“There’ll be people that they’ll DM me like, ‘You see what your boy’s doing? You voted for this.’ I’m like, ‘I voted for none of this,’” he said. “He’s doing the exact opposite of everything I voted for. I want him to stop the wars—he’s funding them. I want him to shrink spending, reduce the budget—he’s increasing it.”
No, buddy. You DID vote for this. You absolutely voted for ALL of this because everything Trump is doing now, he promised, and campaigned on. And you yourself noted he's a Lying Liar that Lies. So you absofuckinglutely voted for all of what's going on right now.
“When you feel like the status quo will do nothing and change nothing, you have way more of a longer leash for the outsiders’ ideas than you do the status quo’s ideas,” he said. “And I think that was the idea with Trump, who’s like, ‘Maybe he will stop these wars.’ No. ‘Maybe we will see what’s up with this Epstein s–t.’ No.”
Take it from somebody who grew up as the Shitgibbon did. He used you. Just like he's used everyone else. You thought he'd expose himself as being a kiddy-diddler? Take the legal risk of being jailed, losing his whole Teflon schtick? Fuck no, that's for the LITTLE people. Like you!!! And maybe you can wrap your head around this little fact. All politicians have their issues, mainly because the guy you pick is opposed by everyone else who wants the pie all to their own. But Trump is worse than most!
If any Trump voter was honest, they'd say "I didn't vote for this...to happen to me, my family, my friends." They damn well voted for it, with the expectation that it would only shit on "others".
I mean, he did tell them that he would only deport the baddies, or not cut Medicaid, or release the Epstein docs, or end wars instantly, or have 60 deals in 60 days, etc etc etc.
He lies and he’s famously good at getting certain people to believe his lies.
By now people should know it’s always Opposite Day with them, oh and there’s a book called Project 2025, all written down. Time to start reading for once and learn.
Well, you did actually. You just decided to ignore what everyone was warning you about and call it "fear mongering." People have been warning you since July of last year and you specifically chose to ignore it.
Since June 2015 that’s when he declared his first run for president. Anyone who knew anything about him could have told you what was going to happen. We had decades of info on his racist scamming ways.
I‘m sick of hearing people say this - It‘s exactly what they voted for. What I would prefer to hear them say is WHY they feel they made a mistake. What about Trumps rhetoric then is disconnected from his current deeds?
I suspect the usual reason is that it‘s impacted them personally and they didn‘t think it would. It‘s the reverse of the boy who cried wolf
"Maybe he will stop these wars." Fucking LOL, are you kidding me? He was literally campaigning on glassing Gaza and turning it into beachfront property for the wealthy. "Maybe we'll see what's up with this Epstein shit". The man was neck deep in Epstein shit. How many pictures of Trump and Epstein together over the years do you need? He's probably got more pictures of him with Epstein than he has of his own kids. "Seeing what's up with this Epstein shit" would mean him finding a nice new home on the sex offender registry.
You knew what he was like. You spent the entire election season stumping for him on your podcast. You helped create this. You don't get to play dumb and absolve yourself of responsibility for your role in allowing all of this to happen in the first place. Fuck you.
Deep down, I think this guy knows all those reasons are bullshit, too. But he uses them because he doesn't want to publicly admit the real reason -- he would never vote for anyone with a vagina.
We already had him in office for four years and it was a disaster. So what do these stupid fuckers do? VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN. I get the cultists who worship him doing that, they're thoroughly brainwashed, but there is NO excuse for anyone else to be surprised by this shit.
.... then later he will complain about all these things that he wil claim he didn't see coming. Maybe we should call Elon's new party the Not-See's....
I've been trying to figure out that channel's bias recently. Dude literally, "I've never voted Republican! I'm from Manhattan! My mom owns a dance studio- she's an immigrant!" I'm just more confused now.
I voted dem and am anti Trump, but can I ask if you feel the same way about Dems? If I voted for Harris and she continued to provide aid to Israel to bomb Gaza, did I technically vote for that?
This comes of as very "just asking questions", and I'm aware of that, but I hope you will take it as a good faith question because it is.
As a person that voted for Harris. Yes. And we should be putting pressure on her to condition any aid to Israel.
Meanwhile, with trump, we're too busy trying to keep all of our water reserves for crops from being dumped, and trying to keep US residents from being sent to extra-national slave torture prisons without due process to even think about having time to mount meaningful protests for what is happening in Gaza.
Many people took your words to heart and sat out, voted third party, or, worst of all, voted Shitgibbon. Now, not only are we funding Israel to bomb Gaza, we're planning on starting World War 3 with Iran. Stupid is as stupid does, and this is the biggest tent of stupid in the world.
Hm, I understand what you mean. Dems, yes, I’d feel the same way. This is the reason a vote shouldn’t be looked at as something you just choose to use when you feel like it. It’s a serious decision with very serious consequences. And it is also the reason a lot of people abstained. The choice was just disgusting, a lose-lose situation. So at the very least, when you use your vote, stand by it. Don’t come out crying when it starts to make you look bad in front of your friends. This Andrew guy, when he voted for who he did, already looked bad just by voting for Trump. So why did he vote? Because like many influencers and comedians who thought it was the cool thing to do at the time tested their influence and won. And now he’s sick of his guy making life worse and says he didn’t vote for it? Obviously because it’s making him look worse? No, he did vote for it. And it’s on him if he was ignorant at the time. So for anybody who did vote and is standing by their vote, mad respect, but that doesn’t make you a good person either. Just my two cents, I hope that made sense.
So the whole world is suffering, because he wilfully ignored every indicator that Trump would absolutely behave this way.
With any luck, someone who matters to him will be scooped by ICE. That way, he can also experience the intense fear and anxiety that comes from voting enthusiastically for tyranny.
Welcome these people with open arms. These are people that can be swayed and if you care about defeating fascism you should be interested in swaying them. You might enjoy dunking on them (which is fine) just as long as you're not actively pushing them away.

The easiest way is to enlist their involvement in dunking on the actual politicians, officials, and policymakers. A fascist movement relies heavily on a reluctant populace complying in advance, which is why little pieces of resistance can be effective against fascists. Humor, sarcasm, and outright mockery of the people giving the flimsy orders diminishes their power by persuading the public that there won't be consequences for those who ignore those orders.
It's not going to be enough by itself, but having the apolitical comedians turn against fascism is still a useful thing to have on our side.
No, dipshit, you voted for all of this - you were (in the most charitable case) just too fucking dumb and incurious to understand what the fuck you were voting for
In Trump's first campaign commercial back in 2015, he promised to "bomb Iran and take their oil." That's a direct quote of Trump's words that I will never forget because it was so shocking, at the time, for a politician to just say things like that.
Point is, more war was the first thing he promised. And we all had at least ten years to get wise to his bullshit.
That's why I'm not down on Fetterman's voters. Hell. I won't be down on them next General if the choice is him or a GQP shill. That's the thing about people like Susan Collins. At the end of the day, we have no leverage on her. She answers to the GQP, not to us. Fetterman knows he's leashed by the DNC. He is risking a lot stepping out of line. Committee assignments. Connections. After-Retirement positions. He keeps fucking around, his only play will be switching parties. Once he does that, he's not a Democrat anymore. Until then, however, he has to to deal with our pressure (and after, well, he'll have to deal with the GQP's pressure...and we'll see how much he's willing to throw away for power!)
The crazy part about Fetterman is that he wasn't tied down by the Democratic leadership. They backed McCormick, a pro-business centrist, during the senate primary, and they didn't want him as lieutenant governor before that. He was a progressive wildcard that touted his independence from the party. He was always pro-Israel, but he was also pro-healthcare for all, pro-marijuana legalization, supported human rights and a progressive tax code. His heel-turn has been shocking and baffling, and lost him most of his supporters. Fetterman could be primaried from the left or yhe right, and he will probably lose either way. He could switch parties, but there aren't enough batshit Republicans in PA to make up for his flaws.
He wants to argue that what he voted for was the end result he wanted. No shit. That's what we all vote for. We all vote for a better life. It's not a snap your fingers thing. You are ignoring the ??? Part of the underwear gnomes problem. He promised these actions and all people who know shit said these actions don't lead to that result.
It's like hiring a fitness instructor who says he will make you thin but eating snack cakes and laying in a recliner. Then you complain when you gain weight. Because you hired him to get healthy? No, you hired him to eat garbage and believed eating garbage would cause you to be healthier.
Depends on the boomers. My parents and all their friends are/were just fine when it came to their mental faculties. I'm not sure boomers are really much different than prior generations or the ones that followed...
Some of us grew up breathing in all the lead and still think guys like this are unbelievable idiots. Low-level lead poisoning may make you slightly stupider and more angry, but I really don't think it explains MAGA idiocy. In fact, it gives MAGAs an excuse they don't deserve. Their racist, reactionary, destructively macho attitudes are on them, not on lead.
The story that MAGAs are like this because of lead poisoning is just another version of the eternal hope that the next generation will see sense and fix things. It never works out that way. Each generation's assholes get the upper hand under capitalism. The MAGA oldies are particularly nasty and stupid not because of lead but because of how they lived most of their lives during capitalism's prosperous heyday of post-WW2 reconstruction, but the world is changing and they want to hang on to their privilege at everyone else's expense, even if it means fascism. It's their own selfishness, narrow-mindedness and wilful ignorance. We don't need to divert the blame to lead.
Trump isn't doing anything different than he did last time; the only change is scope.
This dipshit really thought that Trump would expose Epstein's clients even though he wished Ghislane Maxwell well? You have to be a special kind of stupid to fall for that.
