All the warnings fell on deaf ears, huh? Must be service-related hearing-loss.

    evangelical christians were lied to

    No they weren’t, it was all laid out, they just didn’t think but would happen to them, or they only heard what they wanted to hear.

    He’s been elected by these fools, he doesn’t need them anymore.

    “evangelical christians were lied to” — yeah, and you fell for it. there is no excuse for falling for it again. none. you have access to the internet just like the rest of us, if you were too stupid or ignorant to make sense of it at the time, that’s on you and the community you belong to. fuck all of you sheeple

    Imagine your racism for strangers being stronger than your love for your wife. What kind of person would you be? … I guess he would know.

      I don’t need to imagine.

      JD Vance has a Indian wife and mixed kids.

      And let’s just say only JD Vance is doing well for himself.

      If it makes it any better in my experience the average Trump vote is pretty fucken stupid. Use my grandmother for example where whenever I have any trouble dissembling a piece of tech around her her first response is to suggest the sawzaw. Point is they ain’t very bright and a lot of them legit don’t know about how bad he is due to information and propaganda bubbles.

        Man, got really confused here for a second reading this. Probably perfectly understandable for a native English speaker though and I learned a few new things; sawzaw = Sawzall = reciprocating saw and dissembling being an actual word.

          Sorry about that, I have only ever seen it spelt that way. What your looking at is a phonetically spelt word from a rather hick dialect of old Inland Imperial Southern Californian.

          Dissemble is a word but I believe they actually meant disassemble here

    “It is one thing to just not deliver,” she said. “But to act in the way that he has, which is so dehumanizing, so cruel… this is why we are seeing the beginnings of real cracks with this president and his base.”

    The beginnings of real cracks? WTF? He doesn’t need you any more! You elected him already. Why would he possibly care? If he’s president beyond the end of this term, it won’t be because a free, fair and legal election took place! Why would he fucking care one ounce of a fart what you, a powerless nonentity, think of him? There’s nothing you can offer him in the future. He only ever cares what you can do for him. He has never cared what he can do for you. Ever.

    were lied to

    No shit, Sherlock! The world’s most famous, prolific and egregious liar whose desperately stupid lies were pointed out to you many, many times, and just today you realised he was lying to you too? How utterly stupid are you?

      Your last paragraph is what surprises me the most, because that’s just not the case. Project 2025 was very clear, they weren’t lied to, they just heard what they wanted to hear.

      Conservatives broadly fine care about suffering and hardship unless it directly and specifically affects them. Even then it doesn’t always sink in, either.

    Evangelical Christian people were lied to, if you really want to know the truth. And that’s exactly what happened.

    Evangelical Christians are easy to lie to, if you want to know the truth, because they disdain intelligence, preferring their world in which they cosplay magic in fairyland 24/7 without even a tiny hint of self-awareness (because they have none). Given the same choice he would do it again, because he’s too cost-sunk in his dumbass roleplaying to do anything different.

      Evangelical Christians just want to hear that they’re going to be rewarded for their suffering. Catholics as well. The Rapture, Heaven, Honoring the Son of God…

      It’s a whole group of miserable people who are desperate for affirmation that their misery has meaning. Then they groom their children into miserable lives, and pressure strangers into being miserable as well. It’s incredibly sad.

      Who’s doing the lying?

      …. He goes on to say that he and his wife were both ministers. Seems like they’d be part of spreading the lie

    Again, the classic quote rings loud ‘I didn’t think the leopards would eat MY face’ It’s super hard for me to sympathize with ignorant racists.

    I know a veteran who married a women he met while stationed in Panama. He also adopted a kid from Panama. They were all loud and proud MAGA on the socials up until about 6 months ago. Now all of it has been removed. GEE I WONDER WHY?

      We’ve got a family of psychopaths loving below us, from some Eastern European country. They’ll bang on their ceiling if we move around after 9 pm. He tried to actually prohibit it, but I told him no, not politely. My landlord seems to hate them, too. They were trying to get his attention on the sidewalk a while back, and he barked at them “I told you that I don’t want to hear from you unless your place is on fire!” He likes us, though.

      But ever since Trump took office again, and ICE started rounding people up, these people have been SILENT. No banging on the ceiling , no dirty looks, no monopolizing the courtyard, etc.

      I’m pretty sure they’re just flying under the radar, knowing that we could make their lives miserable with one phone call. I wouldn’t do it, but if the tables were turned, I have no doubt that they would dime us out in a heartbeat.
