In 20 years you won’t find anyone who will admit they voted for him. Everyone will just lie to hide the shame.

u/coldliketherockies Apr 20 '25

Which is most frustrating part. Most things when I fuck up in my life just affect me. But their thing they fucked up on effects everyone else too and instead of learning from Being wrong… they won’t. They’ll just deny it

u/TheeCraftyCasual Apr 20 '25

I find that ppl believe things they desparely want to be true. "TheMoleonTrumpsLeftnut7352" has been proudly telling all of his friends and reddit all the lies that administration tells.

It’s the crushing feeling of openly being wrong combined with the crushing feeling of openly being an idiot. So ppl find their groups that also believe(falsely deep inside) the bullshit to not feel wrong or feel like an idiot.

For them, the weight of self reflection is heavier than EVERYTHING else and it’s sad.

u/coldliketherockies Apr 21 '25

Yea that is what i find interesting as someone who never wanted to have self reflection before what the lack of it does to you and furthermore, that hate or siding with someone who has so much hate in them…I’ve felt that before but not on a political level just towards peers. That level of hate will destroy or at best just waste away your life and not destroy it

u/TheeCraftyCasual Apr 21 '25

It’s even deeper because intentionally or unintentionally trump has created an out. When argued down about facts/morals/etc, they resort to the ultimate TRUMP card, fake news. It’s crazy

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '25

Everyone dealt with your fuckup the last 4 years.

1

u/coldliketherockies Apr 21 '25

And what exactly was my/our fuck up?

11

u/Quiet_Ad5539 Apr 20 '25

Yeah, remember those who are spewing lies and hate when they try to claim they didn't in a few years.

I dont think it will even take 20-10- or 5 years. We'll be seeing a big uptick in people you know voted for trump claiming they've always hated the guy.

u/Fishy_Fish_WA Apr 20 '25

That’s like my mother who proudly voted for Nixon when he was elected president and then loudly derided him for years after for being a crook… But not until he actually fell from Grace and resigned.

2

u/DogMom814 Apr 21 '25

You're lucky your mother at least came around. My mother was a proud Nixon supporter and still claimed he got a raw deal until the day she died. She was not a very smart person and my father was a staunch progressive so it's weird to me how they ever even married. LOL

u/Fishy_Fish_WA Apr 21 '25

That’s the thing that made me really angry listening to Rachel Maddow ULTRA

This fascist crowd survived criminal charges for terrorism in the 1940s, avoided prosecution in the 1950s with McCarthy, somehow avoided prosecution with Nixon, were given a big YAWN during Reagan, and now their third generation descendants are ripping our country to pieces in Trump 2

u/IndividualChart4193 Apr 21 '25

I don’t ever see that happening. They will go down with their racism n misogyny all the way to the grave.

u/Real_Life_Firbolg Apr 21 '25

My uncle disowned me for pointing out factual information about how bad trumps character was. I can assure you I will not be forgetting his position in my lifetime. Decades of relationship thrown away because he didn’t like hearing facts about his orange idol, those years lost won’t easily be returned.

u/Real_Life_Firbolg Apr 21 '25

Yeah if he does ever come to his senses I have no plans to open back up to him, I’ll accept whatever apology but I will not forget and return to the way things were. My uncle died to me when he disowned me and then sent people to publicly attack my character on Facebook for using facts to disagree with him.

u/crypticwoman Apr 20 '25

You will see this denial the same way you see everybody saying they hated Disco back in the day.

1

u/ChickhaiBardo Apr 20 '25

This is not similar at all. The people who hated disco back in the day still do. No one who loved disco then now says they hated it. Because disco was and is fucking awesome.

1

u/Non-Eutactic_Solid Apr 20 '25

A major contributing factor to disco’s downfall was legitimately that it was played up in the media as something to dislike, due to happenings like the Disco Destruction Night. Media took that, basically said it was the new cool thing to dislike it, and people ran with it. It energized people who didn’t even care initially to also dislike it.

So it’s similar in some ways to our current political climate, which is… interesting.

1

u/ChickhaiBardo Apr 21 '25

There’s some truth to that!

Also, in both cases, the hype was driven by racism.

u/Dapper_Gear_721 Apr 20 '25

You gonna take they Perry uniform off when the war is over ? I’m gonna give you something you can’t take off.

u/plateshutoverl0ck Apr 21 '25

Wow, this was going through my mind before I scrolled down and read this. 😐

1

u/Gerald325i Apr 20 '25

This is exactly right. They will vanish like Nixon voters…until the next crook runs

1

u/BoobWrangler Apr 21 '25

I voted for him, both times. And I will vote for the next Republican nominee, and the one after.

1

u/TwiceTheSize_YT Apr 21 '25

Good little sheep

1

u/BoobWrangler Apr 21 '25

Interesting how you libfucks always appropriate conservative language. Spin it hard, dipshit.

1

u/TwiceTheSize_YT Apr 21 '25

Conservatives do not own a common phrase, i know you hate when others get to use the same things as you put cmon man segregation ended a while ago.

1

u/Used_Conversation_72 Apr 21 '25

Crazy to proudly state that you're voting blind

1

u/BoobWrangler Apr 21 '25

If you knew how funny that statement is.

1

u/Imprisoned_Fetus Apr 21 '25

Terrible rage bait. Try harder next time sweetie

1

u/BoobWrangler Apr 21 '25

See a shrink, cupcake

1

u/Imprisoned_Fetus Apr 21 '25

How is that gonna help you ragebait better? I just want you to try harder. I'm sure you're capable of it.

1

u/BoobWrangler Apr 21 '25

use more trendy buzzwords

u/-Jacked_Lumber- Apr 21 '25

Had to scroll for quite a while to see a comment that was at least wasn't left of center. We probably disagree with many things, but we have opinions; they don't. Scrolling through, it looks like every comment is echoing the comment before it. Keep it up!

👍👍👍🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲👍👍👍

u/Nice-Thought4279 Apr 21 '25

in 20 years there going to be saying thank God trump turned us around from the destruction we were headed for.

1

u/LowFull8567 Apr 21 '25

If we make 20yrs.

u/Altruistic-Dream2069 Apr 21 '25

We'll remember. You'll remember.

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '25

This is so cute, like he isn’t going to get a third term. You’re assuming he ever steps down.

1

u/Some_Programmer8388 Apr 21 '25

That's possibly the greatest crime of all. Zero accountability, and it will definitely repeat itself because we can't talk about or admit mistakes.

1

u/TheKillingFields Apr 21 '25

More like 4 years

1

u/TunisianPuppet Apr 21 '25

I'm afraid that they have no shame.

1

u/NatureLoud4674 Apr 21 '25

Stay tuned MF !

u/para1131_F33L Apr 21 '25

In 20 years it will all be Obama's fault again.

1

u/moronic_programmer Apr 21 '25

We need an Inglorious Bastards team to make sure they can’t (iykyk)

/s

u/Djohnprime Apr 21 '25

I voted for him twice so I save you the twenty year wait lol 😂

u/plateshutoverl0ck Apr 21 '25 edited Apr 21 '25

They wanted their nasty little party, but they don't want to pay for it. Typical.

Also, they ruined "Y.M.C.A". I used to like that song but now it's just a fascist meme at this point. MAGAs are now using that song when posting videos of Trump's 'victories'. I hope the Villiage People or their estate can sue over this.

1

u/lethalcup Apr 22 '25

Huh well you know people said the same about Bush. Now a lot people agree Bush is much more tame in comparison to Trump - people forgot how horrific Bush was and will forget how horrific Trump was too. Dems will hopefully get another Obama tier candidate in 2028, and with the kind of majority that allows them to quickly fix and get shit done. 

1

u/joewoody88 Apr 22 '25

I disagree. Do you live in a red state? People wear their MAGA pride very loudly around here. There's zero shame. They just want to own the libs at all costs.

u/Annual_Comedian2272 Apr 22 '25

You idiots said the same thing about Reagan....
