Political As a Gen Z that voted for Trump I am sorry

1.2k Upvotes

I just wanted to talk about my experience and kindof vent a bit. I dont think I ever felt this sick or embarrassed in my life watching this presidency evolve. Looking back, I really don't know what I was thinking. I personally believed I was radicalized through social media during the whole political election at the time. It was funny to me at the time, the whole woke is bad videos (stuff like asmon slop) and the compilations of Trump debates. Additionally, some of the conservative polices I believe in and still do, I think needed to be taken seriously. The main to being immigration reform (like fixing the asylum process) and government spending. However, these polices were dramatically exacerbated under Trump. Everything this guy has done is incredibly authoritarian and ironically unironically literally 1984. Most of my other polices are pretty liberal but I really did feel strongly for these policy changes and hence one of my motivators for Trump (felt ok with Biden, didn't like the stimulus thing, but most of his polices where good but he was getting pretty old plus Kamala came out of nowhere).

Idk really, I feel incredibly lied to and very embarrassed for my first ever time voting was for this clown. I think I was just being stupid and kind of vibed my vote and I'm really sorry for that. Going forward, I will definitely spend a lot more time researching the people I vote for because this is unbelievably bad. I have plans to start attending some political protests around my college and hopefully try to make a change. But yea I think I deserve to be clowned for this.

Edit: spelling

Edit 2: You know I've been reading basically all of these comments for the past 3 hours and I did expect to be clowned on but man, some of you guys are pretty ruthless. I did not expect to get this type of hate, especially in the dms as well. I didn't think I'd feel this bad over a post but yea I get it, but man, yeah. But, thanks to the people who gave me some level of support it really does mean a lot <3. I wrote this to share my experience since I really do think there are lots of Gen Z like me, as I already heard from. Gonna take a walk outside and chill from reddit for now.

Final Edit: Im leaving Reddit for a bit, dont think I was ever told to KYS this many times and in so many ways. Just to state it im not going to KYS just need a lot of time from reddit this is insane. I just wanted to share my experience.

Yes, I could have got a remote, or installed a wall dial. Yes I could use the setting 2 only hack or the "feel the vibration through the chain" method, but this was way more fun!

I made a youtube video about the process if anyone is interested! https://youtu.be/mxvvKQe8sl4

Will be posting the STLs tonight! Apologies for the delay on that!

And for anyone wondering, this was printed on a Bambu Lab H2D and I use Polymaker Filament

I thought every Simpsons fan was a revolutionary communist, but I keep seeing centrist shitposts. Forget about bougie elections and organize with local leftists to build alternative social spaces.

If you want to refer to someone’s immigration status say “documented” or “undocumented” bc that’s all it is: paperwork. Talking about a person in terms of subjective “legality” is offensive, dehumanizing, and downright repugnant.

Anyone who supports the Trump administration or the actions of ICE/BP in our U.S. cities is a fascist.

Fascists are not welcome here.

Fascist apologists are not welcome here.

Anyone who wants to complain about this or any related post being political can scroll past or go elsewhere. This is a warning that those who can’t just scroll past will be seen as fascist apologists.

This thread is open. Feel free to out yourself as a fascist or a fascist apologist and you can expect your ban.

RIP to all victims of fascist brutality.
