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.

Imagine losing a job and friendships to worship the star of NBC's The Apprentice.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 169 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Imagine thinking you are the victim because you supported trump.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Imagine voting for quite possibly the biggest conman in the 21st century and get surprised when he pulls the rug out from under them.

How does this come up as enough of an issue at work that your boss takes action on it?

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 85 points 1 week ago (2 children)

By being a cunt about it every hour of every day with coworkers and customers.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 47 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Yeah, you don’t get fired for supporting a political party, you get fired for bringing it up constantly and being an ass.

If you asked my coworkers they wouldn’t know my political views.

Ah, so the same reason christians are "persecuted for their beliefs".

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago

"So are you being persecuted for believing that Jesus was the son of God? No? How about that Jesus sacrificed himself for humanity? Still no? That you should love thy neighbor as you love thyself? Not that either huh?

I wonder what it could be..."

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They identify with a political group who's primary recognizable characteristics are publicly wearing an extremely identifiable bright red hat and actively mocking and trolling their perceived opponents even in completely fictitious situations.

It's not much of a leap to say they acted similarly at work and got fired for being an asshole constantly.

Being loyal to ANY politician is insane.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 57 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

+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?

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (19 children)

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.

I love Bernie. While I don't agree with him on everything, he's consistently been on the moral right side of most issues. Here he is being arrested for protesting segregation in 1963:

However. If he did even 1% of the things Trump did, I would call him out for it, demand he do better, and support his primary challengers if not. Unconditional loyalty to a politician doesn't keep them in check, and actually harms us all...

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Agreed. I like Bernie and AOC not because I always agree with them but because they both seem to be trying to make things better.

Trump literally told them that he will not need them after this again. No, he does not want or care for their support!

"In four years, You don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good. You're not going to have to vote."

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago

Yeah, describing yourself as a "loyal" politician supporter basically means you'll ignore whatever wrong doing they do and root for your "team".

[–] TeddE@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Being loyal to anyone who doesn't know your name personally is borderline insane.

Know when you get the joke a few minutes after everyone else laughed at it and it's pretty embarrassing?

Imagine being a decade behind the curve.

Too bad they didn't get it before November and locking us in for 4 years.

Anyways, I'm glad all those bad things happened to him.

Well bye, I guess. Took him 10 years to figure out that voting for the "Punch me in the dick, repeatedly" party wasn't a great idea.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 50 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh no, he'll still vote Republican

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe he'll vote for the Musk party instead, exchanging one big ego for another to worship and get disappointed by.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, please split the idiot vote.

This is a cult schism. Epstein is the point of cleavage between the grifters and the grifted. The grifters believe in nothing and would of course accept Trump trying to make the list go away because what they care about is keeping the gravy train going. The grifted, though, really believe in a cabal of powerful people molesting children. And however destructive they have been as a political force, they actually want to end what they think is a terrible ongoing crime. They won't just accept it being swept under the rug.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

Caring about the Epstein Files, while also voting for Epstein's long time good buddy. Hmm...

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They hate Jews and love the Israeli government, too.

All that happened to him personally, but it took the Epstein files to finally break him? Don't tell me it's not a cult.

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Baffling that THIS is their line.

[–] Banzai51@midwest.social 24 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Not that surprising. Republicans have been painting Democrats as Satanist baby killers for decades. Republicans have also been campaigning on the lie that the Epstein list is all Democrats, Woke Hollywood, and Silicon Valley Tech Bros. To the average brainwashed minion, there is zero reason to hide the client list. They want their righteous lynchings.

He's conditioned to be in an abusive relationship. He'll be back.

A tenner says this guy is one of those obnoxious pricks who decaled the truck he can barely afford with "Let's Go Brandon" and has a personality that entirely revolves around owning the libs.

[–] Zezzoz@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

So many leopards eating faces. This is a cult of idiots, the only thing that seems to be pulling them out of the spell is this scandal that would make Watergate pale.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (7 children)

How much you want to bet what he calls stalking and harassment was nothing of the sort?

Imagine expecting the guy who had Epstein killed to prevent his name from being revealed to be on the list due to his public 15+ year besties-ship with him, to release the list of pedos known to associate with Epstein

I've never heard of people harassing a Trump supporter unless the Trumpet was baiting them.
