It is baffling how anyone couldn’t see this shit show coming. I constantly feel like I’m the subject of a long running prank.
They are sadly that stupid. I was wrapping up a job and talking to the customer ( die hard trump freak ) , typical " yeah, nice weather this weekend, hope you have a nice vacation this summer etc.".
Somehow the price of "things" comes up and this lady says "yeah it's like the extended warranty on my car! They keep raising the rates every year and I think I've paid them as much as the car cost me used! But at least i know if it breaks down ill be covered "
😭😭😭 Noooo you stupid idiot ! That is a fucking scam ! Everyone knows that!
Well, they are the people that fall for all that dumb ass shit. I don't understand how they live so long and have nice homes. I just can't figure it out.

Actually, that time was before the election, but you all let a lying traitorous basterd fool you all into believing he was on "your" side. Have the day you voted for!
Congratulations. You got what you voted for. I seriously hope you learned that lesson.

I have sympathy for her and people in similar situations and take issue with any suggestion that they deserves this. But I also can't help but feel her plea for unity is disingenuous and hypocritical. It's great that she's seemingly on board with unity against fascism now but going forward I don't trust she or people like her will have anybody's back but their own.

Immigration is the one issue where he 100% did not lie about what he intended, and therefore, the one issue where I don't feel much sympathy for impacted MAGA voters. You literally did vote for this.
I can't help but feel bad for her and her family.
And as much as we want to laugh at her, that doesn't help. A lot of people need to see how their mistakes affect them before they get it.
This country needs to be united, and anyone that wants to defect left should be welcomed. Show them the light and how they were lied to and manipulated. Grow our numbers. Teach people compassion.
But if we ostracize her, she'll just end up back into her media sphere and voting against the betterment of this country again.

Do you not remember how this went the past 15 times it happened in the past 3 decades?
"Welcoming" them back teaches them that their actions have no consequences. Many conservatives entrench and intensify their vile worldviews precisely because they know that their social circles will remain under the justification of "It's just politics". They dial it back when they receive pushback or punishment, and intensify it in time for the next election. Every. Goddamn. Time.
They aren't 'defecting left'. They're sad that they, personally, were harmed; and they will continue to advocate for others to be harmed as soon as their ultra-fucked rationalization of vile behavior either triggers on its own, or is 'guided' by their favorite media or memes.
Nope. Fuck them. They got exactly what they voted for. This is probably one of the few things Trump didn't lie about.

How much hateful right wing rhetoric do you think she happily enjoyed and shared during her stint as a Trumpist? There is a pretty high chance that it is higher than zero.

Cry for all the people you helped fuck over by voting for that shit.
She's right about the unity. I know there is some schadenfreud here, but at the end of the day if Trump voyers want to change their minds it's a good thing.
Finally, one that says they wish they made a different choice. Unfortunately, if this didn't happen to someone close to her, she would probably still be for this.
a lot of hispanic voters thought he was only talking about deporting criminals and gangsters… and the spanish language news coverage was entirely different….
i see it as: victim of conman realizes it in the hardest way possible.
you know who’s really welcoming to converts? the right.
leftists seem to tend towards, “you fucked up once, so fuck you forever”… we need to invite growth.
but the “looks like an illegal” race is getting fucked over hard… they just effectively killed her father… it’s not that funny.
i like seeing hardcore magas who lost their farm when their workforce was deported….

They'll vote the same way at the first opportunity
They'll perform some shitty mental gymnastics to justify it, but they'll do it

I'm fresh out of compassion. They all deserve this.
Same. Tried to warn them, but they wouldn't listen.
Her vote says she didn't give a fuck about anybody else's father, so why should anybody else give a fuck about hers?
And they'll find a way to blame democrats or something
I fucking despise people like this
They're fine with hurting people, so long as they're not hurt themselves
Who knew there were so many leopards about?
Damn, that's more sad than funny, even though Trump voters are either stupid, or evil and knew exactly what would happen.
