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.
Imagine thinking you are the victim because you supported trump.
Imagine voting for quite possibly the biggest conman in the 21st century and get surprised when he pulls the rug out from under them.

How does this come up as enough of an issue at work that your boss takes action on it?
By being a cunt about it every hour of every day with coworkers and customers.
Yeah, you don’t get fired for supporting a political party, you get fired for bringing it up constantly and being an ass.
If you asked my coworkers they wouldn’t know my political views.

Ah, so the same reason christians are "persecuted for their beliefs".
"So are you being persecuted for believing that Jesus was the son of God? No? How about that Jesus sacrificed himself for humanity? Still no? That you should love thy neighbor as you love thyself? Not that either huh?
I wonder what it could be..."
They identify with a political group who's primary recognizable characteristics are publicly wearing an extremely identifiable bright red hat and actively mocking and trolling their perceived opponents even in completely fictitious situations.
It's not much of a leap to say they acted similarly at work and got fired for being an asshole constantly.

I've worked with several people that got fired in the last 8 years who claim it was their politics.
True, they all were hard right republicans with Trump/MAGA bumper stickers.
But they all got fired because of their behavior and misconduct. They are just claiming they lost their job for being Trump supporters because suddenly that means it's not their fault and they were persecuted for beliefs and identify, not something they actually did wrong. Nobody really gave a shit about their politics and bumper stickers. Zero self awareness among this crowd; claim the victim cause of who they were then immediately turn around and spew the most foul rhetoric I've ever heard about LGBT youth.
To vote for this idiot you must be an idiot. Yes, everyone who is ok with trump is idiot.

Being loyal to ANY politician is insane.
+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.

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...
Agreed. I like Bernie and AOC not because I always agree with them but because they both seem to be trying to make things better.

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."
Yeah, describing yourself as a "loyal" politician supporter basically means you'll ignore whatever wrong doing they do and root for your "team".
Being loyal to anyone who doesn't know your name personally is borderline insane.

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

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?

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.
They won't just accept it being swept under the rug.
Lol you say that like magats ever had principles

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

All that happened to him personally, but it took the Epstein files to finally break him? Don't tell me it's not a cult.
Baffling that THIS is their line.
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.

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 learned nothing.

A tenner says this guy is one of those obnoxious pricks who decaled the truck he can barely afford with "Let's Go Brandon" and has a personality that entirely revolves around owning the libs.
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.
How much you want to bet what he calls stalking and harassment was nothing of the sort?

Eat your shit and choke, buddy.
Imagine expecting the guy who had Epstein killed to prevent his name from being revealed to be on the list due to his public 15+ year besties-ship with him, to release the list of pedos known to associate with Epstein

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

Thoughts and Prayers
Maybe.. just maybe people shouldn't worship politicians, or anyone rich/famous to begin with. But what do I know, I'm just a simple person who doesn't want to deport/imprison people for the color of their skin or take Medicaid and food away from the poor.
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.
