Hello, I'm a pesky liberal. I voted for Biden, everybody should have voted for Biden, I will now proceed to cheer at people's misery and palestinians getting bombed because it makes me feel better about myself and my choices.
Hihi, we told you so. We were so right. I'm literally having a boner right now.
Well, can’t say trump isn’t keeping my the promises he made when on campaign
This reads like the post Brexit articles. What do people expect to happen when they vote for something?
I didn't think leopards would eat my face
Good. It sucks for her, but Trump voters don't deserve to have happy lives.
Talk about wanting the cake, and eating it...
I hate how many people are this fucking stupid.
hateful*
*hateful and stupid
I'd feel sorry for the guy but that would be both insincere and incorrect. After all, he got exactly what he voted for.
EDIT: Sorry this wasn't meant to be a novel. If I had more time it would have been shorter.
I understand not feeling bad for THE GUY. But you should absolutely feel bad for his wife. Moral values should not be conditional. I could have an undocumented immigrant cus me out and say "TRUMP IS AWESOME" and I'd still not want that guy to be deported for no reason. I know its a slightly satisfying "you got what was coming to you". But being leftist in any sense means staying true to your convictions and not falling for this type of reactionary response no matter how satisfying it is.
I've used this as an example before.
I want even KKK members to get free healthcare in the US. Because as much as I hate KKK members my leftist principles tell me that right wing reactionary ideas thrive in poor material conditions. Conditions on these fundamental leftist principles will not stand. The "got what was coming to them" response is absolutely a reactionary idea. These are conditions of revenge and not conditions of justice. They have no place in left wing principles.
You can absolutely enjoy the slight sense of irony and satisfaction from this snippet. But, at the end of the day, you're not saying anything different then "let's deport these immigrants because X" just like the right is. Its the same as saying "these brown people deserve to be treated badly because they didn't vote for Harris". It's insane reactionary ideas masking itself as leftism.
It's more like a guilty pleasure when you have no control over the situation anymore to see the people who chose to fuck it up suffer the most consequences. When given the chance, I would never let something like this happen, but since it happened outside of my control I think it's fair to bask in the irony
FAFO
"They're hurting the wrong people!!"
Maybe a controversial opinion but I don’t think anyone belongs in an ICE detention centre regardless of who their spouse voted for. I don’t think this is funny.
Haven't you heard? Empathy is a sin and the weakness of Western civilization. It's what a true conservative would want.
Empathy and goodwill aren't infinite, like any resource they can be depleted. I really cannot muster enough fucks to give about someone who voted for that turd a second time. Feel sorry for his wife, though.
Yeah, I agree, it's not funny, it's a fucking nightmare, and I hate that so many people are dumb enough to believe the restrained version of Trump the media sells and not the words coming out of Trump's idiot mouth.
As someone who doesn't live in tge USA, I don't feel empathy for everyone who voted for Trump or didn't vote at all because eQuAl SiDeS bAd. Project 2025 and deportation plans were known before the elections so you brought this down on yourself. It really sucks for everyone else though, within USA and its (former) allied countries.
These shithead said out loud what they would do - so he is mad because he voted for what trump said he would do. What a dipshit. Sorry, you don't get s Oops this time.
Another fucking idiot whose ignorance helped inflict Trump on us.
Thoughts and prayers
Good. I hope he's fucking devastated. I hope his entire world is fucking crumbling. Everyone with three working braincells or more knew exactly what would happen if we let the christonationalist fascists have total control of the government, and pieces of subhuman trash like him willingly made it happen.
I hate that as americans were so stupid we have to learn like this because we can't hear people out before it gets to this point.
Well that's what decades of destroying education will do
Like I believe one of your founding fathers Benjamin Franklin said: "Experience holds a dear school, but fools learn from no other"
He would have been pretty nonplussed by our current batch of fools who can't even learn from experience.
Wisconsin mostly went to TRUMP.
