This. This is the key. The dyed in the wool MAGAs won’t care because they won’t ever admit that they’re wrong, but there are lots and lots of Trump voters out there who, as you said, pay little to no attention to politics until right before the election. Those are the folks who are going to be the most surprised.

Yup, the leopards ate my face subreddit is going to be busy for the next 4 years with “I voted for Trump but didn’t think he’d do [insert policy proposal he’s been explicitly campaigning on for a decade].

The millions that didn’t bother to vote… I hope the leopard eats their face first, before munching on Maga faces.

C'mon man, it's all about freedom of choice whether you vote against your own best interests or not vote at all.

That's what makes America great :giggle:

I seriously doubt that any of these idiot cultists regret their vote. They won't even regret it when the leopards are having a second helping of their faces either. Fuck 'em all.

The county in KY that I live in has had substantial improvements in infrastructure, jobs coming to the county via it's small manufacturing park being able to expand, numerous small businesses opening... in the last four years, yet it went to Trump 81% - 18%.

There is no immigrant invasion of the country or any counties around it. But the farmers in the county don't mind employing illegals for cheap seasonal labor and everyone is fine with that.

There are no trans athletes trying to play sports in the county or surrounding counties. Would guarantee you that 99.9% of the residents in the county have never even met a trans person.

There have been 2 or 3 bridges replaced and repairs made to others. Miles of new road laid down all over the country (you couldn't go anywhere without running into a road crew). A new state of the art elementary school is currently under construction and the other schools in the county have been given facelifts and expanded.

For the first time in forever, a few small manufacturing business have opened up shop in the county and provided local jobs. Unemployment is at lows the county hasn't seen since the 70's, when there was a large sewing factory and a couple other manufacturing businesses providing jobs before they closed. Wages in the county have increased at a rate higher than the national average.

Numerous new locally owned eateries have opened up and stay packed full with people. And eating at them isn't cheap. What you'd pay for a breakfast plate at one of these places would feed a few people if you used that money to buy the same stuff at a grocery store.

The floundering county fair has been revamped with the help of donations from local businesses and has seen it's biggest crowds ever the past two years. I'm talking about vehicles lined up for a good mile or more in both directions to get into the fair. This despite the prices to get into the fair, ride the rides .. all going up significantly.

Home construction has boomed in the county and shows no signs of slowing down. Of course this has pissed off a lot of folks who don't like these new subdivisions coming to their quiet little areas. They use the 'we like to know who our neighbors are' defense.

And this isn't recent, but the ACA reduced the number of uninsured from 30+ percent to around 10%.

And the people here see all this growth in the county and talk about how great it is (well, except the housing thing). But the county decided all that wasn't enough and voted for "change." Smgdh

And I'm sure that this is indictive of countless counties across the country. Basically, we're getting fucked by all the idiots that the GOP has brainwashed into voting against their own self interest.

This x1000. Thank you for providing a dose of reality. All politics in America have become identity politics.

It’s incredible to me that Trump has been able to accomplish all of this in just a week since he won the election.

Putin doesn't care if the US becomes like Russia. He just wants the US weak and divided. And his campaign in that regard has been extremely successful. There's no realistic scenario in which the US can be conquered from the outside, but it absolutely can tear itself apart from the inside. That's what Putin believes he can accomplish.

There would be a point he would start to try to help the democrats (hell it could be in 2026) just to make more division and chaos.

I don’t think he cares what destroys the US from within, but he sees Trump as an opportunity. Appealing to Trump’s desire to be a kleptocrat is the easiest way to weaken the US. It motivates Trump and Putin has experience in how to become one.

Kleptocracy isn’t the goal but it would achieve the goal.
 
A bit off-topic but relevant to this thread:

I think I always misinterpreted the meaning of "leopards at my face". When I first heard it, I had mental images of the lady who had an orangutan as a pet (a stupid decision) and it ate her face (a consequence that is obvious to everyone except her). So that is how I interpreted that phrase and of course being harmed by a leopard is more obvious than an orangutan.

Upon reading more, the point is that the person unleashes a leopard on the public (supports cruelty) and then is surprised to find out that the leopard turned on them too.

I think both interpretation could work and sometimes one works more than the other but the second one definitely makes sense. Just a random thought as I am trying to go to sleep.
