octopus_inkYeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit
NastyNativeWe supported Trump because we believe that Biden’s policies have had a detrimental impact on our country. Over the past four years, those of us who work hard for a living have faced significant challenges. Inflation has skyrocketed to the point where basic necessities like housing, food, and healthcare are out of reach for many. My son, for example, would have to work far harder than I ever did just to afford rent. We voted for a better future for the working class.
In contrast, the previous administration has shown a lack of morals, ethics, and compassion for humanity. The support of actions that led to the loss of countless Palestinian lives raises serious ethical concerns. It’s important to reflect on how Biden’s actions impact the world and the people who suffer as a result. Blaming a president who is advocating for the wellbeing of hardworking Americans misses the larger issue at hand. It’s essential to focus on the real challenges facing our nation, rather than directing blame toward individuals who are working to create a better future for the people of this country.
That’s a lot of words when “I have a rudimentary education and no critical thinking skills, so I’ll believe whoever tells me what I want to hear” is so much shorter.
The kicker is watching the great orange moron you elected already doing the opposite of what you think you voted for, but you’re just too stupid to understand. Hope your son enjoys never owning a home and working two jobs.
What have their education have got to do with anything? Do you know what education they received?
You are just belittling them without arguing against anything they said. On top of that you wish harm to come to the offspring of this worker.
You know, those who are less capable to protect themselves. And you expect them to have a shitty life.
You really want to be alienating these, as one would say with more respect “non educated” voters? Really
The ones that are the majority? That one who got trump the election?
My god you people are fucking delusional.
It’s ShartDickPrime, back from another long day huffing at the glue factory with another shart post! I’m unsurprised you’re sticking up for this numpty. Birds of a feather.
Mental health is a significant issue in today’s society, which is why I tend to avoid taking things too personally. When individuals respond with excessive anger, it often leads me to believe their frustration may stem from underlying issues unrelated to the topic at hand. Additionally, some individuals seem to struggle with engaging in constructive conversations with those who hold differing viewpoints, which is not reflective of the majority of us who are open to respectful dialogue.
Flying SquidYou unapologetically voted for someone who is going to make mental healthcare even harder to access for people than before, so I’m not sure that you’re really in a position to be talking about how mental health is a significant issue.
I find their anger often comes from the frustration of arguing with someone whose viewpoint is further away from reality than their own.
It’s not simply anger, but rather excessive frustration that is difficult to manage. Having lived in this country over the past four years, I’ve witnessed significant challenges and setbacks. I’m voting in my best interest, and if others disagree, it’s important to recognize that everyone has different life experiences. We all face unique struggles, so it’s unfair to assume that I am voting against my interests when many of the things I care about have been negatively impacted.
Has what has happened in the past few weeks been helpful to you or has it been putting your finances at risk like everyone else in America who isn’t super wealthy? Consumer goods are more expensive and inflation is higher. Was that in your best interest? To have to pay more for things and for your pay to be worth less than it used to be? Do you think tariffs on goods from all over the world without giving American businesses alternatives is going to make things less costly?
A different issue is for some is the GOP supporters voted to put people in concentration camps regardless of your personal view on immigration or whether LGBT+ people can exist in public. That’s going to be an issue for some.
While I disagree with the approach of removing immigrants from the country, it raises the question of who allowed them to enter in the first place. Why hasn’t President Biden taken more decisive action to provide a pathway to citizenship for them? Ultimately, the current situation can be traced back to decisions made by the Biden administration. It’s as if we are experiencing a form of collective amnesia when it comes to addressing these issues. I have never heard President Trump make any statements suggesting that LGBTQ+ individuals should not exist.
The GOP has been dead set against any pathway to citizenship for Spanish speaking people not from Spain. It’s always easy to blame POTUS but Congress plays a huge role as well.
If there is no clear path for individuals to gain legal status, why allow them to enter in the first place?
Because we require their labor and racists don’t want them to be citizens.
Project 2025, which Trump has been following since inauguration day, makes the administration’s position on erasing queer people from America very clear.
And he also doesn’t have to say anything because his actions are saying plenty:

There’s plenty more where that came from and it’s been less than a month.
UltraGiGaGiganticIt’s not necessarily a lack of education, I know a really smart surgeon, generally very reasonable, who fell for this stuff.
If you’ve never seen the echo chamber this guy lives in you don’t understand how bizarre it can be.
On the surface there’s a lot of influencers that can say truly regressive lies, and make them sound innocuous. They say it with such confidence and mixed in with truths and half truths. It can be hard to see the fallacies and misinfo even if you know what to look for.
There’s a constant drip of cherry picked stats and talking points designed to reinforce what he’s feeling. In the back of his mind he knows those support his case but he doesn’t really have an original source to reference. He tries to say them with the same confidence that he heard them with, but they’re not based in reality and look pretty ugly without the professional window dressing.
There’s videos where people do deep dives on this stuff (I can try to find one if you want). You could probably also experiment with it yourself if you have a VPN and a fresh/virtual device to make an account on.
