Transcript:

I've been a loyal Trump supporter since 2016.

I lost a job, friendships, been smeared online, doxxed, and pressed charges on people who've stalked and harassed me for supporting him.

If Trump doesn't want my support, because I care about the Epstein Files, then I'm done.

Bye.

Being loyal to ANY politician is insane.

+1.

Even if someone wholesome (Mamdani?) somehow took over the Democrats, or any cool party, I would never be "loyal" to them.

Maybe this is my old millennial ass shaking my fist, but I don't get why folks are loyal to influencers. Loyalty should be two way and reciprocal, to friends and family one knows personally, not asymmetrically to someone who makes a living from thousands following them.

Respect and admiration? Fine. But this guy's a poster child for why loyalty is too far. After all, what does Trump think of him?

Seeing “old millennial ass” just seems so wrong.

We’re the young generation, right? We’re like, 25 at most. Right?

I’m 40. Oh my god. I need a Camaro and a broccoli haircut so I can fit in with the hip crowd. Broccoli hair is still a thing right? Haha

Man it goes so fast.

(hehe), sure brother, you're still young. ::cracks open a beer and hands it to you:: have a seat in this lawn chair next to Gen X and tell us about it.

What’s funny to me is I grew up on gen x music and I remember looking up to those guys so much. They all looked like grown folks to me.

Now when I watch the videos, I see kids. It’s crazy.

This is a relatively new thing for me too.
