Yes. You've been warned repeatedly that you put your trust in a group of lying con men. Now you get to find out about the con and experience that lesson first hand, because apparently that's the only way you learn things, by suffering.
I don’t think they will ever learn
They didn't learn last time, though this time he does seem to be more directly hurting them
This time he doesn't need them anymore; they can't vote for him again.
His plan to still be president in 5 years will be by military coup.
Imagine taking a decade to realize you've been played.
Now imagine being surrounded by people that stupid. All your life.
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
Those who remember history are doomed to watch everyone else repeat it.
Apes don't read philosophy.

....this feels like so many conversations I've had with the bitters and the clingers over the years....except they don't even pretend to be interested in philosophy.
look, all im gonna say. For all my fellow techies out there, anybody with an internet connection, and significant computing resources.
Now would be a VERY funny time to spin up a lot of "concern trolling" bots.
Putins playbook is very clear, cause confusion and disarray, therefore, nobody trusts anything, and you can do whatever you want. Who says we can't engage in a bit of foul play on the republican side as well?
Yes, for magic fucking beans. Now get mad!
He stopped giving his base a second thought the moment the election results were in, when it became Trump First. He has zero fucks to give y'all magats any more now that you've served your purpose, suckas.
I so want to have hope that this time, finally, he'll lose supporters.
I want to.
Unfortunately, we've been through this too many times with things that are far worse and somehow he never seems to lose them, not really, so...eh.
Does it matter? He won't be a candidate again anyway.
Wasn't legal for him to run this time either. Didn't stop him.
I keep saying his inauguration is unconstitutional, but if nobody stops him, it's allowed. I would not be so flippant about the chances of him remaining president beyond his 2 term limit.
This is one of those things I really hope I'm wrong about, but I don't have very much hope left.
Trump is a symptom, not a cause. This disease runs deep.
Yep. To quote Obama about something else, donvict didn't build that. He just walked in and slapped his name on the place. Kind of like "his" buildings.
OF COURSE HE IS! That’s what everyone with an IQ above their jacket size has been telling you! …you ignorant fucks.
Those fat fucks aren't as intelligent as their jacket size lol
It's too late. He doesn't need you anymore.
He entire second term is literally a lame duck term. He doesn't even need to worry about the midterms, its trump first, he doesn't care if republicans lose midterms. He has absolute free reign in the first 2 years, and even if republicans lose, he still can do a lot of executive orders that are valid as long as the courts dont overturn it, which surely the totally unbiased supreme court is gonna act very quickly, and not just delay taking the case, deny any requests of imposing an injunction on the executive order, and defend the executive order's constitutionality.
Bitch. You been sold.
These pro leopard face eating party members don't even realize, they the mark. Hell they ain't even that, they literally cucks to Trump and capitalism. (not kink shaming. Do you) but for conservatives they are just happy to watch the wealthy and powerful. Deep down they know they'll never get to join in.
Good. Too little too late though, suckers.
Yes.
That's his whole thing. In fact he had a book made about it. He'd sell out his family if it made him more money, and I'm not entirely sure he hasn't.
Isn't his former wife buried on a golf course of his for tax break purposes or some shit?
To his supporters: now imagine if you had thought critically about your boy before voting him into office. It's almost like your desires to be both lazy and correct bit you in the ass, since you seem to love taking the words of a conman at face value.
Same to all who said both sides are equally bad
Gawd forbid they listen to any liberals.
🌎👨🚀🔫👨🚀
The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi weapon. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it! Give into your anger!
Be too distracted by infighting to get anything done. Pwease? Pwetty Pwease?
Selling out is the only thing he ever does
They forgot their place. Back in line behind your idiot god, morons.
Duh, this is the broligarchy we are talking about here. Of course they would love to fuck over Americans by flooding the market with cheap indentured servants.
Anyone voting for donvict thinking otherwise is about to find out.
Donvict... this is getting added to my growing list of nicknames
Just heard "Muskrat" the other day. The little joys.
Hahahaha leopards hahahaha faces hahhahahhaHA!!!! It’s really the only thing sustaining me at this point. To stay alive long enough to see maga take it up the bum.
He didn't sell you out as much as he just gave you away. Like trash. Because that's what he thinks of you.
I have trouble not thinking of them the same way.
What "conservative outlet" where? Why not name it and provide a link?

The MAGA voters can go piss in the wind. Hopefully the Orange Mofo does everything he fucking promised and then some.
I hope he stays on brand and achieves nearly nothing. Your wish is a bit too damaging to America and the world economy
Idiots suprised that the idiot they votes for does idiot things
The only thing worse than trump are his supporters who want him to be even shittier.
Leopards Being Fed Faces at this point.
I think the number of Trump supporters who can spell H1B is very few, let alone those that care about it. Maybe some of the grifters are waking up to the fact that they'll never be as "in-group" as they thought, but that's a very small minority.
I see some of these leopard-face-eating stories and think, "Will this be the thing that is awful enough to get my MAGA family to admit they were duped?" No. The answer is always no.
If Donald Trump himself leads the jack boot goon squad who kicks in the door of their trailer and drags them out into the street to be lit on fire while Trump smashes a cheeseburger into his face and laughs at them by name, their last choked, rasping words would be about the evil Demon-crats ruining the nation.
We've got at least four more years of this and I don't have the energy for hope.
Yes. And they will convince themselves that is A-okay just like they've done for the last 8 years
Colour me shocked!
But they’ll elect MAGA again because if there’s anything this election has taught me is that Republican voters have really strong group loyalty, and most undecided voters are low information voters and cannot be trusted to vote in any informed manner.
