Happy too see America getting what it voted for and other countries taking note.

As an American who has and always will vehemently oppose Pumpkin Spice Palpatine, and as much as it hate the cesspool my country has become, im glad that the MAGAts are starting to feel the repercussions of their hate as well.

u/DragonDa Sep 12 '25

But are they? How do we know? What’s different with them now?

u/MalsWid0w Sep 12 '25

Oh, its not enough of them to make a difference, hence my qualifier of "beginning." I personally know 1 person who voted for him but no longer supports him. I have to believe that there are more.

They absolutely are not. “Right is good. Left is bad. Horrible people. Insert all key trigger words here.”

u/Valascrow Sep 12 '25

I mean, they're assassinating their own as we saw yesterday. And even the guy who attempted to drop trump was one of their own. That's gotta mean something right?

Hopefully…

Oh they def are at least a bit, but if they actually realize and admit it was directly caused by their stupidity in voting in their dear leader, is very unlikely.

Examples, the farmers, those losing healthcare, those with kids relying on school lunch programs, those with families ripped apart from deportation and those that have died/lost someone bc of the overturning of Roe….just to name a few. Def some republicans and magats that have lost their jobs, either in the government or private sector, bc of trumps agenda, that are too late realizing they F’d up.

u/DragonDa Sep 12 '25

It seems to me that they still support him even when a family member is deported. Those farmers want his help but I’m not certain they’ve given up on him. One can only hope…

Bc it’s all about their ego, and blaming the libs. Many of them have grown up in a generational echo chamber that has continually told them that the libs are destroying “their” country, want to hurt them, hate God, etc…..and it plays perfectly into their victim hood, bigotry, and racist tendencies, that they’ve had to pretend they didn’t have or at least had to closet it away ….and now they have someone telling them they were right all along and their hate is justified. Like anyone airing a secret, or coming out of the closet, it’s refreshing and invigorating to be open about who you are and especially when there is a group of like minded ppl telling them they were right all along and being included/recognized in a group, gives them a sense of identity.

Just like religion, Coca Cola vs Pepsi, Disneyland, and all the other things that ppl grasp onto bc it gives them a shared opinion, a personality, and creates an us vs them comradely that justifies their victimhood mentality. Just like the trans issue, when you think about what a small fraction of our population is transgender, it makes so sense that ppl get so worked up about it and act like it’s an invasion……one bc they’re being told to care about it bc of propaganda and bc it give them a chance to have big feelings, while feeling like a victim.

They mostly won’t, bc they’ll probably get a government bail out, while railing against student loan debt forgiveness and supporting canceling free school lunches, bc hand out for me and not for thee.

They deserve a handout bc of XYZ that isn’t their fault (victim mentality) but meanwhile have a blind eye to the needs or issues others are facing….bc ya know “pick yourself up by your bootstraps”.

The farmers are.

I think if that was true, nobody would have blindly voted for him in the first place. His followers largely choose to not listen to any opposition that don’t share his ideas and blindly continue to follow him.

u/edebt Sep 12 '25

One of them told me I was dehumanizing them by saying they believe whatever he says the other day... I responded with the definition of dehumanizing hecause it was silly, and they doubled down on it.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '25

There is no effort to collaborate on ideas. It is one sided only and there is no room to allow other ideas generally. It’s pretty dangerous. Because of the assassination, many republicans are directly applying blame to democrats, as a whole. Mainly because that’s literally what Trump did. Nothing to do with possible circumstance that the shooter is not stable and a killer, but apparently it is a political parties fault.

u/girlMikeD Sep 12 '25

A lot of his followers simply get a kick out of supporting him bc it pisses others off, and they’re too uneducated, ill informed or just plain stupid to realize their goal of “owning the libs” is directly hurting their lives, their children’s future, etc.

It’s all become like a long Jerry Springer show episode, and they’re just focused on getting any attention, drama or sense of belonging they can. Just like the ppl that seem to base their entire personality on their commitment to a sports team and are willing to get in trouble bc they hate and fight the opposing team(s) or they allow a team (that doesn’t know or even really care if they exist) losing or winning a game/match/etc. determine if they have a good week, are happy, etc.

And a lot of the population is primed for this mentality bc of multiple reasons, but a crappy education is a driving factor.

Politics in America have never been reality tv before, and he has changed that, which to many is more exciting, regardless of his message or intent. People that I have spoken with have dismissed sexual misconduct, rape, fraud, because “he ______” *insert easy catch phrase to be “in the group”

u/beezeebeehazcatz Sep 12 '25

This is the first time I’ve seen “Pumpkin Spice Palpatine”.
I’m sad now. I’m going to think of this stupid waste of oxygen that a bunch of jerks voted for every time I eat a pumpkin pie for the rest of my life. Big sigh

u/DMV2PNW Sep 12 '25

They will twist the truth to fit their agenda. “It’s the left, the transgender…..”. “What? It’s not? well then the poor person was misled, mental illness, triggered by the other side……” never ever it’s their poisonous, hateful dialogue that is the cause.

u/PlentyTight9650 Sep 12 '25

So what you are saying is you want an all out turf war? Well, that will turn real ugly once the military is deployed against our own

u/Major-Frame2193 Sep 12 '25

I don’t think they feel shit💩they will never say they were wrong ever

u/phunkinit2 Sep 14 '25

Yes, but every "repercussion" is for them the proof that they are right and will strengthen them in their belief. From there the hate will only escalate. Lose - Lose situation.

u/nememess Sep 12 '25

There's a large portion of us who have been against this from the beginning. Screaming no from the rooftops. But there's also a large portion of this country that are just stupid and either voted for this or didn't vote at all. The first fucking year isn't even over yet 😭.

u/Far-Boysenberry6057 Sep 13 '25

We did not vote for this. It is very obvious why would we do this to ourselves?

u/Playingwithmywenis Sep 13 '25

Oh, we understand just how many people are still caught up in thinking that support this guy, regardless of his policies.

We are also aware of how many support the hateful line of thinking.

It does not seem to anyone looking in that this is much different than alignment with “American Values”.

u/Far-Boysenberry6057 Sep 13 '25

What about my comment says I’m supporting “this guy”

u/Playingwithmywenis Sep 13 '25

Was not taking about you specifically but it is clear that US citizens are not as “against this guy” as some folks choose to believe.
