympathy for her and people in similar situations and take issue with any suggestion that they deserves this. But I also can't help but feel her plea for unity is disingenuous and hypocritical. It's great that she's seemingly on board with unity against fascism now but going forward I don't trust she or people like her will have anybody's back but their own.
