Well that explains why Gen Z women would rather use a vibrator than sleep with them.

Not just Gen Z 😘✊🙂↔️
As a happily married Millenial whose wife and I can't keep our hands off each other.....it's not that fucking hard to not be a piece of shit. These Gen Z men have no one to blame but themselves.
As a vibrator I feel this very personally.
Apologies for my insensitivity. I should have put this post in your language.
Bzzt bzzt bzzzzzzz. Bzzt bzzzzzzz bzzt

If only there were signs 😞
I mean it's not like there was a concrete example of him promising to drain the swamp and shown concrete proof of his results before, how could they have known...
Were talking about people who made a political decision based on The Joe Rogan Effluence
Just something to hint that there might be more to the story than presented....
Not really an excuse but it’s pretty common to be politically naive when you’re young. When Obama was first elected I just figured we’d immediately solve climate change and all get free healthcare and community college. I didn’t really understand how the political system worked.
I imagine many of these people thought the same way. And they may have been too young to really follow things during Trump 1.
So yeah… I wish they had been more savvy but we all gotta learn somehow. I’m willing to forgive if they end up on the right side after this.

My peers are not your rich country club conservatives. They are scrappy guys who liked Trump because he wasn’t polished or predictable. To them, he was a rebel outsider who would fight “the swamp” with all he had. I remember heated lunchroom debates where they’d argue about whether or not he could truly upend our system and its backers.
What a bunch of fucking losers.
"Predictable" is quite literally the one quality you want the leader of the biggest military on the planet to have.

I'm thinking if they saw Trump's record and still voted for him, this isn't gonna be the first time they get duped.
IMHO, people hyper fixated on the first couple years of Trump 1 where the economy was ok, he had experienced government officials putting up guardrails, and he coasting on what past administrations put in place.
They thought Trump’s was blowing bow air and they thought they were going to get 2017 again.
They are not getting 2017.
Weird, they were old enough to remember he didn’t live up to that campaign promise in his first term and just ended up swamping the drain even more. Did they think he was just going to do a total about face on his corruption in his second term?
This was all public knowledge before the election.
But I guess you didn’t hear about that on TikTok and YouTube shorts.

Gen Z "men" voted for Trump because they're racist sexist homophobic pieces of shit like their fathers are.
Duped? Fucking shitbags.
Nobody was duped, bamboozled, tricked, or swindled into voted for Trump.
People knew what Trump was about and chose that.
For real. The photos and videos with and quotes about Epstein, the interviews with Stern talking about walking into changing rooms, grabbing 'em by the pussy, all this existed outside of the Epstein files.
He bankrupted business after business but stayed afloat by being a con-man, and red-state suckers flooded his rallies to juice up on his low IQ rhetoric.
Now he's filling his vault with cryptoscam cash from his idiot base buying memecoins and third-rate junk watches, so that his insipid sons can continue the family business of groping, scamming and conning. Trump has replaced Reagan as the new face of the GOP and they LOVE it, because they get to say how much they hate immigrants out loud.
They're shirking responsibility. It's typical. They gloated the whole way about knowing exactly what they're vote for.
What???
They feel duped? We been knew Trump was in kahoots with him. He's a sexual predator, a liar, and a shitty business man. I feel like saying you've been "duped" shifts blame. You were not duped, you just didn't realize you'd have to suffer with the rest of us, LIKE WE FUCKING TOLD YOU. Admit you made a selfish, shitty decision and do better.
If their only source of media was manosphere podcasts or FOX News, I can absolutely believe they were duped. It still doesn't absolve them of being regessive dumbasses that lack critical thinking skills, though.
Stupid fucking people. You got what you voted for, and your fucked us all over in the process.
There's no reason to believe trump would do anything good. The republican party is just full of bad ideas. What kind of false reality are these people living in?
This is their after the fact justification. You are entirely correct. Anyone with functioning eyeballs and the ability to put two brain cells together knew he wasn't going to drain any fucking swamp or be making any fucking thing better.
2016 Trump voters I will give benefit of the doubt to. If you voted Trump in 2020 you knew what you were getting, and if you voted Trump in 2024 you even had a road map.
There is nothing I want to hear from these apologetic Trump voters besides "Yes, I was some combination of racist, hateful, and ignorant, and now the entire nation is suffering for my bullshit." There is no way they didn't know what they were subjecting the nation to, and I will not pretend that somehow they didn't. Don't want a Trump voter as a friend, and wish I could boot them out of my family. I sure as hell am not going to entertain their fucking platitudes.
Trump declined to release the Epstein files because he said it would falsely incriminate innocent people. But that has left them wondering: Is Trump just the swamp?
YES, FUCKING YES. HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE SWAMP. And the fact that this is the moment where you are wondering this proves my point above. Everything up to now was all good.
This whole turnabout is a personal one for my friends. They didn’t like Trump because he was a Republican; they liked him because he would be a “disrupter in chief.”
TURNABOUT??!! He has been the same person literally the entire time.
OMFG I think I have just realized. The only way out of this is if we all pretend we swallow this bullshit from bashful Trump voters, isn't it?
Look at this shit:
They wonder: Is Trump just a showman who lied to us and deceived us this whole time?
Entirely too credible, too wide eyed. This article and articles like it are just another kind of ruse. One where we all pretend we haven't learned something dark and horrible about 77 million of our fellow citizens, so we can throw them a bone after what they have voted in for all the rest of us. 🤮
Where do they go now? One obvious possibility is to the Democratic Party. But Democratic leaders would need to do more than act like they care about people like my friends. They need to offer a clear, transparent alternative that can successfully brand Democrats as more honest and authentic.
So the problem isn't Trump folks, and it's not Trump voters, either. Republicans? Nah. It's actually Democrats. Huh.

Oh Jesus. The author thinks all this is normal.

The danger of neoliberals is they took money from trump and many just like him, and in return turned the Dem party into a pile of dog shit that didn't actually help anyone that wasn't wealthy
That inevitably ends with the neoliberals middlemen getting cut out, and depressing Dem turnout so much Republicans win.
The voting members of the DNC learned their lesson, they elected a chair with a proven track record of fair primaries and not standing in the way of the party's own voters.
That's why billionaire owned media keeps telling Dem voters to give up on the DNC.
The billionaires are scared of what happens when Dem voters get to pick their own politicians

Bullshit.
They are trying to save face, however they'll still vote for the dregs of humanity next time.
Am Gen Z male and I want nothing to do with this fascist treacherous dipshit.
Maybe its a good thing I didn't make any friends, at least I won't have any of my peers stab me in the back.
Gen Z. Too young to have experienced or lived through the Reagan era lies and the Bush lies along with the courting of right-wing fringe politics, from the religious wingnuts to the Tea Partiers. Let’s give conservatism another go! Surely it’ll work this time.

Gen Z was born 1996-2009, the oldest were 19 years old in 2016 when Trump campaigned to drain the swamp, which famously didnt work.
Only racists and fascists voted for him after 2016. He was surprisingly open about all the terrible things that have happened so far in his second term while on the campaign trail. Although I never listened to his campaign ramblings (nor did a large chunk of his crowd), I didn't see reports about the drain the swamp slogan after the first term.
How did it take them 9 years to feel duped?

Their idea of swamp was just democrats/city folk. They would just never believe that putting in their people would be just as swampy if not worse.
They might not like the Epstein shit but they’re not asking for all those bureaucrats and judges he placed to be removed. They’d still vote for Rubio, or whatever racist corpse gets the next nomination.
Glad they’re free of this particular blindness but they’ve got a long way to go.
Tired of hearing "Demographic Group X did Y" when these analyses fall apart at the state line.
There's no chromosome that explains your vote.
Speak for yourself. I got more chromosomes than any of you motherfuckers.
Also, I don't know why so many dickheads talk about "upending" things. It takes a lot to have large complicated working systems.
Any old asshole (or even something as simple as a virus) can "upend" a system. Why is that a value in itself I will just never understand.
Yeah, no they ain't. They wanted this and they are happy they got this. Everyone is fucking miserable except those pieces of shit.
Hey, if you support a syphilitic pedophile rapist lying grifter, you deserve all the shit he unleashes on you.
I don’t believe that. Anyone dumb enough to vote for trump thinking he would drain the swamp is way too dumb to ever realize he’s been duped.
