Young Trump Voters Fume He ‘Betrayed’ Them by Launching His War
(www.thedailybeast.com)
newsI 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.
I'm a racist and sexist pile of trash but i didnt vote for war 😭😭😭😭
Eat the shit you ordered.
Off to the front
This is temporary, they'll fall back in line as new orders and talking points are given out.
“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.
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.
Exactly. If you voted for Trump, expecting that he was going to be anything different than he was his first term (other than worse), then fuck you.
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 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
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.
I remember being a pretentious film minor and turning my nose up at it as heavy handed. Watched it again in like ‘11 I think. Actually a really good play on the heist movie with a real world point. And Denzel cooks like he always do
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 point it's like the hard drive needs to be reformatted and a better OS installed.
I want to see community overpower marketing and pop marketed entertainment so that maybe people will get back to honest expression through arts and communion. It's like we distilled the soul from everything and sold the sludge that was left to addicts. And that's gone on so long I think many people have gone their whole existence without really touching what it really means to exist as a human being. It's like people just chase the high because it's not even possible to get the natural anymore ...humanity has been removed from the equation.
And it goes deeper than that when you start to consider the reasoning for that being the case... And you start understanding how "the game" works and that the possibility of it being completely on purpose and by the control of the most wealthy psychopaths that own the world. It's like they want people to be distracted away from authentic humanity. Its like we aren't the farmers anymore, we are the cattle and the product and we get traded and sold by the people that own the nation, which are beyond politicians, the owners are the wealthy. Our "freedom" feels like the freedom chickens get with a mobile pen, the scenery can change but it's still a cage.
It's already game over... Tbh. We didn't get here simply because of trump and Republicans. They just made it obvious by speeding up the gameplay.
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.
I notice none of these voters intend to change how they identify candidates or parties, just that they are less motivated to vote again, maybe. Meaning that the underlying reasons they voted that way to begin with (racism) haven't changed, so they'll probably do it again.
Voters don't follow reason, not even ideology or morals. It's a matter of identity, like sports. Even if a team plays awfully, fans can bitch about the coach, management, or the players but they don't quit for a better team, they just think they'll have a better opportunity next season.
Need to start this with most.
In my life in america most people are detached from politics and just mindlessly live like fent addicts that are slaves. Like... No one gives a fuck and that's why America has gotten so lame. Trump really sped things up but I don't think he's to blame for America's lack of human spirit. He's a result of it.
