Well that explains why Gen Z women would rather use a vibrator than sleep with them.

Not just Gen Z 😘✊🙂‍↔️

As a happily married Millenial whose wife and I can't keep our hands off each other.....it's not that fucking hard to not be a piece of shit. These Gen Z men have no one to blame but themselves.

What is this correction? What are you trying to correct?

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

Stupid fucking people. You got what you voted for, and your fucked us all over in the process.

[-] SoupBrick@pawb.social 8 points 1 week ago

If only there were signs 😞

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I mean it's not like there was a concrete example of him promising to drain the swamp and shown concrete proof of his results before, how could they have known...

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

I'm thinking if they saw Trump's record and still voted for him, this isn't gonna be the first time they get duped.

[-] simplejack@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

IMHO, people hyper fixated on the first couple years of Trump 1 where the economy was ok, he had experienced government officials putting up guardrails, and he coasting on what past administrations put in place.

They thought Trump’s was blowing bow air and they thought they were going to get 2017 again.

They are not getting 2017.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

And also forget that little thing known as COVID-19...

[-] simplejack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I wouldn’t be surprised if, given the rich disinformation landscape in America, covid was destined to be an utter shit show in the USA.

Trump sure as shit didn’t help.

[-] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

What???

They feel duped? We been knew Trump was in kahoots with him. He's a sexual predator, a liar, and a shitty business man. I feel like saying you've been "duped" shifts blame. You were not duped, you just didn't realize you'd have to suffer with the rest of us, LIKE WE FUCKING TOLD YOU. Admit you made a selfish, shitty decision and do better.

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

If their only source of media was manosphere podcasts or FOX News, I can absolutely believe they were duped. It still doesn't absolve them of being regessive dumbasses that lack critical thinking skills, though.

[-] blattrules@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Weird, they were old enough to remember he didn’t live up to that campaign promise in his first term and just ended up swamping the drain even more. Did they think he was just going to do a total about face on his corruption in his second term?

[-] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

My peers are not your rich country club conservatives. They are scrappy guys who liked Trump because he wasn’t polished or predictable. To them, he was a rebel outsider who would fight “the swamp” with all he had. I remember heated lunchroom debates where they’d argue about whether or not he could truly upend our system and its backers.

What a bunch of fucking losers.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago

"Predictable" is quite literally the one quality you want the leader of the biggest military on the planet to have.

[-] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Hey, if you support a syphilitic pedophile rapist lying grifter, you deserve all the shit he unleashes on you.

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Dumb fucks.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

To be fair, thats only because those voters are deeply stupid.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 week ago

There's no reason to believe trump would do anything good. The republican party is just full of bad ideas. What kind of false reality are these people living in?

[-] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This is their after the fact justification. You are entirely correct. Anyone with functioning eyeballs and the ability to put two brain cells together knew he wasn't going to drain any fucking swamp or be making any fucking thing better.

2016 Trump voters I will give benefit of the doubt to. If you voted Trump in 2020 you knew what you were getting, and if you voted Trump in 2024 you even had a road map.

There is nothing I want to hear from these apologetic Trump voters besides "Yes, I was some combination of racist, hateful, and ignorant, and now the entire nation is suffering for my bullshit." There is no way they didn't know what they were subjecting the nation to, and I will not pretend that somehow they didn't. Don't want a Trump voter as a friend, and wish I could boot them out of my family. I sure as hell am not going to entertain their fucking platitudes.

Trump declined to release the Epstein files because he said it would falsely incriminate innocent people. But that has left them wondering: Is Trump just the swamp?

YES, FUCKING YES. HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE SWAMP. And the fact that this is the moment where you are wondering this proves my point above. Everything up to now was all good.

This whole turnabout is a personal one for my friends. They didn’t like Trump because he was a Republican; they liked him because he would be a “disrupter in chief.”

TURNABOUT??!! He has been the same person literally the entire time.

OMFG I think I have just realized. The only way out of this is if we all pretend we swallow this bullshit from bashful Trump voters, isn't it?

Look at this shit:

They wonder: Is Trump just a showman who lied to us and deceived us this whole time?

Entirely too credible, too wide eyed. This article and articles like it are just another kind of ruse. One where we all pretend we haven't learned something dark and horrible about 77 million of our fellow citizens, so we can throw them a bone after what they have voted in for all the rest of us. 🤮

Where do they go now? One obvious possibility is to the Democratic Party. But Democratic leaders would need to do more than act like they care about people like my friends. They need to offer a clear, transparent alternative that can successfully brand Democrats as more honest and authentic.

So the problem isn't Trump folks, and it's not Trump voters, either. Republicans? Nah. It's actually Democrats. Huh.

Oh Jesus. The author thinks all this is normal.

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

This was all public knowledge before the election.

But I guess you didn’t hear about that on TikTok and YouTube shorts.

Gen-Z men have bad judgment

[-] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I mean, they complain about a "male loneliness epidemic" that they themselves have created by being deplorable pieces of ahitm to women and minorities. They can get fucked.

[-] JokeDeity@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago

Gen Z "men" voted for Trump because they're racist sexist homophobic pieces of shit like their fathers are.

[-] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Their fathers were absent. Andrew Tate raised them.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 week ago

This is an opportunity for organizers. Trump is teaching them a valuable lesson and we should be there to help them take it further.
