A Reddit comment by user “Damichia480” in the “Conservative” subreddit reads:

It too late he straight up broke every campaign promise.

“No new wars” Bombed iran and is about to fund Urkaine like Biden did

“Mass deportation” not enough and is keeping the illegal immigrants working as slaves and H1B

“I will release the Epstien files” “The flies on my desk” - Pam Bondi. Recanted everything he said and say there no flies and Republicans BLOCKED the release

Patel was hired to take care of the deep state but he is no different from them

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

RIP MAGA we been terribly lied to and betrayed by the people that shouldve served us but they devolved into being part of the establishment.

Hey, OP, per Rule 4, can you add alt text to the post?

Edit: Thanks, OP!

To all the liberals reading these diatribes from disillusioned MAGAs, the enemy of my enemy is still my enemy. Even if they feel betrayed by their glorious leader, the things he has done are still within the playbook that those people voted for.

They will never "come around" to seeing what is wrong. They just feel put out cause their sugar daddy didn't give them the car they wanted (the Epstein files). He will inevitably do something horrendous that will get them clapping along to the fascist tune again.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 minutes ago

"devolved" lol. always has been buddy.

these people did not learn their lesson, they will look for the next fascist to support.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 1 points 16 minutes ago (1 children)

I love that rather than believe they were lied to, they turn to the "establishment" corrupting their boy, instead of their boy corrupting the establishment. It's almost too funny if you weren't one of the most powerful nations.

[–] Numuruzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 13 minutes ago

Well hey let's get one thing clear. The establishment was already corrupt. Their mistake is thinking this administration was going to be the ones to fix it because they just bought into the next grift.

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 6 points 1 hour ago

"not enough deportations"? How many drugs are he on?

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 hour ago

Should get the cleaning staff to look into the flies on your desk.

Hands down the dumbest people I've ever personally witnessed in my life or ever read about in the annals of history.

I had no clue before the last decade that people without actual, physical brain damage could be this stupid.

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 2 points 8 minutes ago

Technically every American in their 40s was poisoned as children with lead in the air we all technically have brain damage. Not saying it's the cause of any of this shit, but pushing everyone down a few rungs sure didn't help things.

Just realized that half the people you know are dumb as bricks, and half the country is even dumber than that.

And i thought the day would never come.

No matter what Trump does, his supporters find a way to justify it. Let's see this one.

I feel it in my organs. The revolution is ongoing.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

All I see is:

“It’s the leopard’s fault it ate my face, not that I should have been a better judge of character”

[–] Ostrakon@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly it's an unreasonable expectation to expect all voters to be excellent judges of character, or even understanding enough about practicalities to identify the better of two bad options. Even if these people had access to better information, would they process it correctly? I can be somewhat understanding of folks who were tricked by these lies given the context that they live in.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 1 points 26 minutes ago

Maybe the first time, not twice.

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 18 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Please let epstien be the catalyst to bring all this shit to an end. So fitting it would be.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

How do we live in a world where the best hope for positive change is the legacy of the leader of a pedophile sex-frafficking operation?

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 1 points 13 minutes ago* (last edited 13 minutes ago)

When youve got MAGA supporters asking for a sex offender (Matt Gaetz) to investigate a sex offender's ties to a sex offender... It really makes you wonder what they support. After all they were perfectly fine NOT charging Gaetz with paying to transport minors to other states for sex. They decided, well he resigned from a position so that's good enough, we'll find a new one as soon as we can.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 17 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The spell ain't lifting broseph MAGA said all this shit first term but they still kept sucking on it and got him a second term.

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I’ve known Trump supporters irl since then and this is the first time they’ve cracked.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 15 points 5 hours ago (4 children)

Will they stay cracked or will they just go back to their knees. That's the real question.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 2 points 23 minutes ago

My relatives cannot admit the cracks exist because Mormons support this horseshit and they can’t stray from the church. It’s so goddamn depressing to see otherwise educated adults just parroting idiotic fox sound bites

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 hour ago

Stay cracked. It may take years to work out, though.

No, cults do not have permanent control over peoples minds. People do leave. When there's big events like this that expose problems in the group, lots of people towards the edges will take off. Those who remain are the really devoted ones. It may take decades or even centuries to truly disappear (there's still a few Shakers out there), but MAGA doesn't have to shrink that much before it's no longer a meaningful political force.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 3 points 4 hours ago

Did you intend this to sound like that NIN song

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (2 children)

Unless he releases all the evidence he’ll lose about 75% of his base, they won’t drop this it’s a core belief.

Considering their attention span, that's only a real problem if taco can't come up with a good smoke screen

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

5 to 1 he looses less than 5% even for this.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 59 minutes ago

Arguably, you may have already lost that bet, or close to it. Depends on how you measure the results. Trump's approval rating this week is 41%, which is 1.6 points down from last week. 5% of 41% is about 2 points.

This is one of those issues where people won't come back when they leave.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Everyone is just casually overlooking the flies on Pam Bondi's desk. Why is nobody asking who shit on her desk?

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 2 hours ago

It's something that naturally happens whenever she starts talking

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 38 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

It's wild that this person thinks there isn't enough mass deportation happening. Just goes to show that even as his face gets eaten he's still a shitty human being.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 54 minutes ago

Attempting to hold up contradictions will do that to you. Can't deport migrant labor without destroying the base of cheap farm labor. The people hiring them are often Trump supporters themselves, and they'll lose money with crops rotting in the fields if MAGA got everything they wanted. At the other end of the spectrum, the tech billionaires love hiring H1-B visa holders to keep tech salaries down, and they're the ones buying $1M/plate dinners with Trump.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

This MAGA Poster is a DEEP STATE LIBRUL OPERATIVE just like the DEMONRATS who FORCED the Republicans to BLOCK the Jeffrey Epstein Files and Fired the Judges INVOLVED In his Jailing! Jeffrey Epstein's BEST FRIEND Donald Trump is going to PROVE US RIGHT! I DO MY OWN RESEARCH!

[–] ouRKaoS 1 points 12 minutes ago

thank you for your attention to this matter.

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 58 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

"devolved into part of the establishment"

No dude, they were like this the whole time, but very good at the grift.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

Were they really that good, though? I'm not particularly intelligent and it has been obvious for years, and mindbogglingly obvious for the last ten.

[–] Jack_Burton@lemmy.ca 14 points 16 hours ago

I hate to say bit, but yes, they were very good. There's a fine line to walk when turning a functional democracy into a totalitarian fascist state. It was obvious to roughly half the population, but the other half bought the lie. It's not easy to keep that many people hoodwinked when there's a nearly equal number screaming the obvious. They did just enough, but didn't go far enough to tip the scales against them. Until now anyway.

I really really hope that this is the "new generation" of Republicans (the Vances, the Johnsons, the Hegseths) that could have taken it to the finish line that their predecessors (like McConnell) have spent their lives patiently moving the pieces to only to lose it all because these greedy idiots are speed-running the last mile and tipping the scales. Fingers crossed.

It's worse that that, they didn't devolve into being part of the establishment, they hoodwinked you and played you for fools the whole time.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 132 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Wild that one if their issues is there haven't been enough deporting.

Is this just because many prominent right-wing influencers/propagandists/social media platforms are also not with Trump on this Epstein stuff? I.e. they're still just being manipulated? I also wonder if this is the result of monied interest turning on Trump (i.e. Musk and others being hurt by tariff shenanigans and all the other crazy stuff).

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

Q-Anon was started to explain Trumps Epstein connections.

They’ve spent years saying how he was going to break up the pedo cabal and now he’s turned around and said it’s an Obama hoax they're understandably losing their minds.

[–] from_D4rkness@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

whats crazy is that I distinctly remember when the Epstein shit dropped, Q went silent on it and it took a little bit of time and momentum on the case before they finally talked about it. That was something that I remember talking about with people during that time, and after a certain point many ppl assumed Q was on it the whole time or even had a part in uncovering it.

[–] abcdqfr@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Do you sincerely think free will shit the bed overnight and overtook their central cortex? They follow the talking heads.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 25 points 20 hours ago (6 children)

Damichia480, the problem called itself the solution and you're dumb enough to believe it. Fuck you.
