Update from this post yesterday: https://sh.itjust.works/post/34622756

Trumper has since scrubbed her Facebook page of all things political, including pictures of her husband in a MAGA hat. She is now claiming to never have made political posts.

Transcript:

I’m posting this not to start a debate over politics but just for a generalized statement so please do not come at me or try to start a debate. I do not nor have I ever talked politics for the sheer reason that everyone has an opinion and is absolutely entitled to that opinion; that’s why we vote and I am not about to go at it with someone because our beliefs arent the same. I have recently had too many people flooding my text messages or DMs forcing their opinion. I even had one friend end our friendship because I politely stated I do not talk politics and I was not going that rabbit hole with her.

The fact of the matter is like it or not the president is who it is. I have worked for the federal government for 15 years and it is a scary thing right now. [Redacted] also military and we don’t know what our jobs will look like in the future. We’re rolling with things as they come out and will adjust as needed but a lot of things I receive or read from a lot of posts have somewhat taken me by surprise and do not wish to be apart of it.

    Nobody can keep themselves out of politics. It just doesn’t work that way, because politics works its way into your life wherever you go. You can choose not talk about it, which is typically an endorsement of the status quo, and that in itself is a clear political message that you’re sending to people around you.

    “I made an incredibly stupid political mistake that people warned me repeatedly not to make and it backfired and hurt me personally so now I’m going to pretend I’ve never been into politics to try to save face.”

    Fucking loser. I hope they suffer.

      “This is not political”

      (Not a response to you lol)

      My friend in Talos, everything is political. Saying “X is not political” says that you’re privileged enough to not see how X is political.

      If they were capable of learning anything, I suspect the first four years of this fuckstick as president would have taught them…

    What’s so great is that they don’t get to blame Biden or Democrats in any way for this. There is no wiggle room here, and they have to contend with that and confront their cognitive dissonance.

    Option 1: Trumpsk unfairly fired you in spite of you being a good and efficient worker. Dear Leader(s) is/are at fault and fallible.

    Option 2: Trumpsk fairly fired you because you are a poor and inefficient worker. You are at fault and deserve what came to you.

      That’s part of the problem, many who have fallen into this pattern have been groomed to think Option 2 from the time they were born. This is unironically what they earnestly believe. But I’m pretty sure the insidious marriage of religion, wealth, and politics was the plan ever since the L they took during Watergate.

    Thank you for the update.

    This person is certainly entitled to their opinion, but not repercussions from their opinion. This is a classic mistake from “Free speech absolutists”. You’re welcome to say whatever you want, as long as you’re prepared to deal with the consequences.

    These are sadly, the kind of people who will never learn because they lack the capacity for self-reflection, and more importantly, self-change. Knowing you need to change isn’t half as hard as actually putting in the effort to change.

    Votes for Hitler. Everyone is entitled to vote it is what it is. Noone is entitled to criticise anyone for voting for Hitler, I am completely innocent no matter what Hitler does. You have to still sympathise with me because the Hitler I knew about and still voted for hurt me. /s

      She absolutely said some shit to the “rabbit hole” friend before dismissing her (almost certainly valid) criticism with that “I don’t talk politics” shit.

    I’ll never understand the logic of these people. Works for the government but supports the political party that wants a small government. Loses their job and is suddenly perplexed why.

    Like someone who keeps stabbing their eye with a fork wonders why they’ve gone blind.

      I’ll never understand the logic hatred

      You’re trying to project a reasonable thought process onto people driven by cruelty. You don’t understand it because it doesn’t exist: change your lens and suddenly it’ll start making sense.

      I’m seriously so bummed she removed her old MAGA posts. The leopards would’ve died from gorging themselves.

    by a first glance just discovering this, looks like narcissism.

    They will do everything - like deleting the obvious - before allowing being on par with the people they initially disagreed with

      Yeah, it’s one thing to say “I fucked up, I was wrong.” But to just full on delete everything while claiming to never get into politics is just insane.

    Sorry all, was really hoping to make a c/letsnotmakethispolitical community featuring her previous posts and then the final post of her losing her job and denouncing politics, reminiscent of the old Herman Cain Award.

    But since she has scrubbed her Facebook page, there’s no material left. Unless anyone knows of a way to recover deleted posts from someone else.
