One is Michael Lyras, a 44-year-old American, who lives in Volusia County, near Orlando, in central Florida. Lyras studied addiction counseling in college but is currently disabled and receiving food stamps. He voted for Trump “all three times” but says he is upset with the way things are going: “I regret my last vote enormously,” he says.
“It was necessary to make changes, but not in this way, sacrificing our civil rights and liberties that are enshrined in our Constitution,” Lyras adds. “He [Trump] is turning this into a police state and he’s acting like an authoritarian. I didn’t vote for any of this”
This is what you voted for… be angry with yourself.
America is now playing by Larry David’s show rules for Seinfeld:
No hugging, no learning.
Christ, we even have a
soupSNAP Nazi…And of course Seinfeld and Kramer have now both already gone on their irl dark timeline character arcs.
“It was necessary to make changes, but not in this way, sacrificing our civil rights and liberties that are enshrined in our Constitution,”
Oh now he’s concerned about civil rights, now that he’s gonna be losing some weight. Yeah OK bud.
Trump: “I’ll be a dictator on day one”
Trump voters, a year later: Won’t somebody think of the Constitution!
I’m ANGRY with Trump! SO ANGRY that I’m going to Vote for him AGAIN!
My deeply republican town just voted in all democrats into position of power tonight. Looks like a lot of other places in my state had the same happen. I’m feeling hope for the first time in years.
Yes you did. This is who he said he would be. You just ignored everyone pointing that out because they were just some derogatory version of liberal to you. People who cared about things like rights, the Constitution, the corruption of the Checks And Balances in our government. But let’s face it, the real reason you care at all is because it’s finally affecting you personally. Your government handouts are on the ropes. Your medicare, medical costs, and food supplies are all hurting you and going to get worse. This would all be fine if people were just being tossed into the backs of unmarked vans by masked “officers”, protesters seeking equal rights were shot at and firehosed, and forests were clearcut for timber, coal, and oil platforms. But now it’s making difficulty for you personally, so you care.
"He [Trump] is turning this into a police state and he’s acting like an authoritarian. I didn’t vote for any of this”
You did. He said this is what he would do. He says he wanted to do all this the first time he was elected and it was only his non-sycophantic cabinet members that held him back. You didn’t pay attention. You need to accept this and learn from it, because if it’s not already too late to vote again (and it might be), you will need to pay attention and be MUCH more discerning in the future.
“The old rapist who I voted for in 2016 was different to this old tyrannical rapist I just voted for. I was ok with him raping children but now he’s raping my land and I’ve got the sad ☹️”
But they’ll do it again given the chance
He voted for Trump all three times.
I didn’t vote for any of this.
“Oh no! The inevitable consequences of our incredibly stupid actions!”
“It was necessary to make changes, but not in this way, sacrificing our civil rights and liberties that are enshrined in our Constitution,”
I’d be curious to know what changes he thinks were so necessary.
I mean, yes, there’s a hardcore segment of racist authoritarians that are eager to bring back the worst aspects of the last several centuries. And there are people who watch fox news and see story after story about an invasion of immigrants murdering kids, eating pets, raping our horses and riding off on our women.
But there’s also people who just think that Republicans will cut your taxes and improve the economy while Democrats will raise taxes and hurt the economy. And, God help us, there are people dumb enough to believe that Trump is a beacon of fucking integrity who has only had legal problems because the entire justice system was corrupted by the Biden crime family. More generally, there are people who recognize that Washington is a dumpster fire, and therefore will vote for whoever they perceive to be an outsider (even a current a former president). And then there are people who just vote based on how they feel things are going who literally couldn’t tell you what one candidate or the other is actually going to do (eggs are too expensive, I’m voting for the other guy).
. . . Did you think America before Trump was not in need for radical change?
The country has been a dumpster fire for decades now, change is needed because everyone except the riches quality of life is declining decade on decade.
Even idiots can see that, they just don’t know the solution so voted for the first person to speak to them differently despite their lies.
Building is always harder than destroying, and takes longer. A lot of Biden’s policy (anyone remember the infrastructure bill? Student loan forgiveness?) was a turn in the right direction that really would have made a difference in a decade or so. But was there really a faster way? Was there an approach that could have withstood a toddler in the white house throwing tantrums and knocking things over?
Lazy buzzwords, typical.
Republicans just gave tax cuts to billionaires while taking healthcare coverage from 17 million Americans. Democrats opposed that. BUT I GUESS THEY’RE EXACTLY THE SAME.
So you lack reading comprehension as there were zero buzzwords or mention of both sides being the same.
I’m not saying changes aren’t needed. But anyone who is demanding change has some idea of what kind of change they want. Nuclear annihilation would be change, but they probably don’t support that.
Even just the fact that they are upset is evidence that they wanted something more specific than just change. You can’t be disappointed without having some kind of expectations first.
What changes they want are to have enough money to survive and not be lower income like so many Republican voters are.
That doesn’t mean they understand economics or social issues to correctly identify the cause.
It’s brainwashing, truly. Years and years of corporate money interests and think-tank arguments meant to distract, confuse, and correlate “them” with bad things and “us” with good things. They tried it on the left, too, with less success.
Fuck all these people

Let’s be fair in that his family likely didn’t vote for this, assuming they even still are involved with him.
As your state turns into a wasteland remember who you voted for to lead you there.
Lol Michael you’re a fucking idiot, you big dumb bitch.
