A Reddit comment by user “Damichia480” in the “Conservative” subreddit reads:

It too late he straight up broke every campaign promise.

“No new wars” Bombed iran and is about to fund Urkaine like Biden did

“Mass deportation” not enough and is keeping the illegal immigrants working as slaves and H1B

“I will release the Epstien files” “The flies on my desk” - Pam Bondi. Recanted everything he said and say there no flies and Republicans BLOCKED the release

Patel was hired to take care of the deep state but he is no different from them

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

RIP MAGA we been terribly lied to and betrayed by the people that shouldve served us but they devolved into being part of the establishment.

      Obama actually deported more than trump, and Trump won’t be able to catch his numbers. Trump is just doing it in an abominable fashion.

        I think that’s because Obama was turning people away at border crossings which count as deportations

        That’s what I have read was the reason his numbers were so high

        Not that I agree with it either way but there’s a big difference between that and the suffering being inflicted by Trump’s policies

      That’s because the person wants the horrible things to happen and is just mad that Trump isn’t following through on the horrible stuff they care about.

    I like how they think voting for people who most benefit from the system and who the system is made for and modelled after was never the mistake. Those people just weren’t strong enpugh, somehow, to be corrupted by that system.

      My main thought about all of this is that they denounce dear leader orange small hands and then try to hide among the masses again. Zero accountability for J6, zero for backing a rapist conman. Life as normal. At least when they worn the stupid red hats, it was easy to spot them and avoid them like the plague.

        I hate to say bit, but yes, they were very good. There’s a fine line to walk when turning a functional democracy into a totalitarian fascist state. It was obvious to roughly half the population, but the other half bought the lie. It’s not easy to keep that many people hoodwinked when there’s a nearly equal number screaming the obvious. They did just enough, but didn’t go far enough to tip the scales against them. Until now anyway.

        I really really hope that this is the “new generation” of Republicans (the Vances, the Johnsons, the Hegseths) that could have taken it to the finish line that their predecessors (like McConnell) have spent their lives patiently moving the pieces to only to lose it all because these greedy idiots are speed-running the last mile and tipping the scales. Fingers crossed.

              WSJ article dropping soon, and Trump just said he won’t appoint a special prosecutor. He will tweet something stupid again soon he can’t help himself.

              Arguably, you may have already lost that bet, or close to it. Depends on how you measure the results. Trump’s approval rating this week is 41%, which is 1.6 points down from last week. 5% of 41% is about 2 points.

              This is one of those issues where people won’t come back when they leave.

          Stay cracked. It may take years to work out, though.

          No, cults do not have permanent control over peoples minds. People do leave. When there’s big events like this that expose problems in the group, lots of people towards the edges will take off. Those who remain are the really devoted ones. It may take decades or even centuries to truly disappear (there’s still a few Shakers out there), but MAGA doesn’t have to shrink that much before it’s no longer a meaningful political force.

      Right, hundreds of goons daily attacking pretty much any Latino they see, including U.S. citizens and people ‘trying to do it the right way’ and building a concentration camp in the swamp- but that’s not enough for these bigoted assholes.

      Honestly it’s an unreasonable expectation to expect all voters to be excellent judges of character, or even understanding enough about practicalities to identify the better of two bad options. Even if these people had access to better information, would they process it correctly? I can be somewhat understanding of folks who were tricked by these lies given the context that they live in.

      Something has to cause the GOP to die to get out of this.

        Calling them weak seems to have upset some of them:

        Weak? Hardly. Let me remind you we had to put up with 4 years of Biden. We campaigned. Some of us supportd you in 2016, 2020 and 2024. We stood in long lines at your rallies. Sometimes hours before. Sacrificed out time to vote for you. We lost families and friends for our political views over our support for you. We have been name called. Ridiculed. Banned. Censored. We been through it all. We still get up in the morning. Go to work. Take care of our families our businesses or farms. You have no right to call us weak if we have questions or issues about a case involving sexual trafficking and abuse. Many of us know of people who have been raped or abused. That’s what’s concerning. And to down play it and laugh it off as just a hoax and calling us weak is down right insulting to us and victims.
