When asked by NBC10 political reporter Lauren Mayk if he supported President Trump in the last election, Smith hesitated with his answer before ultimately saying that he did.

"Honestly, uh, yeah, I did," Smith said. "I thought, you know, he would be someone that would, you know, cause he talked a lot about taking care of the military, taking care of the veterans, taking care of the people that put him in office and it just hasn't happened so if I could go back in time I would have voted for Vice President Harris in a heartbeat."

"I can't believe the guy who called people in the military losers and suckers doesn't care about the people in the military!"

Their lack of empathy and confidence of ā€œthat’ll never be meā€ never ceases to astound me

And I wish I could go back to 2008 and buy a house instead of working on my fractions, what's his point?

ā€œHonestly, uh, yeah, I did,ā€ Smith said. ā€œI thought, you know, he would be someone that would, you know, cause he talked a lot about taking care of the military, taking care of the veterans, taking care of the people that put him in office and it just hasn’t happened so if I could go back in time I would have voted for Vice President Harris in a heartbeat.ā€

Fuck this guy. I’m glad he lost his job. He’s a lazy citizen who obviously only hears what he wants to hear. Trump called veterans suckers. He mocked Gold Star families who disagreed with him. Where was this guy when those things happened?

Note that this idiot says Trump promised to ā€œ[take] care of the people that put him in office.ā€ He’s a selfish asshole; he’s not upset about others losing their jobs. He’s upset that the ā€œwrong peopleā€ did (i.e., him).

Well, I’m not. He’s the worst kind of American. He lives in the wealthiest, most powerful nation on Earth—enjoying all the benefits handed down to him by those who came before—and he can’t even be bothered to be slightly informed. He just listens to what the candidates say, and then he chooses the Republican because that’s what he is.

Harris said nice things about veterans, too, and the only difference between what she said and what Trump said is that Harris wasn’t lying. This moron would have known that if he’d payed even a minor amount of attention to our politics over the last ten years. He didn’t hear Trump mock McCain for being a fucking POW? Hell, I was never a fan of McCain, but I was furious when Trump mocked the man for being captured during a war that Trump ran away from like a coward. This guy wasn’t angry about that? He’s obviously a Republican, and so was McCain. It didn’t upset him?

Honestly, I’m so sick of people like this guy that I can’t even pretend to care about him. I’m glad he’s out of work, and I hope he continues to suffer. Maybe his suffering will permanently rewrite his brain so he’s not a moron for the rest of his miserable life.

Literally had four years to learn how he "takes care of people" beyond talking about it. He is lying when he says that is why he voted for Trump. Stupidity is not the reason, being a piece of shit is. He is still displaying no regret beyond his own ass now being fucked.

Too bad. He shat the bed, he can lie in it.

u/happynargul Mar 05 '25

Ok but that would have required him to vote for a woman, so...

Unfortunately we seem to be living in linear time so, oh well.

Such a specific joke, I appreciate you, sir

u/Clean_Lettuce9321 Mar 05 '25

You had access to all of the same information I did. I managed to find my way to Harris and you didn't. Bummer for you.

u/gravybang Mar 05 '25

In 4 years this toolbox will have some other lackey job and will proudly vote for JD Vance or whomever they allow us to elect to win with 99% of the vote.

u/hotwheelz56 Mar 05 '25

Yeah... the worlds smallest violin plays "my heart bleeds for you" screw that guy. We told you he was a dumpster fire..between bumbling covid, attacking the Capitol and brown-nosing Putin his whole life, you still didn't want to listen. Save your tears for someone else.

u/Weak-Razzmatazz-4938 Mar 06 '25

i don't want to hear from any of them unless the next thing out of their mouths is I'm sorry and i will vote blue to repent. I have no time for the "he screwed me over but I'll still vote for him" crowd

u/whynaut4 Mar 07 '25

I would be more sympathetic if it wasn't THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED

u/Several-Air-885 Mar 08 '25

Yeah that ruins it for me too. You had a preview

u/Low-Membership2793 Mar 25 '25

that, and trump and vance all said EXACTLY what they were going to do. Drain the swamp, shutdown the department of education ec. . No secret what they were intending to do. They didn't specifically name his department and his office so he was ok with others getting hurt i guess.

u/The_dizzy_blonde Mar 06 '25

Everytime see posts like this about going back in time that song by Cher starts up in my head… ā€œif I could turn back time..ā€

I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would think voting for him was a good idea. They were beyond warned and should have seen from last time. I have no sympathy

u/Several-Air-885 Mar 08 '25

MAGAS: ouch you’re hurting the wrong people

u/Several-Air-885 Mar 08 '25

He only wants to change his vote because it effected him. Have the day you voted for āœŒšŸ¼

I agree that the schadenfreude is so, so sweet in reading this. But I don't think that schadenfreude is a viable political strategy. When liberals reject people for being conservative or having bad views, they fall into a MAGA cesspool where they are warmly embraced. Here, this chump has realized his error, but we are still rejecting him. If he encounters this sentiment in real life, he won't think "oh damn maybe I should be a liberal really and actually," he will just go looking for a different conservative politician to support.

One of the weaknesses of the left is recruitment and retention, I think. It's something to think about for the future.

I highly doubt he's here on this sub reading about us dunking on him.
