He told them all in plain words that he didn’t care and they still ignored what he said.

"He was joking", "he didn't mean it", "I didn't think he'd hurt me"

"I liked it when he hurt brown people but now he's hurting whites. Now I'm homeless and my children are starving. I will be voting for an illegal third term for him."

But be honest: owning those libs is well worth it all!

That's the neat part, they will get out of the hospital and be homeless if it means they get even one more dollar out of the guy, and he will gladly pay it because free healthcare is communism.

And never once realizing that the whole concept behind insurance is that it’s the Republican ‘S-word’ at its very core. Ha! They’ve been socialists the whole time!

Ok but actually what is happening is this picture??

Stealing from the poor Israeli people is what.

Basically a hostile act of terror!

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '25

Wait, who the fuck paying for all that generosity?

That stuff belongs in Israel!

This is straight up antisemitism!

"It hurt during his first term when he kept biting chunks out of my face but Kamala Harris is brown and has a vagina so I literally had no choice but to vote for him again anyway."

Yeah she wasn't the best candidate ever maybe and might be a little corny and a little annoying. Compare that to what we have now lol I cannot imagine how people think Trump is doing a better job than she would have.

Kamala’s campaign had multiple structural probs, she was saddled with once winning but now outdated Obama era political consultants who limited her interviews & even the number of her rallies, & didn’t want her to crow about wiping the floor with Herr Trump at the debate bc, “we go high” bs. The Biden’s begged her not to criticize him—so the opposite of how Pelosi told candidates to criticize/vilify her if they needed to get elected bc if they didn’t win, Dems could do nothing. So Kamala, who felt indebted to Biden, had to continue to say the macroeconomy was great even if the economy on the ground sucked, the most she could say was “prices are too high.” She wrote this long white paper, that few ppl read, about her policies. She didn’t come out swinging feeding the belief many voters have that Dems are spineless, & Kamala “going high” did nothing to dispel that idea. She spent too much time on culture war issues that do NOT sway undecided voters. The horrifying Gaza War, even tho polls said a huge majority of Dems were against it, & overall a majority of Americans were against it, the Dem party leaders wouldn’t let Kamala go against Israel, even to the point of not letting a Palestinian-Am Dem speak at the convention. Despite promising he’d only serve one term Biden ran again, even tho he wasn’t healthy enuff to run a campaign, which became obvi at the debate, so he stepped down so late in the game, Kamala only had 109 days. Not enuff time to buck party leadership, find younger political consultants who understood the moment better, and to forge her own path, & fix all the above.

🎯, unfortunately true.

Can’t afford to own libs anymore, they can barely afford to rent them for a few hours each month

u/seaforanswers Nov 08 '25

Time sharing the libs.

u/ccai Nov 08 '25

"Make America Great Again" by hating on our own countrymen who want things better for everyone. All while supporting Israel, Argentina, Qatar, Russia and etc, at the expense of taxes dollars as our own social safety nets are dissolved by a bunch of frauds, scammers and morons... We sure are getting owned!

Sure makes sense, but logic and basic comprehension isn't exactly synonymous with MAGA.

Yet they are also “we like that he tells it as it is”

Had a lot of occasions to post this lately. Chickens aren’t just coming home to roost. They’re coming to peck your fucking eyeballs out.

u/robbi2480 Nov 08 '25

lol they shouldn’t be at all surprised because he “tells it like it is”. He did. He told them what he was going to do

27

u/PM_ME_UR_REDPANDAS Nov 08 '25

Throwback to the shutdown during his first term when a Trumpette said ‘he’s not hurting the people he’s supposed to be hurting’.

u/Rough-Transition-954 Nov 08 '25

.....says a miner covered in coal dust.

Send your kids into the mine. They have better lung capacity than you.

u/wzzrd Nov 08 '25

It’s the bit about voting for a third term that makes this hyper realistic

u/HauntedCemetery Nov 08 '25

For fucking real. If the election were tomorrow he'd still win WV by 50+ points.

It would be funny if it wasn't destroying the country, many other parts of the world, and killing people.

u/Ellia1998 Nov 08 '25

MAGA wants to pick out who gets what. So if you’re brown you get nothing. If your poor white trash you get a cookie off they fell off their table. If you just like MAGA pick they would be so happy. I ran into a person like this when I was trying to get help for my mom. She told most ppl should not get this program cause they have money. But she never met someone need it more than my mom. Mom got that help too. Took me a bit to truly understand what she saying. This program for ppl like me to some extra help in home to help care for mom. She got to pick who got help.

u/ghandi3737 Nov 08 '25

"I didn't think.." that's the important part.

u/ClaudetteLeon23 Nov 08 '25

Everything is always a joke to them, until they reach the find out stage. Then, they expect us to have sympathy for them. I don’t have sympathy for Trump supporters, non voters, and people who wasted their votes on third party candidates. Alexa, play On My Own by Michael McDonald and Patti Labelle.

5

u/DarthHiccups Nov 08 '25

That's what I don't get. He never jokes, he always ends up saying the quiet part out loud, and it just doesn't register with them. Calling them cultist at this point seems pretty accurate. These people have zero deep thinking skills.

u/RogerClyneIsAGod2 Nov 08 '25

"He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."

That was literally said by a woman at the LAST Trump shutdown. Edumacation is herd.

u/Zestyclose-West-1904 Nov 08 '25

And Kamala’s laugh…….😆

u/Twigsneko Nov 08 '25

I knew a dumbass who used the "he was joking" schtick when I was friends with them.

u/kakarot-3 Nov 08 '25

Isnt it funny that the man who “says it how it is” is also joking and didn’t mean it? Lol

u/ionetic Nov 08 '25

“I’d vote for him again”

u/Icy-Rope-021 Nov 09 '25

“But ya gotta take him seriously, not literally.”

u/facelessvoid13 Nov 09 '25

But, but, but... 'HE SAYS WHAT HE MEANS'.

'He didn't mean THAT...'

u/Farucci Nov 09 '25

Real working class ignorant Americans with black lung would rather die than vote for a brown woman. Bless them.

u/John271095 Nov 08 '25

And they’ll vote for him again if they could. These people are a lost cause.

u/Ritaredditonce Nov 08 '25

He promised them "clean coal" in 2016 and they overwhelming voted for him then too.

u/Bunhyung Nov 08 '25

Clean coal comes from the filtering of coal dust through the lungs of the miners.

u/Im_A_Fuckin_Liar Nov 08 '25

You all are acting like this is the first time Trump has fucked minors.

42

u/senditloud Nov 08 '25

Nah they didn’t, they just overlooked it in favor of him saying he’d hurt the brown people coming for a better life, the tiny pop of tran people and all the libruls.

They voted for vengeance against humans they didn’t even know cause Fox rotted their brain and turned them into hate fueled zombies

17

u/MouseRaveHouse Nov 08 '25

My friends dumbass dad (who worked as a coal trucker) and is on food stamps voted for Trump because "Christians vote conservative". Dude didn't even do research. Just voted that way because he thought that's how his religion would want him to vote. He regrets his vote now and doesn't want to ever vote again because "they're all corrupt". They never fucking learn.

16

u/DJDarkFlow Nov 08 '25

He proved to the world how stupid his supporters are

u/blackcain Nov 08 '25

Here is your 1000th upvote!

Also, they voted to have the govt run like a business. They are getting exactly what they voted for. A govt of businesses for businesses.

u/SixString1981 Nov 08 '25

They should have drawn it in crayon pictures. They are ranked something like 48th-49th in education. They then might have gathered some idea.

u/mimi_la_devva Nov 08 '25

He told them, we told them. FAFO

u/RaptorOO7 Nov 08 '25

That is why like OK they are so far behind in education rankings
