    There was a story I read 10 years ago about a guy in Florida. He was at a beach, and there were several signs and fences, and warnings not to be on the beach because there were alligators in those waters.

    A policeman saw the guy, wearing a bathing suit, headed for the water. He yelled at the guy "NO! STOP! THERE ARE ALLIGATORS IN THAT WATER! IT’S MATING SEASON WHICH MEANS THEY’RE HIGHLY AGGRESSIVE RIGHT NOW!

    Dude yells back “FUCK THE ALLIGATORS!!!”

    Goes into the water and within 30 seconds is ripped to shreds in front of his wife and children. When his emotional wife tried yelling at the cop “WHY DIDN’T YOU RUN IN TO SAVE HIM???” The cop answered “I’m not going in that water. There’s alligators in there. It’s not even safe to have a lifeguard on this beach.”

    I bring that up so you’ll understand the reference I make here.

    I don’t feel bad for “Blacks for trump”. I feel zero empathy for them and the problems trump causes them. Not because they’re black, or some racist thing, but because they ignored the alligator signs. All the signs were there. All the signs were there. All the signs said it would be bad for them. They still went into the lake. Fuck em.

      Yup. I emphasize with every single person who was able to vote and voted Democrats, or those who were not eligible to vote. Everyone else? Especially if a minority who historically the R party have fucked over raw? Schadenfreude galore

      Beach? Alligators don’t like saltwater. They like lakes and rivers and such. Maybe he was swimming in a lake. Lakes wouldn’t have lifeguards.

      Also, anyone in Florida knows you don’t swim in lakes. You treat all bodies of water as if they have a gator in them.

      Granted, we’re talking about an idiot that would swim with alligators. So that part might be true, but a lot of this story is suspect to me.

        I think OP is misremembering a story where a drunk Texan jumps in a lake full of gators and promptly gets eaten.

        https://www.buzzfeed.com/thomas-golianopoulos/fuck-that-gator

        Not scared of gators as most around here are slightly smaller than me, won’t attack. But fuck me, a 10-FOOTER?!

        Saw one at the local swamp for the first time! Knew there had to be one in there but never got eyes on it.

      Just absolutely feasting, gorged on gullible idiots, who’ve spent the last near decade being increasingly belligerent and manipulative and gas lighting toward everyone not in their death cult.

      Too bad their idiocy will destroy much more than just themselves.

      What a shame.

      In other news, anyone wanna set up a hermancainaward style community for… Trump Regret Syndrome, or something like that?

      I do love me some schadenfreude when its derived from evil idiots.

      Weirdo party strategy. Play the good/bad to boost relevance and propel into the spotlight as an alternative or rallying point. No one would care or know about these people otherwise. No one here is stupid except those that follow the piper’s flute.

    you have to imagine they signed up to be token trump supporters, knowing they’d be invited on interviews both for their pre election support, and post election face eating. they wanted to be the circus. that’s all, nothing more, nothing deeper. and the media are happy to oblige.

    What a surprising turn of events! Who could’ve possibly predicted this? Are you telling me that the party founded on hate for anyone who isn’t a rich white guy is making things harder for whoever isn’t a rich white guy? Preposterous!

      I know this is nitpicky semantics and all, but the party technically was not founded on hate for anyone who isn’t a rich white guy, it was at one point the party of opposition to slavery but after the Civil War ended and reparations began the parties sort of shifted and became moderate and heavily bipartisan until that all changed in the 1960s when Democrat President Lindon B Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and political parties continued to polarize in the rise of the information era until reaching the peaks we’re currently at.

        Billionaire fascists have no friends, they have accomplices and pawns. Both are disposable once they served their purpose, much like the values and principles said billionaires pretend to stand for.
        The only thing they value is themselves and their innate disdain for everybody else.

        Yeah I meant the modern republican party. It’s kind of ironic that the party that freed the slaves is also the one that wants them back.

    The painful part is he didn’t even say anything like “I regret voting for you!” It was more like “I am strongly considering reducing the level of my support for you!”

    Not that Don needs his support anymore. I almost feel like one of the biggest messages to keep pushing is: “Don doesn’t care about you.” As far as I can find, he hasn’t even put out any comments on the pardoned Jan 6 rioter that was killed in a traffic stop.
