No he isn't. They're all fucking thrilled. Where are y'all getting this shit? Trump voters are tap dancing right now.

[–] Spezi@feddit.org 66 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There are some stories of trump voters that had their immigrant wifes deported and they are totally shocked, because “shes one of the good ones”

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 48 points 4 months ago

Sad thing is, they'd probably try to vote him in a third time anyway.

I saw a news story from conservative women who have government jobs that are now realizing DEI means women too, not just black . Not saying they’re rational but they’re out there

There’s also teachers who voted for Trump that are surprised he’s going to dismantle the department of education and freeze the federal funding they depend on.

One of the ones in my office openly said there are three words he thinks need to come back “the r-word, the f-word, and you know the other one”. They are emboldened and giddy

Like 60% of the male Latino vote went to trump, and I've seen Trump support shirts among those rounded up by ICE, so some of them are in the Find Out phase.

There's also the idiot Arabic groups that helped get Trump in power by demonizing Harris then are all shocked Pikachu when Trump turned out to be exponentially worse.

all the people who refused to vote for kamala must be so pleased with how little palestinian genocide is about to happen. aren't they? well? aren't they?

no?

gee it sure sounds like their whole little plan backfired in the worst possible way come to think of it, ACTUALLY.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 42 points 4 months ago (5 children)

It's almost like it could have been easily predicted

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 4 months ago

If only people had been talking about exactly what happened for months leading up to the election, maybe it would have gone differently.......

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Yep. As soon as I heard her stance on Israel, I got a sinking feeling. There was such hope and enthusiasm at first, but she just had to pander to AIPAC.

Dawg, the democratic party failed to energize it's base by running a center right campaign with a platform of strong boarders, a strong military, and tax cuts. Them failing to get enough votes is there fault for trying to beat voters with the cudgel of trump while offering nothing to most working families. I voted for Kamala, and even I recognize this. I am really tired of seeing a comment like this every time there's a post about trump. The election is over. Rhetoric like this only divides the left further.

This is what they voted for and it's what everyone who didn't vote, voted for.

Just because you're single issue doesn't mean the politicians are.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Like, people had been screaming at these single issue voter to not do it, yet they did it, everyone is fucked, and they pretend they didn't do it.

I wouldn't be this annoyed if it's some small country but this is US, their policy affect the world. What worst is melon husk trying the same trick on other country as well.

Maybe, MAYBE in his first term they could pull this “oh no we were fooled” crap but not on his second term.

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

We have a saying in Texas: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on...wait...how does it go again?

If they suffer any consequences from their vote, they'll likely just blame Democrats, or immigrants, or trans people, or [insert scapegoat of the week here].

as I have gotten older, the more and more I realize that the story of 1984 isn't really a warning for the general masses but more of a warning to those people that are easily manipulated. The two main characters are so compliant in their suffering.

I see posts like this every now and then, but I'm not convinced this is happening on any real scale. In fact, most pro-Trumpers I've encountered have been making excuses for every shady thing he's done since taking office as "getting America back on track"

[–] houstoneulers@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

People that say trump supporters are regretting his election really don't get trump supporters. A HUGE portion of them voted for trump b/c it hurts their opponents. They don't care how it hurts them just as long as it hurts their opponents.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

If there were a hundred thousand articles pushed out for a hundred thousand individuals that still leaves 73 million or whatever willing enablers.

[–] branno@lemm.ee 39 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This is all exactly what I expected from a second Trump presidency and is exactly what I voted against.

They pre-announced all of this shit with Project 2025.

[–] ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

I haven't heard any of them say this isn't what I voted for. Sadly it's exactly what most of them want. They don't give a shit if democracy is lost.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 38 points 4 months ago (5 children)

There’s a big thread on /r/conservative right now circle jerking about how not concerned they all are and how it’s exactly what they voted for. Sure buddy, come back and say that when something shitty Trump does affects YOU which it certainly will.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 months ago (4 children)
[–] makyo@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

Yeah it's definitely something people do when they really believe everything is okay

Reminds me of the joy when watching interviews with people on the British/Irish border, when they learned they now have to buy their groceries 30 mins further than they were used to. They also said: "we didn't vote for this". What do people expect to happen when they vote for something?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago (4 children)

It's weird to see billions of dollars and thousands of media-hours invested into a massive industrial scale propaganda engine. And then, after all of that time and money and manpower, we get a "I can't believe you fell for it".

This is regardless of who wins. I remember conservatives smugly insisting their debt-sunk kids and grandkids were idiots for supporting Biden. I remember smug liberals pointing to the shoddy fly-by-night wall building operation on the border and insisting "You fucking idiot border conservatives got what you paid for." I remember conservatives, in turn, laughing at all the liberals who thought Obama would bring about universal health care and climate change reforms and high speed rail.

Every fucking cycle we get this smug "Haha, you idiots fell for it."

Where are people seeing these stories? I’m not trying to deny their existence at all, I’m just curious where they are?

I’m a huge fan of irony.

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 16 points 4 months ago (3 children)

The poster points to this as an example: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/06/trump-arab-americans-dearborn-michigan-00203018

People are apparently surprised that Bibi’s best friend is anti Palestine. Who could’ve known?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago (2 children)

but if you vote lazy biden it's gEnOcIdE!!1!

That was a tiring time.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

And they'd vote for him again no matter.

Enjoy a moment of schadenfreude... Sure, but understand that it changes nothing.

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Seriously. It's been 10 years of Trump BS antics in the news. If anyone is surprised I have have an oil to sell them that will cure that.

"Oh, then this isn't what I thought I voted for."

It's exactly what you thought you voted for. (They wouldn't admit that they're wrong though)

I do not believe in a self reflective Trump supporter. And that says nothing of him fulfilling his promises, many of them tuning out for the ones that they don't like

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

They said that last time too, 75 million people still decided "You know what, at least it's not a liberal black woman". Or something about Gaza. At least it wasn't buttery males this time.
