Another Trumper full of regret.
https://gothamist.com/news/why-many-asian-american-trump-voters-chose-zohran-mamdani-in-nycs-primary
"I liked his policies, mainly his support for education and affordable housing, said Shirley Wong, 70, of Bensonhurst, referring to Mamdani. “He seems to listen to us.”
But less than a year ago, Wong cast her ballot for Trump. She cited the influx of migrants in her neighborhood, as well as the cost of living under President Joe Biden. But now, Wong said she regretted voting for Trump, citing the Big Beautiful Bill’s projected cuts to Medicaid
You must log in or # to comment.
at least she’s realized and admits her mistake and changed her voting patterns. a huge portion will never have that self-awareness
She didnt do that though. She voted for a cunt promising to cut shit she needed and then didnt change her mind until the exact thing she needs was cut. Thats not really learning in the way you need to learn to have a functioning society. Its still narcissism and individualism.
Trump promised he wouldn’t cut Medicaid. The thing you should fault her with is that she still didn’t get that Trump lies about everything after demonstrating that for his entire public life and an entire presidential administration.
maybe my standards are just lower now because I still see idiots cheering trump as he is literally killing them and stealing their money so long as they think he is “owning the libs”
I predict she will still vote Republican the next go around for similar stupid reasons.
Did she? She voted based on racism. Nothing she’s complaining about suggests she shifted on that.
So she voted for the Wong candidate and now regrets it. Cry me a fuckin river.
Mamdani LITERALLY converts Trump voters into non-trump-voters.
Of COURSE the democrat party hates him; he exposes their grift and gets their prey to pay attention!
He’s ruining their plan to lose on purpose
Right wing voters would rather vote for a communist than a moderate liberal.
Take notes, Democrats. If you want to steal the right vote, run socialists
Definitely this. Trump could tell his supporters that he needs to shit in their mouths to “own the libs” and they would happily line up mouths open like a bunch of baby birds. (Sorry for that visual)
Shirley is a stupid cunt and a racist. I’ll happily support her voting for Mamdani, but she’s still a piece of shit and I hope she knows it and it haunts her. It doesn’t, but I wish it did.
This sounds like someone learning. It’s incredibly hard to admit you were wrong and do better. Don’t shame her for it.
She hasn’t learned anything. She discovered that her vote is now going to affect her. If it weren’t specifically for the Medicaid cuts, she wouldn’t be showing any remorse and would still be hoping Trump will take care of her brown person problem. She hasn’t admitted that she was wrong, she’s finding out that actions have consequences.
Fuck her. She deserves to be shamed just like every other Trump voter. Remember when being pro Nazi got you in hot water because of the shame it brought? We need to get back to that.
Sure, if you want to give them a reason to double down again instead of coming around.
I’m tired of trying to cater with these fucks. She has shown zero remorse for her beliefs, just that it’s affecting her. She has no intention of coming around, and if she does, I was never going to be the voice that gets her there, unless she happens to stumble into this thread. I doubt think Fox news or OAN or whoever is regurgitating this to their base, so it’s a moot point.
Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone.
Unfortunately, Jesus came back two weeks ago, but he was apprehended and died yesterday in a Salvadoran torture camp.
I’m not pretending to be a saint, but my moral compass is better than Shirley’s, and I know that from the couple of sentences she said publicly. Also, God’s fake and sins are a bullshit social construct. I throw as many metaphorical stones at stupid cunts that I want.
It’s a reference to a silly story where the lesson is to not be a judgemental shithead just because someone else fucked up.
Yeah it’s the bible. I don’t care if God is real or not, nor your opinion on it. I also use references from the writings of Vonnegutt, the music Dolly Parton, and 90s anime.
Because you can get moral lessons from fiction. We do it all the time. My reference isn’t even that deep. But somehow the ten word literary cudgel I bludgeoned you with still didn’t make the point. It’s a cautionary statement.
You are acting like the crowd of shitheals that wanted to stone a woman to death, just like in the biblical story. That’s not a good look nor is it a good indication of your ‘moral compass’. Sorry I thought you could infer that from my one sentence quote from a very well distributed piece of literature.
I got lots of rocks and didn’t vote for the orange piece of trash. Careful what you wish for…
It’s funny. That story I referenced is describing exactly your sentiment.
No it’s really not.
