that's really rich. chaos is the reason he got into the office in the first place, and was offering nothing but chaos for 2 years before the election.

Um, he is doing exactly what he said he would do. These people just thought being white would keep them safe.
Not even. There are even people in immigrant families that voted for him because "he's only going to deport the bad ones" and then [surprised Pikachu] a bunch of their own family get deported
There's stupid, and there's zealotism, but stupid zealots are the worst
Friend of mine is Mexican living in Texas and voted for him because he thought it would help him get a job. I didn’t ask for more of an explanation but that is the kind of shit we are dealing with.
Bullshit. Trump supporters have no idea what "market turbulence" means and are cheering the executive orders. This is just manipulative feel-good bullshit.
Bullshit. I live in a red state. They're not turning on him at all. You can always find a couple of people to express any view that you want to amplify and write an article pretending they're representative of their entire group.
Exactly, go to any conservative space and they're just happy that the "libs are getting owned."
They really wrote a whole-ass article about two random schmucks lol
Yes you DID. YES YOU DID!
And it's going to be a whole fuck-ton more than just economic instability, you dumbasses.
no, assholes....this is EXACTLY what you signed up for. revel in it.
you didn't just accept it
you fucking demanded it.
now live with it.
Trump voters don't care about these things. they have a completely different rhetorical frame. this article is bullshit. trump voters are liking the chaos a lot because they think its good because they think liberals are bad. all you need to do is follow the usual conservative talking heads if you want to know what they're thinking.
I hate this clickbait feel good happy toxic optimism shit. it doesn't do any good to anyone. this article was only written to keep leftists stupid. downvote this fake garbage.
I hate this clickbait feel good happy toxic optimism shit.
Every time I see an article like this, I go check old.shittyplace.com/r/conservative and see nothing but Trump cheerleaders. When the tide starts to change there, I'll believe they might have gained a spark of awareness.
The media is publicizing these lies to keep people from getting the idea that they need to do something.
"Oh good his voters are turning on him" helps placate the opposition. It keeps people from wanting to do something.
no, they're doing it because it gets you to post the article on Reddit and Lemmy, to your Facebook so you feel like youre winning the debate with your dad.
it's pure nihilism
Until they stop admitting to voting for Trump or start outright saying, "We fucked up," this is just nitpicking his priorities.
what you are describing is a behavior that is not ascribed to humans
I am adjacent to a lot of Trump voters through my wife relating conversations from her 95% Trump voting company. Other than having to stamp out some offensive exuberance, there has been no reaction to any of it. They are just excited about the ascendency of the right and waiting for the "benefits" to percolate through society.
Despite having gay kids they support, etc. Any doubts or second thoughts they are having are not being shared. Could be the network effect of not wanting to be the first to break faith, but that could just as easily be wishful thinking.
That's correct. they are celebrating 🥳
A root cause analysis of these people lead me to draw one conclusion.
THEY ARE DUMBFUCKS!!
"This chaos isn't what I signed up for" says people who voted for chaos goblin who told people he wanted chaos
Get entirely fucked trump voters. As well as the people who told me that BoTh SiDeS aRe ThE sAmE and TrUmP wIlL nOt Be WoRsE tHaN GeNoCiDe JoE oR KiLlEr KaMaLa
The "I told you so"s will never be worth it.
Wow a 5% decline... ... ... ...
"best we can do is several genocides"
Chaos is exactly what you signed up for, maybe read the fucking fine print next time.
The perma stun proceeds.
I know it's tempting to dunk on these people, but if you know anyone like this, tell them to call their Senator and voice their displeasure. They probably won't listen, and they deserve their, "leopards ate my face," moment, but trying to mobilize them would be far more productive than saying, "told you so."
Unless they are done being class traitors, I hope they starve.
Very good point. I plan on giving the people I know IRL an off-ramp and I will try not to show that I'm judging them. Breaking with a cult is very difficult. Admitting they were wrong about nearly everything is world-shattering.
It's even harder if they think people will just be hostile and tell them how wrong they were, etc. As much as people want to give them no safe harbor, and make them grovel and prostrate themselves before normal Americans and constantly remind them about how much they have hurt others....that's not how the human psyche works. Almost no one is going to return to normalcy for that kind of treatment...

Vote for a grand wizard, expect collateral damage from the fireballs.
“this isn’t what we signed up for”
literally everyone has been trying to tell you it is
They signed up to make everyone else suffer and now they're shocked and dismayed that they're probably going to suffer too. I feel for everyone that has to share a country with people that would throw them to the wolves first chance they get while demanding unearned respect for themselves. But if I were religious, I'd tell these people to rot in hell.
Seriously, if sanity ever returns to the world, I hope that the lesson we walk away with is that right wingers, conservatives and religious fundies should never be allowed anywhere near positions of power again. Because when they have it, their whole aim is to uplift themselves and only themselves while fucking over everyone else in society.
Narrator: “it was exactly the fuck what they had voted for”.
- read by Morgan Freeman
Ron Howard, actually.
The meme is a reference to Arrested Development where Ron Howard is the narrator.
But now, you can read this... in Morgan, Freemans, voice.
No they aren't angry. They give zero fucks and just pull an RFK on Samoa. They will simply not to pay attention to "MSM" if it gets inconvenient, and any present change will be chalked up to Kamala.

Throwback to his first term when one of his supporters said "He's hurting the wrong people!"
I wonder if anyone has done a "where are they now?" on that guy and tracked him down and found out how he's voted since.
I believe it was a woman who said it. Either way, their motivation for supporting Trump seems to be to cause harm to people they believe deserve it, and the motivation hasn't changed.
With all due respect, this is exactly what you all signed up for you stupid fucking pieces of shit.
This is not only what you signed up for, but you signed the rest of us up for it too.
Thanks.
With all due respect
Which is about Zero.
"all due respect"
Not much respect is due here
Don’t worry, none was given.
Strange, because it’s EXACTLY what they signed up for.
No. This is exactly what they signed up for. WTAF did they think was going to happen?
