I’ve been a loyal Trump supporter since 2016.
I lost a job, friendships, been smeared online, doxxed, and pressed charges on people who’ve stalked and harassed me for supporting him.
If Trump doesn’t want my support, because I care about the Epstein Files, then I’m done.
Bye.
You must log in or # to comment.
Imagine losing a job and friendships to worship the star of NBC’s The Apprentice.
Imagine thinking you are the victim because you supported trump.
Imagine voting for quite possibly the biggest conman in the 21st century and get surprised when he pulls the rug out from under them.
Imagine there’s no heaven
John, hold on, it’s gonna be alright.
To vote for this idiot you must be an idiot. Yes, everyone who is ok with trump is idiot.
Imagine losing your own family because they chose to do that.
Oh wait, I don’t have to, went no contact years ago.
Or a rapist.
Or a felon.
Or?
And!
To be fair he wasn’t the star of the apprentice he’s just the loudest asshole willing to brag about being on a dumb TV show.
And he was never really “the star”. Everyone who watched that show identified him as the villain. They watched to see how creepy and douchey he would be.
This made me think, in an alternate universe, which already semi-famous TV personality from 20ish years ago would the worst segment of a population worship?
That dog whisperer guy?
40 years ago it was Ronald Reagan.
Dog the bounty hunter?
Y’all forgot about Chuck Norris already?
On a random note, like 10 years ago one of my friends in Colorado (where Dog the Bounty Hunter is from) made a post on a forum trash talking Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife.
Shortly as afterwards a signed copy of Dog the Bounty Hunters book appeared on my friend’s doorstep that said something like:
[My friend’s real name] - heard you’re a fan. I’ll catch you next time
I should point out, my friend posted online using a user name and not his real name. It’s possible that he leaked his real name at some point?
A reality star bounty hunter exhibiting stalker behavior towards people he doesn’t like? That honestly makes so much sense. He deserves the shit talking
You’re fired
How does this come up as enough of an issue at work that your boss takes action on it?
They identify with a political group who’s primary recognizable characteristics are publicly wearing an extremely identifiable bright red hat and actively mocking and trolling their perceived opponents even in completely fictitious situations.
It’s not much of a leap to say they acted similarly at work and got fired for being an asshole constantly.

> actively mocking and trolling their perceived opponents even in completely fictitious situations.the fucking irony
They identify with a political group who’s primary recognizable characteristics are publicly wearing an extremely identifiable bright red hat and actively mocking and trolling their perceived opponents even in completely fictitious situations.
This could also apply to a party built entirely around the Limp Bizkit song “Hot Dog,” I believe.
By being a cunt about it every hour of every day with coworkers and customers.
Yeah, you don’t get fired for supporting a political party, you get fired for bringing it up constantly and being an ass.
If you asked my coworkers they wouldn’t know my political views.
Hell, some of my former coworkers didn’t even know I was sentient!
Are you sentient?
Hey, whatever, y’know? At the end of the day, does it even matter?
And some of the people online don’t even know he’s not.
People have called me mysterious before, yes😏
He mentioned doxxing so could be…:
He advocates for Mexican genocide or something, reshares “rapists and drug dealers”, whatever—and his boss/company execs get an emailed screenshot.
Code of conduct says racism bad, he signed it, bye.
(^ pure speculation)
Or because the person you elected has Musk lay you off.
Aka supporting the party that fired you.
Ah, so the same reason christians are “persecuted for their beliefs”.
"So are you being persecuted for believing that Jesus was the son of God? No? How about that Jesus sacrificed himself for humanity? Still no? That you should love thy neighbor as you love thyself? Not that either huh?
I wonder what it could be…"
I’ve worked with several people that got fired in the last 8 years who claim it was their politics.
True, they all were hard right republicans with Trump/MAGA bumper stickers.
But they all got fired because of their behavior and misconduct. They are just claiming they lost their job for being Trump supporters because suddenly that means it’s not their fault and they were persecuted for beliefs and identify, not something they actually did wrong. Nobody really gave a shit about their politics and bumper stickers. Zero self awareness among this crowd; claim the victim cause of who they were then immediately turn around and spew the most foul rhetoric I’ve ever heard about LBGT youth.
Being loyal to ANY politician is insane.
+1.
Even if someone wholesome (Mamdani?) somehow took over the Democrats, or any cool party, I would never be “loyal” to them.
Maybe this is my old millennial ass shaking my fist, but I don’t get why folks are loyal to influencers. Loyalty should be two way and reciprocal, to friends and family one knows personally, not asymmetrically to someone who makes a living from thousands following them.
Respect and admiration? Fine. But this guy’s a poster child for why loyalty is too far. After all, what does Trump think of him?
Seeing “old millennial ass” just seems so wrong.
We’re the young generation, right? We’re like, 25 at most. Right?
I’m 40. Oh my god. I need a Camaro and a broccoli haircut so I can fit in with the hip crowd. Broccoli hair is still a thing right? Haha
Man it goes so fast.
I know.
Curls into ball.
I do have natural broccoli hair, though…
Lucky! :p
At least you still have hair! I started shaving my head a few years ago at 35. Still haven’t gotten used to it, but I think it looks better than when it was thinning out in the front and getting stringy.
Not only am I blessed to have a full head of hair, but my younger brother has always been so much more handsome than me. Girls clawed to get to him, they fought to get to him.
It was so funny the other night when I was on a video call with him and his wife, and I don’t even remember the comment that I made, but she pointed out that he was bald, and I had a full head of hair and I nearly lost it.
I’m sorry that probably hurts you. It’s just a win for me, it was always so fucking easy for him. Now he’s bald and mad about it, and here I am with a beautiful lion’s mane.
He could read this comment easily, he knows all of my usernames and shit online.
So hey, I have a full head of hair asshole. Where’s your hair?
It’s so crazy though, everything I ever did, he did it better. Just across the board entirely. Still to this day, shit I busted my ass on for 25 years. He’s doing it better with no effort.
So all I really have is my hair. He has it all, the lucky bastard. It’s only right that he went bald. Nobody should be able to have it all.
Ehhh I made it longer than all the other males on my moms side. They all went bald in their mid 20s. Gotta hurt.
As a gen y (I refuse the notion of being letterless dammit!) I have no idea what broccoli hair means…
Patrick mahomes haircut.
Lol that’s exactly what I call it. Whenever I see a group of kids with haircut, I think of them as Mahomies.
I didn’t either!
It’s a perm, but for the youths!
Perm up top, shaved sides.
Wait til you hit fifty, it’s really disconcerting.
Nah bro. We fucking pogslammed right into middle age. Our TalkBoys are rapidly approaching hearing aids. Our tamagachis are now our actual children.
We old brother.
(hehe), sure brother, you’re still young. ::cracks open a beer and hands it to you:: have a seat in this lawn chair next to Gen X and tell us about it.
I love Bernie. While I don’t agree with him on everything, he’s consistently been on the moral right side of most issues. Here he is being arrested for protesting segregation in 1963:
However. If he did even 1% of the things Trump did, I would call him out for it, demand he do better, and support his primary challengers if not. Unconditional loyalty to a politician doesn’t keep them in check, and actually harms us all…
Agreed. I like Bernie and AOC not because I always agree with them but because they both seem to be trying to make things better.
*make things better for all, not just themselves
Do you fly a Bernie flag or constantly wear a Bernie hat, or constantly spout Bernie beliefs?
I haven’t seen a single flag or hat in months but those people still live among us.
Being loyal to anyone who doesn’t know your name personally is borderline insane.
I can vaguely imagine soldiers being loyal to a general in a war. If a general always seems to find a way to win, even against the odds, I can picture his soldiers being willing to… well not to die for him, but the opposite. I can imagine them being fiercely loyal and trying to protect him because he’s making sure they don’t die.
You basically plucked the thought from my head as to why I added ‘borderline’ to that sentence. Yes, in a desperate situation, it’s not insane to glom on to the safest option available.
But war has never been a great place for being rife with sane options, it’s almost always created by one or more people being insane in the first place and making it their neighbors’ problem.
Yeah, the reason why war is worse than hell is because there are no innocent people in hell.
The Cult of Personality
Yeah, describing yourself as a “loyal” politician supporter basically means you’ll ignore whatever wrong doing they do and root for your “team”.
I feel like that ought to extend to everybody. I’m “loyal” only to the acts/values I’m on board with, and even then, not really, because I’m always open to changing my mind based on new information.
The concept of sticking with someone out of loyalty, regardless of who they are, after they’ve done something horrible, makes no sense to me, personally.
Trump literally told them that he will not need them after this again. No, he does not want or care for their support!
“In four years, You don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good. You’re not going to have to vote.”
The closest I could say to being loyal would be AOC and Bernie, since I agree with most of their political stances and the things I do disagree with them on is mostly what I consider non-issues. But I’m definitely not running around waving their flag or wearing a big dumb hat to label myself, and certainly not vehemently defending any political blunder they might make.
I met that vampiric looking fantastic bastard and he signed my American Football. Antiques Roadshow in 20 years so I can retire.
Or maybe not.
Hahahahahahaha!!!

Yeah, I’d be willing to bet he votes R down ballot in all future elections.
He said he’s done with Trump. It’s Vance 2028 baby
I’m betting he’s actively demonstrating on a street corner for trump today.
And drives a mammoth truck with Trump branded truck nuts and a flag waving from the bed.
I googled this guy to see if this story was in any way significant, and his other posts are so Poe’s Law batshit that I have no idea which of them are serious and which aren’t.
Sums up most of MAGA. At this point there are so many conflicting narratives that these people literally have no idea what to believe. They lack the ability to fact check anything or think critically. So in the absence of critical thought, they do the only thing they know which is to parrot the party line and try to fit in with their other MAGAts.
Best guess would probably be all of them.

Is this supposed to be an insult? It kind of reads like one, but setting aside any questions of IQs validity, it is laid out such that 100 is average.
So what you’re saying essentially is that the nation’s average IQ is average, which is not an insult in my book.
I thought 98 < 100
water at 98°C isn’t technically boiling yet but you’d be slightly miffed if i poured it on your hand
98 C boils in high elevation. Salt also changes the boiling point of water. It’s a relatively moving target for us to pin our temperature system to honestly.
Think about it… A little harder
You have to remember, some people are 98s.
Some people are just 8s. Like the guy in the image.
in agreement with the validity of all your points, but counterpoint: for the supposed greatest nation on earth, an IQ below average is kind of embarassing. doesn’t matter how much below - it’s below average for the greatest nation. obviously that’s a subjective qualification, but imo those are mutually exclusive statements.
‘I’m an idiot’.
This guy is a FAKE LIBRUL MAGA FBI INFILITRATOR! REAL MAGAS SUPPORT Jeffrey Epstein and his Best Friend Donold Trump!
… why does maga care about this list? T has lied about a lot of things, why does this thing actually matter to them?
Because they like calling every liberal on the planet pedophiles so they had to champion releasing the list because they probably thought it only had Democrats on it and were also mad that Biden didn’t do it and were really happy when Trump literally campaigned on doing it.
So they really can’t back out of this one.
They’d love to though.
I’m assuming Trump will get enough pressure that he’ll eventually have something released with entire pages completely blacked out and nothing of value left visible and his braindead supporters will use that as an opportunity to say he’s cleared and move on without holding him accountable…again.

Child molestation is basically the worst possible crime, in the eyes of the vast, vast majority of the population, I’d argue above murder.
And I’m pretty sure that majority is a larger majority than that of any political candidate of at least the past century.
Have you really dehumanized Trump supporters to the degree that you’re surprised one would care about this? In case you haven’t realized, those who are sticking by him aren’t doing so because they’re cool with Trump having diddled kids, they are people who have chosen to believe, wisely or not, that he hasn’t done that.
This is a hard, hard line. A very successful TV show ran in the US whose entire premise was catching people attempting to commit this one specific crime. Good luck finding a Trump supporter who would genuinely answer the hypothetical “if it was definitively proven that Donald Trump is a child molester, would you still support him” with a “yes”.
You guys need to really take a step back here and self-assess how you’re perceiving other human beings once in a while, this is getting truly absurd.
A lot of the Qanon stuff was about draining the swamp by arresting all of the pedo Dems.
They were basically told everything they see in the media is a cover for the real plan to catch these people and that there are already all sorts of sealed indictments that they are just waiting to execute at once, etc.
So some of his most rabbid supporters are realizing something is up about denying this even exists.
Caring about the Epstein Files, while also voting for Epstein’s long time good buddy. Hmm…
B b b Bill Clinton!
They hate Jews and love the Israeli government, too.
This guy doesn’t seem like a fan of Israel
I consider this a win
Meh, doesnt matter. Dude already fucked us, he doesn’t get to feel redeemed because “he saw the light”
Dude is a piece of shit, and moreso now that hes a scab. If he wanted to feel good he shouldve paid attention when it actually mattered. Fuck em
Yes fuck em, but maybe republicans will see what they did and vote blue next time. Maybe? If this guy truly learned from this then he is redeemable and so do some other republicans.
Nah, they’ll gaslight themselves for the next Republican.
Eat your shit and choke, buddy.
I’ll say it again: I’m concerned about the wildlife. the leopards are going to die of morbid obesity.
This is the literal opposite of ‘leopards ate my face’. LAMF by definition is only when the thing you support the politician doing is exactly what they do, you just assumed, without justification, it’d be done only to others, and not you.
This guy obviously wanted the Epstein stuff put out there, and Trump (in)famously promised to do so during campaign time. He’s pissed that Trump is now not doing so.
Literal opposite of LAMF.
No, see, in the hive mind leopards eating faces is “bad thing happens to trump supporter”. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yeah, fuck me for holding Lemmy to a higher standard I guess, lol.
I saw it at a total LAMF scenario because I read it as “I supported Trump as he bullshitted and lied to everyone else for the last 8 years. But now he’s bullshitting and lying to ME?! Why I never.”
That’s a pretty strange interpretation imo; I’ve never heard of a Trump supporter saying they specifically supported him lying to others, lol, nor did Trump ever promise to lie to anyone (and another main thing about LAMF is that the act is one the politician explicitly says they will do, with the LAMF’d voter voting for them because they support them doing precisely that).
Sounds like one is getting close.
Why can’t you people practice basic discernment?
This is in no way real.
What makes you say that? Before I posted I checked the guy’s post history and he seems legit.
Edit: A few sample posts going back a few weeks
But it’s verified! /s
