Trump is "the swamp," you morons.
And his fucking cronies.
As one of my former coworkers said to me a long time ago: he's the big orange swamp monster.
Gen-Z men have bad judgment
I ,can, they complain aniut a "male loneliness epidemic" that they themselves have created by being deplorable pieces of ahitmto women and minorities. They can get fucked.
Duped? Fucking shitbags.
Nobody was duped, bamboozled, tricked, or swindled into voted for Trump.
People knew what Trump was about and chose that.
For real. The photos and videos with and quotes about Epstein, the interviews with Stern talking about walking into changing rooms, grabbing 'em by the pussy, all this existed outside of the Epstein files.
He bankrupted business after business but stayed afloat by being a con-man, and red-state suckers flooded his rallies to juice up on his low IQ rhetoric.
Now he's filling his vault with cryptoscam cash from his idiot base buying memecoins and third-rate junk watches, so that his insipid sons can continue the family business of groping, scamming and conning. Trump has replaced Reagan as the new face of the GOP and they LOVE it, because they get to say how much they hate immigrants out loud.
They're shirking responsibility. It's typical. They gloated the whole way about knowing exactly what they're vote for.
Gen Z "men" voted for Trump because they're racist sexist homophobic pieces of shit like their fathers are.
Gen Z was born 1996-2009, the oldest were 19 years old in 2016 when Trump campaigned to drain the swamp, which famously didnt work.
Only racists and fascists voted for him after 2016. He was surprisingly open about all the terrible things that have happened so far in his second term while on the campaign trail. Although I never listened to his campaign ramblings (nor did a large chunk of his crowd), I didn't see reports about the drain the swamp slogan after the first term.
How did it take them 9 years to feel duped?
How did it take them 9 years to feel duped?
These idiots live in sewer-like information ecosystems.
Only racists and fascists voted for him after 2016
Not only. I know people who don't fall into either of those groups. They were just gullible and stupid. Sure they were perhaps pressured by someone that falls into the first group (the bigots). Never underestimate peoples proclivity for stupidity.
Most recent election had zero Drain the Swamp bullshit. Trump is the swamp.
USA today is a rightwing propaganda rag and this is rightwing propaganda
"my peers aren't country club conservatives" shut the fuck up you are literally writing for the largest syndicated colonial newspaper network
Bullshit.
They are trying to save face, however they'll still vote for the dregs of humanity next time.
Am Gen Z male and I want nothing to do with this fascist treacherous dipshit.
Maybe its a good thing I didn't make any friends, at least I won't have any of my peers stab me in the back.
Alternate take. Make friends, educate them, turn them into comrades.
Human nature is a fucking bitch. You can scream till your face turns blue and your average milquetoast American will cognitive dissonance their way back to comfort. That's why the conservatives don't care about violating tne constituton. People aren't a hyper evolved species. We were just apes who learned to drive and do taxes. Of course the population is full of monkey brains wired to make decisions on vibes, that's how we got here. Empathy is just an evolutionary trait your brain decided was convenient for survival in a group, and some people literally just aren't capable of giving a shit.
My point is that no amount of education can force someone to empathize and it's so god damn frustrating.
I guess humans aren't domesticated yet.
Gen Z. Too young to have experienced or lived through the Reagan era lies and the Bush lies along with the courting of right-wing fringe politics, from the religious wingnuts to the Tea Partiers. Let’s give conservatism another go! Surely it’ll work this time.
Can't wait to hear about people too young to remember Trump voting against their interests in 20 years or so.
Then again, maybe voting won't be a thing in the USA at that point.
You’ll get the token candidate and Barron will get 98.5% of the vote. Occasional beatings and investigations into the precincts that get too high of an opposition vote %.
Yup Gen Z men are kinda naive.
Oh noez, are a lot of our voting public stupid fucking idiots? What a shocker.
Vanishingly small percentage of fucking idiots later realize they've been conned. Film at 11.

Seriously. For all the bitchinv about boomers, it was gen z and millenials that gave us Trump. Xers didn't want him and the boomers aren't as large a population slice as they once were
But y'know.. Old....
I'm not American so I can only go based off statistics, but from what I can find, the opposite is true?
.
But y'know, shakes fist
those darn kids are at it again.
Well that graph shows percentages but not real numbers tbf
Yep. It's also from trumps camp. You know the guy who just fired the director for a bad jobs report
Gen x is fed jp with politics. Get offline GI talk to real people. People you DONG know. You'll see
But yknow, big judgmental leaps of silliness.....
Additional info edit:
Tufts University
"About 56% of young men, a demographic Trump’s campaign was vocal about trying to woo, said they voted for the former president this year, a flip from the 56% who voted for Joe Biden four years ago. Young women, while overall favoring Harris, also took steps toward Trump, moving from 33% in 2020 to 40% in 2024."
Now, to be fair, more if the younger generations also backed Harris.
Now we look and see that there are larger Millenial and zoomer populations than boomers and gen xers
You see his this actually works?
56% of gen x voter is stil a smaller group than the gen z and millenials voting volume for trump.
It is what if is.
Ah so you're suggesting the numbers are falsified?
I Definitely wouldn't put that past the maga lot, they haven't said a single truth since they took the whitehouse; but this was as soon as the results were announced (Nov 6 from what I can tell), so i was just banking on their laziness, in the sense that they would just pull the graph from AP or somewhere like that.
Are you able to link us to the figures that show gen x voted for predominantly Harris? All the ones I find seems to corroborate this trend of predominantly trump supporters.
IE the BBC, which aren't exactly trumps biggest supporters:
I also found the source of the image used by whoever that maga loon I originally linked is, it seems to be from NBS news. I know little of their integrity as a news outlet, but here is the source nonetheless:
No. I backed up what I said with the study by tufts. Have a nice day
I'm suggesting that the physical number of voters who supported Trump were more skewed younger than older simply because of population demographics.
Hold on. I'll get you the link. Missed that question apologies
Here ya go.
well, they're learning. that's a good thing
Have you met a Trumper that learned their lesson? They are cooked.
I'll believe it when I see it.
