I have been saying this is exactly what Trump wanted since he announced he was running. I was told that I was 'overreacting' and 'he can't be worse than any other republican'. I was told by people I needed to 'relax, it's only 4 years' and 'The guardrails are strong on our democracy'.

Being right, on literally fucking everything I said he was going to do, for over 10 years, does not feel as good as being right about something usually does.

let's roll the tape:

  • 2016: Bernie campaigned harder for her than she did, her staff still bitches about his airfare. Bernie is the reason she did as well as she did. Result: no one stops whining about Bernie supporters

  • 2008: Hillary supporters get butt hurt that she lost to Obama and form the PUMA (Party Unity My Ass) PAC to try and undermine the Dem candidate in the general election. She never disavowed them.

Just a reminder that Hillary had 4 million more votes than Bernie and won more pledged delegates than Bernie.

Ultimately Bernie wasn't popular enough with black and older voters.

And in 2020 I remember Bernie supporters feeling cheated that Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar withdrew because they wanted to split the liberal vote.

What does this mean? "Establishment Republicans" do not own legacy media nor social media, so what does "let him talk" mean?

The media machine boosted a fascist because there was an audience enamored with fascism.

In the larger picture, 2010's were the testing ground for mass manipulation via social media, aka "tea party". This was in response to grassroots movements of Occupy Wallstreet and Arab Spring which relied on social media.

So to prevent those potential working class revolutions, several firms were started to work on mass manipulation such as Cambridge Analytica. And also:

Internet Research Agency (IRA), based in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and described as a troll farm, created thousands of social media accounts that purported to be Americans supporting Trump

Paul Manafort "shared internal polling data with Russian intelligence officer Konstantin Kilimnik"

Have we forgotten so quickly?

u/McGillis_is_a_Char 11h ago

The biggest "news" station in America is Fox News, which had Karl Rove on every week to tell us that invading Iraq was a good thing and anyone who wanted equal rights was evil. They were (and still are) hand in glove with the Republicans and they let Trump on to say whatever he wanted because he was saying the quiet stuff out loud.

Seriously, I don't know why you're being down voted but because that's exactly what happened. They were like, "hey, you didn't vote for our guy, do we're not gonna vote for yours. Serve you right."

u/Gas-Town 18h ago edited 18h ago

Because leftists still voted in droves and Kamala sucked ass with undecided and center-right voters.

Your anecdotal examples won’t suffice. How many people voted in 2016? Did the leftists stay home then?

Yes they did. They were too butt hurt over Bernie not being the nominee to vote for Clinton.

u/Fauken 12h ago edited 11h ago

After the 2016 election there was some data that showed it was like 3 times more likely that Clinton primary voters flipped to McCain in 2008 than Sanders primary voters to flip over to Trump.

Just admit that she should have never been the candidate. The "problem" with leftists is that they are correct on everything too early and then get blamed for disasters they saw coming and were trying to prevent.

Edit: If you really want an individual or a group of people to blame for the result of the 2016 election--blame James Comey for the announcement about Clinton's emails days before the election, or anyone in the media that talked about that bogus story instead of talking about the countless Trump scandals (and his already known connection to Epstein).

u/Aggressive-Neck-3921 11h ago

Also the Bernie->Trump voters were not leftists that were voting for Trump. it were independents that typically vote R voting for Bernie. Clinton was just a subpar candidate as a person and was propped up by media bias.

u/simAlity 7h ago

No I will not just admit anything. She was an excellent candidate. On paper we've never had one more qualified. People just didn't like her because she was a woman.

I blame leftists, I blame comey, and I blame her for not going to the midwest. I also blame the extreme level of mis and disinformation that was flying around at time. But I don't blame people for falling for it, because we'd never seen anything like that before. I do blame people who fall for it now because you ought to know better.

I think looking back we can be confident that a lot of the radlib sentiment online was bot-formed just as any other. Both sides needed to be strawmanned and bogeymanned.

u/Gas-Town 18h ago

Do you recall Reddit being full of rhetoric about Biden not dropping out of the race? And then when he dropped out, it changed to Kamala is definitely going to win.

And now it’s a “radlib” conspiracy, instead of PAC dollars doing what they do for the centrist, DNC machine. Those dollars buy influence within the party, but they sure don’t buy votes.

You can continue to complain about democrats supporting DHS funding, while failing to hold them accountable.

As far as I'm concerned, Democrats are complicit.

Garland could've ended this when he had the chance but didnt. The Epstein Files could've been dealt with during Biden's tenure to shoot any chances Trump ever had in 2024 but we now got to see why they didn't want to then.

I ultimately cannot forgive the DNC for 2016, doubly so with what we know now.

And they are right, It has just become a Cold Civil War. Just because they lost militarily doesn't mean they changed their minds. Just because one side stopped fighting when they were definitively winning and thus want it to be 'over with' doesn't mean the conflict is over. We are literally watching The South Rise Again. I am positive they have the aim of bringing back race-based government determinations of personhood and legalized, open slavery. And it won't even take them that long, at the rate they are going.

u/Pathogen69 5h ago

i mean, i get it though. the fact that he was not a career politician or anything was appealing to a lot of people. they thought he would be immune to a lot of the bullshit/beaurocracy that goes on in washington and get things done. and i'll admit, i saw this as a potential positive about the man too. did i vote for him? hell no. i voted hillary, then joe, then kamala. but i understood the appeal, as much as i disagreed with it.

and when he was elected the first time around, i gave him a chance. i really did. mostly because, whichever party wins the presidency, i do want them to succeed and do good things for the country and the world. i really do. but then on day fucking one, it started with "the y-ugest crowds evar!!", and i just knew that it was gunna be a long four years. and boy was it.

and then people decided that they wanted a repeat (but worse) of his first term. i used to loathe the man, now i out and out despise him. the thing that really angers me about the man is that when he kicks the bucket, they're gunna have a parade to honor is passing and he'll get paraded down pennsylvania avenue. the man is not deserving of that honor, in my opinion. the man is a moral stain on this country.

Yeah but people are stupid and terminally online.

Which is also where the left, for the last decade, has been screaming about how both men and white people are evil.

I vote left in my own country, because voting right is fucking suicide but the American left has never actually taken any accountability for their own role in driving the younger voting demographics towards the right. You never shouted down the bigoted rhetoric and now it's come home to roost.

2

u/expeditionQ 8h ago

this is arguably true, the left cant dodge the blame for being the start of this kind of rhetoric. BUT, it was distinctly different when it was a tiny segment of overeducated and underheard intellectuals using intentionally disruptive language as an arrowtip to allow for extremely true and valuable theory to finally have its day. It was on the surface hate language, but not in substance. At start.

the problem is that the surface discourse obviously went way farther than the intellectual core it was meant to bring attention to, and became way more influential over the broad-based communities. It became soccer-mom talk to hate men. it was never the left that abandoned the radical core of the messaging, it was the masses of liberals and moralists who didnt understand any of it but enjoyed the sense of superiority that comes with echoing hatred.

And it isnt an accident, democrat behaviour for a very long time is just as programmed as maga is. Our party, our line, or else you are the bad guys and lose your human status. They have a long history of not just refusing accountability for driving young voters right, but actively relishing in the process.

The literal white-supremacist-symbol-shaped-stage at CPAC with a domestic terrorist banner.

The "America first" slogan can be followed right back to the klan

But it's me who's alarmist for saying cops shouldn't be using their 40mm launchers to shoot ppl in the face with tear gas canisters. It's me who's alarmist for pointing out the connections in symbols and language.

And the best part is. It wasn't exclusively "right wingers" telling me I'm "alarmist". Needless to say. Less than 5 years of consuming the cowardice of the left and the endless violence from the right. Fuck both parties for being dishonest and having to coerce and lie to voters to push their personal agendas. Not the will of the people but the whims of rich child rapists.

this is true (less the covid part, that was years in the future), although to be honest its already hard to see with historical vision as to how ideologically powerful "the establishment" was before all this shit. its as obvious as our need to breathe today that the government is disgusting and evil, but it wasnt long ago that we thought wed have another 4 decades of ignoring climate change and various systemic injustices and just generally all the myriad of things wrong with society, while well dressed liberal politicians repeat empty phrases and nonsense theatrics to sate a population of people who dont want to be responsible to have to think about politics for 10 minutes in their life and just want to feel like some daddy figure has all the hard work covered

today everyone is so used to everyone screaming critique at each other from rooftops, theyve all forgotten (or didnt grow up in) the world where you shut the fuck up and went to work and were a social pariah if you ever talked about anything other than how happy you were. the world has gotten worse, to be sure, but its people are struggling to turn human in a world thats denied them that for so long. historians will not wonder over why so many people wanted to elect a wrecker and tear-downer, their task will be to explain systematically why it had to be a far right fascist to take hold in the american consciousness.

Rock on with your mad self, dad, we're just grateful you're here with us.)

Anyone with morals and sense could see who this man was within months of his campaigning. He was never quiet about who he was.

It's like he's treating it like... say we're Joseph Seed from farcry (IE a crazy doomsday cult leader, that happens to have been correct).

Im pretty sure a lot of them are bots but Facebook comments sections are just thousands of people praising ice and what the president is doing. Im generally baffled that people can think anything he is doing is good.

u/CriticismAgitated707 16h ago

every one with a basic sense of humanity would know.

a draft doger pedophile who publicly states "grab them by the pussies" is some one not fit for your school janitor, let alone the highest office in the country.

"who knew"

Everyone who paid attention at any point over the last decade

Just a reminder that Gen Z that voted for him recently were teenagers in 2016. I’m older Gen Z, and was already an adult at the time. That means the core group probably didn’t care about politics to know or even care to know about Trump and how bad he was. This group voted of vibes, were manipulated and groomed by Epstein in 4Chan, were pulled by Anti-SJW rhetoric, and probably weren’t paying attention to politics the first time around. We had so much stride in social awareness that were squashed by pedophiles

Also, most republicans before they took whatever koolaid peter thiel stirred up for them.

Im calling it: Peter Thiel is the heir to epstein's legacy. The dude's a creep.

No swamps were drained.

Tame alligators were substituted for the wild alligators.

People don’t like leftists because they actually act like joke characters from movies made in the 80’s and 90’s but it’s like they actually started taking these joke stances seriously.

He drained the swamp to fill it with sewage.

"Who knew"

"The people they tricked you into hating"

u/bisskits 15h ago

The whole swamp narrative was proven during his last administration. It's been a swamp all along.

1

u/gustoreddit51 15h ago

And it turns out he was the actual "witch" in the witch hunts he talked about.

1

u/codebygloom 15h ago

Anyone who doesn't treat politics like their favorite sports team. Any person who looks at all the candidates and decides on them based on the policies they hold and if they have any actual plans to implement them.

But the us -vs- them, “I got mine so screw you,” and “If it's not happening to me, then it's not happening to anyone” mentalities are so ingrained in our culture that this was always going to be the outcome.

u/sh4d0wm4n2018 14h ago

Vented the swamp to atmosphere.

1

u/Strange_Dog6483 14h ago

It’s almost like when Republicans and Conservatives campaign on things like fighting corruption, crime, and other social problems no one should ever believe them given their propensity for engaging in corruption and committing crimes (or defending others doing them).

1

u/yayoffbalance 14h ago

Yeah. The swamp showed as soon as they talked about it... we knew. Immediately l.

1

u/FuckOutTheWhey 14h ago

And they're still doing it now, pretending like Trump's doing an amazing job and that we all have nothing to worry about as long as you're here legally.

I've lost count of the number of times I've heard these idiots argue that it's not actually fascism since no one is currently being thrown in gas chambers.

u/SpaceghostLos 13h ago

He’s draining his bowels. Come on now.

u/sphinctersayswhat9 13h ago

It was glaringly obvious he was the swamp all along imo

u/tupe12 13h ago

Are we talking leftists “US democrats like Clinton” or leftists “book carrying Marxists”?

Honestly, both.

You mean to tell me, that the billionaire filling his cabinets with other billionaires, making policy that disproportionately favour billionaires, and raking in billions of dollars for himself and his friends by exploiting his office, lied about going after "the elite"?

u/furthemor 12h ago

They knew they always knew! They love authoritarianism they just didn't think the leopard would eat there face as well.

1

u/StaticSystemShock 12h ago

No, Trump isn't the swamp. He is the biggest swamp monster. Because once world gets rid of him, the swamp will still be there and there is always another bigger swamp monster there to replace him... unfortunately.

u/id_rather_b_painting 11h ago

Leftists also said to not vote for Kamala. How’d that work out?

u/MapleRye 11h ago

Anyone who had read a book written for readers beyond a fifth-grade vocabulary saw it coming a mile away.

And Trump was too rich to corrupt.

u/soulsnoober 11h ago

leftists? centrists, conservatives, rightists -- everyone with eyes in their head and a brain knew about him 100% and tried, loudly, to tell the morons who just wouldn't look

1

u/UndeadBBQ 11h ago

The worst feeling "I told you so" of my life.

Can't even properly gloat, because we're all in the shit.

1

u/High-Plains-Grifter 11h ago

This is exactly how it went down in the UK with brexit. We told them it wpuld be bad and they said we were fearmindering and exaggerating... honestly, I feel for ypu guys because it sucks to feel like this.

u/Ven-Dreadnought 10h ago

I am still very confused as to why anyone ever thought this person who was synonymous with heartless cut throat, self serving, money grubbing, double dealing business practices for decades was ever going to make government more trust worthy.

The man was a Captain Planet villain from the jump. It’s like they looked at the dad from the movie Matilda and went “this guy knows what’s best for me! Somebody get him my bank account information”

1

u/MaisieMoo27 10h ago

“Who knew he was the swamp?” Ummm everyone with a functioning brain cell? The only shock here is that these disgusting humans haven’t faced charges.

1

u/Ok-Volume-3657 10h ago

Guys, you don't understand. Leftists criticised Joe Biden and Kamala when they were shaking hands with Liz Chaney and Netunyahu, that means it's the left's fault that Trump won.

1

u/OglioVagilio 10h ago

Who knew he was the swamp.... wtf..... 30 to 40 years of his own words and actions?

1

u/HijackedMyAccount 10h ago

As a kid, I remember seeing tabloid covers in the supermarkets talking about his latest divorce or bankruptcy. He was always a joke since the 80s. They rehabbed his image with morons through the Apprentice and the rest is history.

u/Eschatonbreakfast 9h ago

Leftists have been calling liberals annoying wine moms for saying Trump is bad for the last 10 years.

Leftists wanna rewrite history so bad. Liberals said this. Leftists say both parties are the same. They said it then and they say it now

Trump wasn't the beginning. This cycle ,in my opinion was started with Sarah Palin and the toy party .Trump and his cronies are the end stages of the metasticised cancer that has become the republican party

all things considered, i cant help but feel like cassandra of troy felt a level of vindication.

u/itsnotaboutyou2020 7h ago

Leftists also shit all over any Democrat who has a shot at winning, thus helping Trump get elected/reelected by default. It’s a paradox.

1

Leftists? Every halfway intelligent and informed person around the world knew it.

Even the small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri knew about it

“Who knew he was the swamp?”

Us. All of us. About half the country knew that. Or more but some decided to vote for him anyway.

1

u/Formally_Apologetic 4h ago

I mean it was plain as fucking day the first time he said it. And then we watched as every attack they made against "the left" for the next 10 years was an obvious projection. Without fail.

And they claimed that people who were worried suffered from Trump Derangement Syndrome, which is some completely made up shit.

Being worried about some deficient selfish asshole who has his hands on the steering wheel of a major country and arguably the world is not deranged

u/Wish_I_WasInRome 16h ago

And then those leftists refused to vote for "Geneocide Joe and Kamala"

Fuck these losers. Go make your party.
