The leopards are obese at this point.

Just absolutely feasting, gorged on gullible idiots, who've spent the last near decade being increasingly belligerent and manipulative and gas lighting toward everyone not in their death cult.

Too bad their idiocy will destroy much more than just themselves.

What a shame.

In other news, anyone wanna set up a hermancainaward style community for... Trump Regret Syndrome, or something like that?

I do love me some schadenfreude when its derived from evil idiots.

Weirdo party strategy. Play the good/bad to boost relevance and propel into the spotlight as an alternative or rallying point. No one would care or know about these people otherwise. No one here is stupid except those that follow the piper's flute.

There was a story I read 10 years ago about a guy in Florida. He was at a beach, and there were several signs and fences, and warnings not to be on the beach because there were alligators in those waters.

A policeman saw the guy, wearing a bathing suit, headed for the water. He yelled at the guy "NO! STOP! THERE ARE ALLIGATORS IN THAT WATER! IT'S MATING SEASON WHICH MEANS THEY'RE HIGHLY AGGRESSIVE RIGHT NOW!

Dude yells back "FUCK THE ALLIGATORS!!!"

Goes into the water and within 30 seconds is ripped to shreds in front of his wife and children. When his emotional wife tried yelling at the cop "WHY DIDN'T YOU RUN IN TO SAVE HIM???" The cop answered "I'm not going in that water. There's alligators in there. It's not even safe to have a lifeguard on this beach."

I bring that up so you'll understand the reference I make here.

I don't feel bad for "Blacks for trump". I feel zero empathy for them and the problems trump causes them. Not because they're black, or some racist thing, but because they ignored the alligator signs. All the signs were there. All the signs were there. All the signs said it would be bad for them. They still went into the lake. Fuck em.

Yup. I emphasize with every single person who was able to vote and voted Democrats, or those who were not eligible to vote. Everyone else? Especially if a minority who historically the R party have fucked over raw? Schadenfreude galore

I'm posting this like once a week now! I stole it myself in November because I knew it would just become more useful

I have zero sympathies for these morons.

[–] reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 3 months ago (2 children)

That was my first thought. My heart bleeds for you. I wish I could help you. But you're beyond help and I'm just gonna laugh instead.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 34 points 3 months ago (5 children)

And for the Arabs who voted for Trump thinking he's going to help with Palestinians. How stupid do you have to be?

[–] reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Maybe I'm just a bleeding heart librul, but I really do feel sorry for these people. They're absolutely getting what they deserve, but they've been brainwashed. Propaganda is a powerful thing.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I am a liberal. But I have none left for these morons. Since I don't understand them, I must be out of touch too. But I live in Canada, and I don't have any poor black american friends.

[–] reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I live in the Southern hemisphere. Far away from these idiots. But I still feel like their education system and their country as a whole has failed them, leading to this idiocy.

ETA: That's why I still feel somewhat sorry for them even though I'm laughing at how stupid it is.

A black Muslim MAGA? What a fucking moron.

Wanna bet $50 he went to GOP because he hates queers?

Or just a grifter that wanted the bag and found joining the GOP would do that as his audience would be dumb.

He thought he would get to live in the master's house.

He hates queers because he wants queers to fuck him. And that inner conflict upsets him

What a surprising turn of events! Who could've possibly predicted this? Are you telling me that the party founded on hate for anyone who isn't a rich white guy is making things harder for whoever isn't a rich white guy? Preposterous!

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They had different principles when they were founded, but that was a long time ago.

I know this is nitpicky semantics and all, but the party technically was not founded on hate for anyone who isn't a rich white guy, it was at one point the party of opposition to slavery but after the Civil War ended and reparations began the parties sort of shifted and became moderate and heavily bipartisan until that all changed in the 1960s when Democrat President Lindon B Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and political parties continued to polarize in the rise of the information era until reaching the peaks we're currently at.

The painful part is he didn't even say anything like "I regret voting for you!" It was more like "I am strongly considering reducing the level of my support for you!"

Not that Don needs his support anymore. I almost feel like one of the biggest messages to keep pushing is: "Don doesn't care about you." As far as I can find, he hasn't even put out any comments on the pardoned Jan 6 rioter that was killed in a traffic stop.

Uncle Ruckus's face eaten by leopard, who'd have thought.

[–] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 27 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Dude just needs to shut the fuck up. You voted for this you goddamn moron! You voted the guy in that wants to revert to a chattle system you absolute dunce.

[–] expr@programming.dev 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes, he is a dumbass, but frankly this is exactly what's needed. More and more of his base having reality hit them in the face, complaining loudly, and fracturing his support.

[–] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 months ago

Sure would've been nice to have that without fucking over everyone else at the same time

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 26 points 3 months ago (14 children)

How dumb must you be to be a black american for Trump ?

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

Not saying it's not dumb, but it's definitely not unprecedented.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Black Americans for Trump is definitely a mind-numbing concept. We're living in strange times.

Dumbass. It's govt by the people, of the people and for the rich white oligarchs, corporate interests and pork felonious insurrectionist people.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

how could he have known that leopards would eat his face?

[–] slickgoat@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Must not have read the fine print before joining.

Damn leopards again

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Wish I knew this bozo in person so I could tell him he's a moron to his face
