The part that chaps my ass about this is.... The damage is already done. Trump can not get voted in again. He's on his second term, of two max.
So all of this shit is too little too late. You fucked up. You fucked everything up. And now you realize the guy is a piece of shit because he won't release a list of rich people who are paedophiles and rapists? A list he's very likely to be on?
This is the line?
Holy shit. Of all the terrible stuff he said he would do, and all of the terrible stuff he actually has done..... And you fucks put him in the office again.
And this is the point where you finally stop supporting him?
The damage has been done, yes, but we can stop further damage. If MAGA finally turns on him for being a prolific pedo, we can roll the clock back on some of this stuff. I'm afraid they're going to have to catch him live with his dick in a minor for his base to believe it, though.
You can't roll back the loss of 100 years of progress. Especially in the sciences since we've already lost a lot of the people, can't roll back the loss of prestige, or the devaluation of the dollar, at least not easily.
Honestly, I'm a bit relieved at the current situation, because I wasn't nearly as certain he was done. With incidents like January 6th, all the claims of voter fraud, his clear abuse of systems like presidential pardons and executive orders, I really thought Trump had a genuine chance of overturning the 2-term limit and twisting the US into a bona fide dictatorship.
I'm relieved to see his astounding incompetence finally reaping results in his polling numbers again and again, because it's breaking the spell he seemed to have over half the country. Hell, it's even breaking the allure of fascism in the elections of other countries at this point. His gross incompetence during this presidency is single-handedly moving the whole world a little more to the left.

I felt this exact way in November of 2020. So I hope you are right because:

Jury is still out for me on this. Let's see how the midterms go. If there is even a whiff of shenanigans, I'll have real doubts about 2028.
You overestimate his supporters long term memory. You're still only 6 months in, still 3.5 years left to go. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
I'd say this is silver lining on a very dark shitstorm cloud.
A-fucking-men. These people need to know that just because the scales have fallen from their eyes, we will not be welcoming them back to the ranks of civilized society anytime soon. They may be pissed about this, but we've come down a long road of atrocities that they either supported or ignored, and they have a LOT to answer for in that regard. Their enthusiastic dismissal of simple human - and American - decency will not be forgotten, and all MAGAs have a long way to go to redeem themselves, which in many cases will be impossible.
I wonder how many of these people will put 2 and 2 together and question every other time Trump used the same blame the dems + shoot the messenger strategy.
It’s almost like he’s a corrupt piece of shit and this is literally his strategy for eve-ry-thing that makes him look bad.
He's already back to tweeting shit about how Trump's bday letter to Epstein is fake. So they learned nothing.
He realized he would lose revenue and recognition if he didn't swing back to Daddy. Morality is dead.
Literally we pointed to his career in real-estate where he consistently ripped off contractors when he was running the first time and people said. "Yeah that's my guy. The one that weasels out of honest deals" that's not a business man. That's a crook.
They'll put 2 and 2 together and get whatever the GOP tells them. They don't think. They won't think. If Trump gets bad they'll dump him, but then go for the next one. I live in a red state where we voted in some worker rights, but people still had to vote for that R... and now that the workers rights are being taken away, the republicans are still mouthing the party line of "It's bad for business" even when they voted for it.
Almost certain I won’t. These people don’t have a very high capacity for self-awareness or self reflection. If going back to question everything Trump said only to see that he was lying the entire time, these people would have to admit that they had been duped and were wrong this entire time.
There’s anything that I’ve come to know, it’s that these people can never ever admit that they were wrong.
No, they formed some other delusion around that in order to explain away their cognitive dissonance. Their entire world would collapse around them otherwise.
Baffling that THIS is their line.
Not that surprising. Republicans have been painting Democrats as Satanist baby killers for decades. Republicans have also been campaigning on the lie that the Epstein list is all Democrats, Woke Hollywood, and Silicon Valley Tech Bros. To the average brainwashed minion, there is zero reason to hide the client list. They want their righteous lynchings.
Republicans went hard on the conspiracy crowd for support. QAnon, antivax etc. /r/conspiracy became a conservative propaganda group. A lot of the diehard Trump people are very invested in this narrative.
It's going to be difficult for the party to say, "oh yea, that thing we've been feeding into for years, please stop immediately" and have people listen. Some are going to go along, but a lot won't. It's become their identity.
Eat your shit and choke, buddy.
Obvious stupidity aside went to the "non-satirical" r/conservative and even there the temperature looks bad for Trump. I'm actually surprised that there is so much negativity against Trump there now the mods were not able to delete enough comments.
Turns out the possibility that the president is a child rapist is hard to look past.
They looked past that for the last 12 years.
No, I think the media machine is trying to phase trump out, by finally rubbing it in their stupid faces, like a dog's nose rubbed in shit.
Thoughts and Prayers
Maybe.. just maybe people shouldn't worship politicians, or anyone rich/famous to begin with. But what do I know, I'm just a simple person who doesn't want to deport/imprison people for the color of their skin or take Medicaid and food away from the poor.
So many leopards eating faces. This is a cult of idiots, the only thing that seems to be pulling them out of the spell is this scandal that would make Watergate pale.
I consider this a win
Meh, doesnt matter. Dude already fucked us, he doesn't get to feel redeemed because "he saw the light"
Dude is a piece of shit, and moreso now that hes a scab. If he wanted to feel good he shouldve paid attention when it actually mattered. Fuck em
The fear of pedophiles is higher than this guys racism/queerphobia? A win i guess. I welcome every person that stops to support Trump because there are still many who do.
Like i really god damn hope that this of all things is what breaks his neck. If there is a god, hear our prayer 🙏🙏 (cause i am somewhat doubtful)
I've never heard of people harassing a Trump supporter unless the Trumpet was baiting them.
So we found the cultists breaking point: Something universaly moraly reprehensible that is undeniable in-front of their own eyes, and for him to contradict himself within days.
Some of them, anyways.
Yuup, there are plenty that would believe him if he said he was Jesus. The ones that seemingly have no breaking point.
I googled this guy to see if this story was in any way significant, and his other posts are so Poe’s Law batshit that I have no idea which of them are serious and which aren’t.
Hitler did away with the SA, you think Trump is going to worry about some disappointed magas?
If I could ask these absolute pickle-brained weirdos one thing: "What else do you think he's lied about?"
