One day everyone will have been against this

Get fucked, Johnny come lately. That's all been obvious since 2015. You weren't brainwashed, you're just a Nazi who got conned.

This is what genuine intelligence looks like. This man was able to look inward, admit he was misled and made a mistake and tries to correct it while learning something in the process.

Too bad half the country is dumber than this.

The caller, who identified as Thomas from Hawaii, told host Taylor Popielarzthat he now regrets his votes for Trump.

“It’s hard for me to say this,” Thomas said. “But I think if I can open up about it in public that it might help others. I wanted to believe Trump was the real deal for a long time — even though I had doubts because I knew enough about his business history to think otherwise. But now I regret my support for him, and I should’ve known better. He’s making it plain as day. He’s a con man, a liar, doesn’t keep his promises. He’s in office all for himself and he doesn’t even try to hide his corruption anymore.”

Thomas added, “He’s the worst president we’ve ever had and he’s the most corrupt president we’ve ever had. I know it’s hard, it took me a while to be able to say that. Very difficult when you commit yourself to believing in somebody.

Popielarz asked Thomas whether he’d voted for Trump in 2016, 2020 and 2024 — and Thomas confirmed that he had. The host followed up by asking what was “the straw that broke the camel’s back” for Thomas.

“I don’t think it’s one thing, it’s been a cumulative process,” Thomas said. “And it’s gotten so blatant now…He was gonna lower prices on day one, he was gonna do this on day one, only he could fix all this stuff. And now I understand how somebody like Adolf Hitler was able to brainwash millions of people. I never I thought I’d see that again in my lifetime. But it’s happened, right? I thought we got past that, but we don’t learn from history.”

Sounds like a mostly reasonable person.

Yes, the Democrats will win a majority somewhere in November. They're currently up 14% over Republicans nationally and that is rig-proof, blue wave territory. I don't see them making any major changes though, and they're probably salivating at the thought of the money they can make for themselves now that it's okay to insider trade AND insider-gamble on crypto and prediction markets.

A few will give some memorable, impassioned speeches before pulling the lever to insider trade, though.

Their strategy of lying down (and/or collaborating) and letting Donald jump off a cliff has worked, and sadly, to the detriment of all. I wish these bastards had actually opposed something.

If you live in the US and have ever wondered what you would have done in the shoes of an equivalent German citizen leading up to the 30s, wonder no longer: you're doing it right now.

“Three time trump voter”

Shoulda just stopped right there.

Three. Times.

History was always there, ready to be picked up and used as a mirror. Trump has always been who he was. Cruelty, nationalism, and prejudice haven’t changed definitions. There were no secrets.

These douchenozzles are all the same. They were perfectly happy to let trump F everything up as long as it was everyone else getting F’d. As soon as it inconveniences them, they suddenly find some kind of righteous morality.

Better late than never. Next step is realising that Trump didn’t get where he is alone, and nothing would change if he were to die tomorrow. The problem is deeper than that.

"but we don’t learn from history"

Nah bitch, YOU don't learn. Don't try to lump me in with your inability to feel compassion or hold a coherent thought.

That's not going to be the key to forgiveness buddy. You don't get one at all in fact.

When Donny dies the mental breakdown that his cult will have will be insane.

For every 1 person turning a new leaf, there are 99 ex-republicans that will be “done with politics” while constantly talking shit about liberals and never taking accountability for their own actions.

We live in a democracy. When you vote for someone that does horrible things, that’s like hiring someone to do horrible things for you. They are “just following orders” from you, the voter.

73 year old Hawaii resident Richard Sniffer regrets voting repeatedly for Trump now that his gas prices are way higher.

Trump is like Hitler for even stupider people.
