Well, it is actually. Literally everyone told you this would happen. The problem isn't that you "didn't vote for this," the problem is that you voted for something that never existed. Ask any Trump supporter what they voted for and 8 out of 10 times they have made up their own reason that specifically fits their viewpoint and even contradicts what Trump himself said he would do in most circumstances. In their anger towards "liberals" and "woke" they basically created their own idea of what Trump was based on nothing but vibes and then voted for that idea as if it was what he actually stood for. It's a religion and based on faith, not a political party. Like when "Christians" make shit up from the bible to fit their arguments even when it doesn't make any sense.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command"

It's starting to reach the point where I don't really find this funny anymore and I just find it sad. Kinda like when you see an older person get scammed out of thousands of dollars by one of those IRS or tech support scams. Fear makes people do stupid things. I get it, this is what they voted for. And yes, a lot of MAGA are legitimately Nazis and deserve all the hate they get and more. But some of these people just got scammed plain and simple. When I see someone get scammed out of their life savings I don't just laugh at them and say "I told you not to fall for those IRS scams. Jesus Christ you are so fucking dumb." No, I get pissed at the scammer that took advantage of them. Fuck all those people that are actual Nazis, though.

The fact that we see so many people having regret is a good thing. I'd rather have people that realized they fucked up then people that are doubling down and defending everything Trump is doing.

I'm not disagreeing with you about what a liberal is. Liberal politicians are garbage and are just as bad as the rest of them and are paid off by zionists. What I'm more interested in is that you seem to be talking about the politicians while I'm talking about the general population. The every day people that aren't leftists. It just seems counterproductive to make enemies of literally everyone else. When I say you'd only have about a hundred thousand people I meant against the the ideals of everyone else, not just the politcians and their disgusting behavior. Like, why are you picking a fight with me when I agree with the majority of what you are talking about?

I just find it silly to talk about rising up, bringing everyone together, defending the weak, and removing those in power while treating everyone that disagrees with you like garbage. At best with that attitude you'd get a revolution of a hundred thousand people if you are lucky because you pissed everyone else off. I've never met anyone that has changed their mind because someone insulted them. In fact it's usually to opposite as it usually pushes them further away.

Pointing out hypocrisy is perfectly reasonable, but if you can't even recognize your own hypocrisies in the process you're just an asshole. And at this point I'm moreso talking about the comments under this post as I don't find the post that innacurate, just misleading, which is what I was trying to point out. But everyone came out the gate ready to argue over the smallest details. I get it, there are definitely specific people that deserve all the criticism and hate that they get like those that flip flop when it benefits them. But it's pretty ridiculous to hear about "unity" while also posting memes that generalize an entire group of people based on vibes and not actually talking to the individual. That's, for the most part, how we ended up where we are today and it's counterproductive.

Anybody from any political standing could say the exact same thing that you just said but compare any other president within the last 100 years about any other topic and their point would still make sense. It's unhelpful because it doesn't further the conversation. All it does is point fingers and pit people against each other which is exactly what this comment section has turned into. And whether it was done intentionally or unintentionally, it's basically ragebait. Now we are all arguing in the comments about things in the past that we can't change and what peoples opinions were 15 years ago and why that has anything to do with people that are dying today.

Plus I think a very clear distinction is that Trump and his team are clearly enjoying it. I think it's disgusting no matter what, but if I had to choose between two murders I'd prefer the one that doesn't have fun doing it.

And this whole blame game bullshit never gets us anywhere. Yeah, sure, Obama did awful things. But what I wanna know is why we are still doing awful things? We could just, you know, not bomb random fucking people all over the world. People are dead and we're just arguing about who killed more people while more people continue to die. It's just so... Unhelpful.

When it comes to the general public I remember a lot of people being pissed off at Obama for the exact same shit. I was also in highschool when he was president so I don't really remember how I felt about it (it was almost half my lifetime ago) but I do remember it being unpopular. I probably had a pretty shitty opinion about it because it was like 15 years ago and I'm pretty sure everyone my age had shitty opinions. I often catch myself thinking about what it was like when Obama was president and I'm like "dude, you were basically 12 when he first got elected. You don't remember shit about what it was like."

If you are still defending it now I honestly don't know what to say. Especially the politicians that weren't basically children when this happened. Y'all were there and did nothing.
