Transcript:

I’ve been a loyal Trump supporter since 2016.

I lost a job, friendships, been smeared online, doxxed, and pressed charges on people who’ve stalked and harassed me for supporting him.

If Trump doesn’t want my support, because I care about the Epstein Files, then I’m done.

Bye.

    The part that chaps my ass about this is… The damage is already done. Trump can not get voted in again. He’s on his second term, of two max.

    So all of this shit is too little too late. You fucked up. You fucked everything up. And now you realize the guy is a piece of shit because he won’t release a list of rich people who are paedophiles and rapists? A list he’s very likely to be on?

    This is the line?

    Holy shit. Of all the terrible stuff he said he would do, and all of the terrible stuff he actually has done… And you fucks put him in the office again.

    And this is the point where you finally stop supporting him?

      The damage has been done, yes, but we can stop further damage. If MAGA finally turns on him for being a prolific pedo, we can roll the clock back on some of this stuff. I’m afraid they’re going to have to catch him live with his dick in a minor for his base to believe it, though.

        You can’t roll back the loss of 100 years of progress. Especially in the sciences since we’ve already lost a lot of the people, can’t roll back the loss of prestige, or the devaluation of the dollar, at least not easily.

        Can we though? We’ve never seen a sitting US president get thrown out of the job forcibly. Some were under investigation, or indicted, but stepped down voluntarily. The courts didn’t kick them out of the job.

        I do not believe, for a second, that Trump would ever be sensible enough to voluntarily step down. By the time they dragged him through the legal process of ending his term, his term would have ended anyways.

        Even if we started today, the time that he would still be in office, actively harming America and Americans, would not change. We are unable to stop him because there’s simply too much red tape involved; not that you could find someone to charge, and/or prosecute him… Which is a whole other problem.

        The damage is actively being done and getting worse. It will continue to get worse. And the only thing that could bring this insanity to a rapid conclusion is a radical and illegal act against the man himself. Honestly, I don’t expect anyone to be able to “Luigi” Trump.

      Honestly, I’m a bit relieved at the current situation, because I wasn’t nearly as certain he was done. With incidents like January 6th, all the claims of voter fraud, his clear abuse of systems like presidential pardons and executive orders, I really thought Trump had a genuine chance of overturning the 2-term limit and twisting the US into a bona fide dictatorship.

      I’m relieved to see his astounding incompetence finally reaping results in his polling numbers again and again, because it’s breaking the spell he seemed to have over half the country. Hell, it’s even breaking the allure of fascism in the elections of other countries at this point. His gross incompetence during this presidency is single-handedly moving the whole world a little more to the left.

        You overestimate his supporters long term memory. You’re still only 6 months in, still 3.5 years left to go. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

      The closest I could say to being loyal would be AOC and Bernie, since I agree with most of their political stances and the things I do disagree with them on is mostly what I consider non-issues. But I’m definitely not running around waving their flag or wearing a big dumb hat to label myself, and certainly not vehemently defending any political blunder they might make.

      I love Bernie. While I don’t agree with him on everything, he’s consistently been on the moral right side of most issues. Here he is being arrested for protesting segregation in 1963:

      However. If he did even 1% of the things Trump did, I would call him out for it, demand he do better, and support his primary challengers if not. Unconditional loyalty to a politician doesn’t keep them in check, and actually harms us all…

    “I lost a job, friendships, been smeared online, doxxed, and pressed charges on people who’ve stalked and harassed me for supporting him.”

    The epitome of the leftist hatred that thinks they’re justified in ruining a person’s life just because of different beliefs, and then the irony of the outcome. Like the site which lists every Tesla owner that harassed and doxxed them until they sold their Teslas.

    And all that had to be done was to wait it out. Same people who ridicule the “both sides” approach but know that “both sides” are on the Epstein list.

    Left and Right are both corrupt, but we have to vote for the lesser of the two evils every term. What’s the point of the declaration of Independence then if we the people can’t protect our sovereignty from a tyrannical government lol

    That’s alright. AOC will be the answer in 2028. Just because she’s “not Trump”.
