Also, I don't know why so many dickheads talk about "upending" things. It takes a lot to have large complicated working systems.
Any old asshole (or even something as simple as a virus) can "upend" a system. Why is that a value in itself I will just never understand.
Gawd, what fucking dumbasses. LOL, "scrappy guys".
JFC.
Trump is "the swamp," you morons.
As one of my former coworkers said to me a long time ago: he's the big orange swamp monster.
And his fucking cronies.
Yeah, no they ain't. They wanted this and they are happy they got this. Everyone is fucking miserable except those pieces of shit.
Duped? Fucking shitbags.
Nobody was duped, bamboozled, tricked, or swindled into voted for Trump.
People knew what Trump was about and chose that.
For real. The photos and videos with and quotes about Epstein, the interviews with Stern talking about walking into changing rooms, grabbing 'em by the pussy, all this existed outside of the Epstein files.
He bankrupted business after business but stayed afloat by being a con-man, and red-state suckers flooded his rallies to juice up on his low IQ rhetoric.
Now he's filling his vault with cryptoscam cash from his idiot base buying memecoins and third-rate junk watches, so that his insipid sons can continue the family business of groping, scamming and conning. Trump has replaced Reagan as the new face of the GOP and they LOVE it, because they get to say how much they hate immigrants out loud.
They're shirking responsibility. It's typical. They gloated the whole way about knowing exactly what they're vote for.
In Local News: Farmer shocked to find himself bitten after taking in a viper.
Gen Z "men" voted for Trump because they're racist sexist homophobic pieces of shit like their fathers are.
Gen Z was born 1996-2009, the oldest were 19 years old in 2016 when Trump campaigned to drain the swamp, which famously didnt work.
Only racists and fascists voted for him after 2016. He was surprisingly open about all the terrible things that have happened so far in his second term while on the campaign trail. Although I never listened to his campaign ramblings (nor did a large chunk of his crowd), I didn't see reports about the drain the swamp slogan after the first term.
How did it take them 9 years to feel duped?

These idiots live in sewer-like information ecosystems.
Only racists and fascists voted for him after 2016
Not only. I know people who don't fall into either of those groups. They were just gullible and stupid. Sure they were perhaps pressured by someone that falls into the first group (the bigots). Never underestimate peoples proclivity for stupidity.
Most recent election had zero Drain the Swamp bullshit. Trump is the swamp.
Bullshit.
They are trying to save face, however they'll still vote for the dregs of humanity next time.
Am Gen Z male and I want nothing to do with this fascist treacherous dipshit.
Maybe its a good thing I didn't make any friends, at least I won't have any of my peers stab me in the back.
Alternate take. Make friends, educate them, turn them into comrades.
Human nature is a fucking bitch. You can scream till your face turns blue and your average milquetoast American will cognitive dissonance their way back to comfort. That's why the conservatives don't care about violating tne constituton. People aren't a hyper evolved species. We were just apes who learned to drive and do taxes. Of course the population is full of monkey brains wired to make decisions on vibes, that's how we got here. Empathy is just an evolutionary trait your brain decided was convenient for survival in a group, and some people literally just aren't capable of giving a shit.
My point is that no amount of education can force someone to empathize and it's so god damn frustrating.
Gen Z. Too young to have experienced or lived through the Reagan era lies and the Bush lies along with the courting of right-wing fringe politics, from the religious wingnuts to the Tea Partiers. Let’s give conservatism another go! Surely it’ll work this time.
Can't wait to hear about people too young to remember Trump voting against their interests in 20 years or so.
Then again, maybe voting won't be a thing in the USA at that point.
USA today is a rightwing propaganda rag and this is rightwing propaganda
"my peers aren't country club conservatives" shut the fuck up you are literally writing for the largest syndicated colonial newspaper network
Yup Gen Z men are kinda naive.
Oh noez, are a lot of our voting public stupid fucking idiots? What a shocker.
Well that explains why Gen Z women would rather use a vibrator than sleep with them.
Vanishingly small percentage of fucking idiots later realize they've been conned. Film at 11.
Weird, they were old enough to remember he didn’t live up to that campaign promise in his first term and just ended up swamping the drain even more. Did they think he was just going to do a total about face on his corruption in his second term?
If only there were signs 😞
'member when we thought "grab em by the pussy" would definitely do the trick and open some eyes? I... Yeah I totally thought that at the time...
Stupid fucking people. You got what you voted for, and your fucked us all over in the process.
I'm thinking if they saw Trump's record and still voted for him, this isn't gonna be the first time they get duped.
My peers are not your rich country club conservatives. They are scrappy guys who liked Trump because he wasn’t polished or predictable. To them, he was a rebel outsider who would fight “the swamp” with all he had. I remember heated lunchroom debates where they’d argue about whether or not he could truly upend our system and its backers.
What a bunch of fucking losers.
It's funny because trump is literally about as much as "the swamp" as you could be. Born with a golden spoon, socialized with only the elites, and personally fucked over working class people literally every chance he has.
