dudeYoung Trump Voters Fume He ‘Betrayed’ Them by Launching His War
“I don’t really want to vote anymore,” Byers added. “I’m really starting to just think it just won’t matter… I don’t want to feel responsible for taking a vote and feeling misled, or misjudged, or making a wrong move.”
Democrats suck but that’s disappointing to read. You have to dig the country out from under the Nazis by whatever means you have available. Then you can get on with actual political action.
Not even just among young folks and not even just about voting, millennials and Gen Z I know are pretty much completely out of hope and giving up that the future can change. Willing to just quietly ride out the horrors out into oblivion
All we need is for a handful of people to decide they’d rather shoot up a board meeting than a school. I don’t think that’s out of reach
I watched some documentaries about Earth Liberation Front, and feel like something similar is coming. But instead of saving environment, it would be about saving privacy and democracy.
And it will end the same. Immediate recognition as domestic terrorists by the government and huge investigation to destroy the movement. Saving humanity is crime that has to be immediately stopped. And anything that supports corporations is sacred, even pedophilia.
Legit kinda surprised this hasnt happened more often, especially after Mr. Mangione ALLEGIDLY did the thing he’s accused of, I know there have been a few that were quickly covered up but not on the scale of the school shootings we’ve seen
I’ve been saying for over a decade that I can’t believe more healthcare companies haven’t been targeted in that fashion. A ton of people get murdered every year and a ton of people face potential death due to healthcare being prohibitively expensive. How is there not more people both willing to murder someone and angry at healthcare companies in one form or another? It seems like an inevitable outcome of the system we’ve built.
Jesus now that I’m thinking about it, Denzel Washington was in a movie about doing similar shit in like 2004, how has this not been the thing that took root in the minds of Americas young men.
I was actually thinking about that movie as I typed my last response haha. John Q, I believe. I remember it as a decent movie at least.
DominusOfMegadeusBecause back then, no could fathom anything that fantastical taking place in reality
Im kind of one of them. Makes my posts sound hippocritical… I just think a real change is a monumental task that won’t come from utilizing the system that exists. Like the problems go deep to the port it’s like the hard drive needs to be reformatted and better OS installed.
young conservative voters dont vote that much as well as young dem voters, its all older voters than GEN-Z
Good. Don’t vote. If you were so stupid/racist/sexist/oblivious to history as to vote for Trump in 2024 you should not be voting at all.
Trump and the Republicans (who only exist as his personal ball-washers to sanewash and rubberstamp everything he does; they are indistinguishable at this point) documented all the policies they were going to pursue in the Project 2025 policy document, which was readily available to read before the election. You were warned about this loudly and repeatedly.
Trump’s behavior is also a known quantity. I suspect you did not magically appear on Earth to vote for him in 2024 having never experienced the reality of his first term, so you also should have had the benefit of knowing what he is like.
You therefore knew (or should have known) what he was like and what he wanted to do. If you knew, congratulations on getting exactly what you voted for. If not, you’re a low-information voter. You shouldn’t be voting at all because you are, at best, blindly picking a choice that everyone else has to live with too. So stay home. Don’t vote. Then at least nobody else has to suffer with the consequences of your ignorance.
The guy who’s constantly lying lied through his campaign? What a shocker.
Trump could say the sky is green and they wouldn’t see the lie.
In my life in america most people are detached from politics and just mindlessly live like fent addicts that are slaves. Like… Not one just a fuck and that’s why America has gotten so lame. Trump really sped things up but I don’t think he to blame for America’s lack of human spirit.
I’m a racist and sexist pile of trash but i didnt vote for war 😭😭😭😭
Eat the shit you ordered.
Akasazhthey never assumed he actually make them eat the shit, they assumed he was joking. and now they have to eat poop they dont like it. They always ASSUME.
This is temporary, they’ll fall back in line as new orders and talking points are given out.
I don’t get why any young folk would vote for trump. Then again I don’t get why any old folk would vote for trump. Hes trumped up this country the way he trumped up the republican party and now everything is just trumpy. From what I can tell his supporters are like. Sure were trumped but the only solution is more trumping. We just need to bend over and get trumped hard so that we can untrump ourselves.
If you took Trump at his word, that’s on you. Also, DM me, I have a great real estate opportunity you need to hear about.
Fucking idiots
This is exactly the sort of situation that people, like myself, assumed would come to pass and planned for.
BACKGROUND
I grew up in a family that straddled the line of poverty my entire childhood. Like many kids in a similar socioeconomic background, we moved around A LOT. My parents did their best to insulate me from the realities of this situation, and as a kid, I bought that hook line and sinker. We’d go stay at Aunt Jenny’s for a month or two because “our new house isn’t ready for us to move in yet”. We moved in with my grandparents for almost a year because “it takes a long time to buy a house” (which by the way we lost less than a couple years later).
If I’m being honest, it wasn’t until I was well into my 20s before it dawned on me how housing insecure things were when I was growing up. I was completely under my parents’ spell, took what they said as the full truth, and really didn’t have a lot of reason to question or challenge that. Literally just lived most of my life thinking / assuming that most people move around all the time, and that it can takes months between moves before you can move into your new place.
MESSAGE
The thing to keep in mind is that, hate it as you might, this is a situation where those of us in the USA who genuinely want positive, progressive change and are actually being realistic about how to get there are going to have to be gracious and understanding.
On an individual level, you might know one of these young Trump voters, and absolutely, they may just be a terrible shit. The end. But the reality is, many of these young people aren’t and in fact they are like most young people of a certain age and socioeconomic background – indoctrinated to this bullshit from a young age and still under the spell of their parents and guardians. They can wake up, they can come to the realization that they’ve been indoctrinated, and they can grow from that.
But all this hostility, negativity, threats of punishment, etc – that does nothing good, and in fact, at times it can have the exact opposite response of what we, presumably, all hope for.
Well said. The commonality of the common person is something we each have to accept. What we don’t have to accept is the manufactured division and anger. There are indeed more concrete divisions, already available for noticing
I wonder whether in regards to young voters this will translate to any action, and how far Trump will go to try and fix the midterms,
NO HE DID NOT, he said you voted on what he was GOING TO DO. You just dint bother to verify/research his claims.
