I seriously don’t fucking get this people. Everybody with a brain cell count higher than 2 said : Trump is in cahoots with Epstein. Now they vote for him, reality smack their butts and I should have empathy for them ? You literally vote for your rapist !
Most people just aren't interested in politics.
“Trump ran his whole freakin’ election on the release of these freakin’ files,” she said. “And it sparked it back all up again, gave us hope, gave me hope at least.
Even this statement is completely false.
This person somehow convinced themselves that this was a key policy of Trumps when it was barely a footnote.
Why the fuck would you vote for the pedo-in-chief as a survivor of Epstein?
That’s like a Jew voting for hitler
"Hitler didn't put me in the gas chamber!"
Believe it or not, there were actually several notable “Jews for Hitler” types of movements in Germany. They were conservative Jews who supported Hitler’s conservative views more than they feared his antisemitism. They hand-waved away the antisemitism, believing that it was over-exaggerated to garner votes.
People are dumb, and many will naturally want to believe that persecution is something that happens to immoral people. If someone is being persecuted, it’s obviously because they did something to deserve it. It can’t happen to me, because I am moral and have done nothing to deserve it! Because if I accept that persecution can happen to moral people, then that would conflict with my established worldview that the world is inherently just. I am successful, and therefore I am just. And unjust things don’t happen to just people. Because accepting that the world is unjust means accepting that things like disasters, disabilities, diseases, and systemic persecution could happen to me. And that is scary, so I choose to reject that possibility and insist that the world is inherently just!
Hitler was a Zionist, a lot of Jews supported that
They deported a lot of Jews to what is now Israel
In 2020? Okay maybe. 2024? C'mon now, It was well established Don was palling around with Epstein. No excuse there.
Imagine voting for your rapist's best friend.
Tell me youre really fucking stupid without telling me you're really fucking stupid.
Let me be clear, she was a victim and deserves justice.
Also he was BFFs with Trump, why the ever loving fuck would you expect him to seek justice?!
Fuck around and get fucked, sometimes literally
Epstein survivor who voted for Trump
What in the ever living fuck
Chicken orders McNuggets
Vote for abuser
This is the level of dumb of every Republican follower.
Epstein survivor who voted for Trump
Uh...wut?
Should’ve posted this under leopardsatmyface
Already posted there
Her visit to the island certainly didn’t make her smarter
She did an interview on Soft White Underbelly. I’m pretty sure she never went to the island, she supposedly didn’t even entirely realize how many other victims there were.
That said I still picked up her vote from the interview. Not justifying it, but it felt to me like her anger at the situation was among the greatest motivations
No shit you dumb fuck. You wanted Epstein's buddy boi, he's gonna act like Epstein's buddy boi.
You know what? Go to end of the justice line. You get yours after everybody else, if there's any left over.
Didn't it come out that she was actually a recruiter for Trump/Epstein's trafficking operation but is playing victim?
You won't get justice. You'll get "justice."
This article is from the Onion?
Republican feeling voters remorse - lemmy blames voter
Democrat sitout feeling nonvoters remorse - lemmy blames democratic party.
Wtf
Having voter's remorse in 2017 is reasonable and justified. Voting for Trump in 2024 means that you are a very bad person. That's the difference.
Also, people blame the Republican party all the time, including in this instance.
Also, people blame nonvoters all the time.
Also, more than one kind of person exists on Lemmy. You wouldn't say "IRL blames democratic party" because that sentence makes no sense. The same is true for what you just wrote.
TL;DR: you couldn't be more wrong than you are.
Proof that rape lowers IQ
/s
I agree with her. Her countrymen don’t care, as long as no harm comes to them they don’t care what happens to the people around them.
Funny how most of the decent ones are those the rest have abused and left abandoned like this.
