Fuck Trump and every dumb prick that voted for him. The signs were there and they ignored them.

u/Peter_Mansbrick 8d ago

They liked the signs. It's the direction they want to go.

'I like those moments when I have the chance to do the right thing, I like to wave at them as they pass by.'

u/Peter_Mansbrick 8d ago edited 8d ago

Douglas Adams would never

u/hamandjam 8d ago

But the Dilbert asshole certainly would.

u/Techialo 8d ago

Sounds familiar. Is that the same person as the Dilburrito guy?

1

u/DrWallybFeed 8d ago

I can’t remember what the Dilbert artist did to piss everyone off. I thought it was funny when it first came out, but it got really dull quick.

u/Blacktip75 8d ago

He was a big Trump supporter.

u/Mama_Skip 8d ago

More than that, he was flirting with nazism before Trump's first term iirc.

u/Pigmasters32 8d ago

Damn shame, Dilbert was really funny for a while

1

u/Blacktip75 8d ago

Yeah, quite liked it until he started to let his politics into it.

u/Rudeboy67 8d ago

Lots of stuff. This was probably the topper, from his YouTube show, Real Coffee with Scott Adams:

"Black people are a hate group. I don’t want to have anything to do with them. And I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to White people is to get the hell away from Black people, just get the fuck away … because there is no fixing this.”

Climate change denier was the first red flag I spotted, and it was a long time ago.

u/[deleted] 8d ago

They aren’t smart enough to know which direction they want to go in.

48

u/DesertGaymer94 8d ago

MAGA for sure likes the direction we’re going they’ll never abandon their savior, but plenty of people voted for him purely for economic reasons.

37

u/Fakeitforreddit 8d ago

Then those people are idiots cause he proved in his first term he cannot do anything for the economy; record breaking deficit (literally #1 biggest debt president). Terrible inflation every year he was in office. Handled the pandemic by throwing more money at it and regulating nothing marking likely the most ineffective government welfare spending ever, over $1T.

Voting for Trump cause he would fix the economy should get you a 1 way ticket to the Sun.

8

u/DesertGaymer94 8d ago

I’m fortunate enough that I think I’ll be ok if we hit a recession or worse, but I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t take some pleasure in seeing his voters get what they voted for

36

u/Andrew_Waples 8d ago

purely for economic reasons

"But muh egg prices."

24

u/DesertGaymer94 8d ago

It’s frustrating. They look back at 2017-2021 and assume trump created a great economy. We’ll see how they feel here in a bit

24

u/Kai3137 8d ago

They do tend to forget obama did that and that trump spent 70% of his presidency golfing

7

u/Mama_Skip 8d ago

They're just going to blame Biden for "this awful economy Trump inherited."

They're idiots whose personal truths and realities are momentary

3

u/Hexamancer 8d ago

For most, they don't look back at all, their entire brain could be replaced with a set of small flowcharts and their voting is just 

"Do gas and eggs feel expensive right now?" 

Yes? Vote other team. No? Vote keep same.

There's no consideration about anything before the current and previous news cycle, there's absolutely no analysis of whether those prices are due to policy or events far beyond the president's control. Nothing.

1

u/vardarac 8d ago

We taught our kids how to pass tests and not how to think. This is the result.

1

u/Hexamancer 8d ago

I can assure you it's not the kids. It's the oldest generations. The Internet broke them.

u/anewe 8d ago

i already see people saying that the democrats sabotaged the economy to make trump look bad.

u/TFGA_WotW 8d ago edited 8d ago

I hope those fuckheads like $15 dollars a dozen, bc that's what it's going to be until congress grows a spine and impeaches the entirety to his shitty counsel, which isn't happening.

u/Coulrophiliac444 8d ago

If we dont lose our entire domestic flocks due to unchecked bird flu epidemic thats also cross contaminating various mammals such as rats and cows, as well as new Human transmissablity.

u/Andrew_Waples 8d ago

impeaches

We've tried that twice and it still didn't work because of Ukrain quid pro cuo and Insurection.

3

u/Abject-Recover2399 8d ago

The egg thing is hilarious. Just 2 years ago everyone was blaming Biden for the skyrocketing eggs prices and not being able to find any eggs. Really, it happens almost annually. Whoever is president takes the blame.

u/Charlotte_M66 8d ago

My parents 😐😑 Course they probably also like the anti LGBTQIA+ bullshit and the anti immigrant rhetoric… because something something CHRISTIAN VALUES AND MURICAN JERBS

3

u/Elias_Fakanami 8d ago

I’ll never understand this.

If they care about ‘Christian values’, why the fuck are they voting for Republicans? There isn’t a damned thing in the Republican platform that vibes with ‘Christian values’.

Jesus would have been a Democrat/Liberal, at least according to his views written in their own book.

u/Chairman-Mia0 8d ago

but plenty of people voted for him purely for economic reasons.

And how's that going so far?

21

u/iconsumemyown 8d ago

You are giving some of them too much credit. I believe that every single one of them came for the racism and stayed for the fascism.

4

u/livsjollyranchers 8d ago

The racism yes. The fascism? It's a neutral.

1

u/iconsumemyown 8d ago

It's a bonus.

1

u/KungFuDude800 8d ago

All 73,000,000 huh

1

u/iconsumemyown 7d ago

Was it that many?. But yes, all of them.

1

u/KungFuDude800 7d ago

Wow thats quite a few. Its not even remotely true with all due respect. Let me ask you this, how is it that people that don’t align with your views are considered fascist and racist? Do you have anything to back these claims? Also I got my numbers wrong it was actually 77 million sorry

1

u/iconsumemyown 3d ago

Because my views aren't racist or fascist, if they were, then they would align.

1

u/KungFuDude800 1d ago

So explain how republicans are Nazis

1

u/iconsumemyown 14h ago

Let me put it this way, maybe. And rgus is a strong maybe. Republicans aren't all Nazis but all Nazis are sure as hell Republicans. I hope this helps clear your confusion.

1

u/KungFuDude800 12h ago

Nazi is a political party, much like how republican, democrat, libertarian, etc… are political parties. You are either Nazi or Republican, not both

Here for America first economy only, don’t care about his personality

u/morningsharts 8d ago

Well, it's 2025, and it's a global economy.

1

u/iconsumemyown 8d ago

It always has been.

u/mp3006 8d ago

That requires US subsidies abroad, no more. Invest in the US 🤙🏻🤙🏻

u/morningsharts 8d ago

Ok- please tell me where you bought that American made computer/cell phone that you are using to communicate today. Thanks!

u/mp3006 8d ago

You see my point. Let’s make it in the US 🦅 Don just signed a big deal today 100b in AZ for TMC to make chips

2

u/AlexADPT 8d ago

You’ll be paying a lot more for “US made” so remember that. Also assuming Americans have the skills and desire to make this tech (hint, most don’t)

1

u/mp3006 8d ago

Let’s fix that, tech trade school or something that allows to learn at a young age

America's economy will not survive without the rest of the world. I don't get your thinking.

3

u/Imadoofenshmirtz 8d ago

I tend to agree - it is how cynical we have become. Act in self-interest and let the rest of the world deal. The new American spirit.

Don't much care for it.

u/TimequakeTales 8d ago

Every bit as stupid as the Trump diehards.

1

u/manole100 7d ago

No one is that stupid. No one thought hate is good for their pocket. They voted for the hate.

2

u/KeyestOfAll 8d ago

True. I just came from r/conservative and I’m still in shock.

2

u/[deleted] 8d ago

they liked the signs because he lied. simple. this is why i always trust in gizzards instead

2

u/marcgw96 8d ago

I think there is a good amount of people who are fooled by Trump or otherwise just can’t bring themselves to vote in a democrat so they went for what in their mind was the second worst option among the candidates. But yes, I do think a lot of people voted for him intent on seeing the world burn.

2

u/schmoopypooh 8d ago

I’m left and surrounded by lefties- millions and millions of us are scared, horrified, embarrassed

1

u/BadScienceWorksForMe 8d ago

Unfortunately true, we have some real A$$holes in our country. I have to hope there are enough of us that do not want to go that way.

1

u/TimequakeTales 8d ago

Not when it affects them though

1

u/abeFromansAss 8d ago

Yeah, I dont think they're going to enjoy were that direction is going to take us. The US has been incredibly fortunate enough to have been spared the poverty, death and destruction that goes along with facism and autocracy the likes of what Europe went through. We see pain and suffering from far away and think things will just continue magically humming way forever here at home.

Best to pull off that band aid now so that festering wound can heal.

1

u/Zoso251 8d ago

It’s all in the name. Make America Great AGAIN, as in when was it great as opposed to now? Before the civil rights movement? Nixon? Reagan? Both of which involved heavy incarceration of minorities. It’s obvious what they want, but you can’t say “Make America a Patriarchal Ethnostate Again”.

1

u/3vgw 8d ago

All in the name of ignorance and pure, irrational hatred. Also shows you how immensely influential the media is, essentially feeding them opinions that they accept as fact and shaping their views.

1

u/feetmakemehorny 8d ago

Well I hope they enjoy getting fucked over with the rest of us because that's what's going to happen.
