All my Trump neighbors are rental tenants so they get shuffled in and out every year by their landlords. A few MAGA banner fliers as well as a few families with small kids all got kicked out my neighborhood this last year for Sale signs to go up.
They were tricked by a propaganda machine. They may have been willing participants but had they known everything they never would have voted against their own interests. Yet every country in the western hemisphere, South America, Africa, Asia, and well everywhere doesn’t have anti propaganda laws. If you’re rich you can buy influence in any neo liberal country. Why is that?
Thots and pears.
Trump crap was taken down on any neighbor’s homes (and there weren’t many) except one (and they have it kinda hidden) after 2020. Anyone supporting Trump at this point is an idiot, cruel, or both.
Agent Krasnov is, by ALL objective measures, the most prolific Traitor in American history. In fact, he has probably caused more damage than ALL other American traitors COMBINED.
At this point, anyone who still supports HitlerPig is as much an authentic traitor as he is. I only wish the very worst outcomes for them. Losing their jobs and homes is the mildest punishment they deserve.
I operate a business, and I havent had to hire anyone lately. But if I were, I would absolutely ask them who they supported for president in 2020 and 2024, which is perfectly legal. Anyone who voted for HitlerPig would be immediately, and rudely, be rejected. I won’t employ anyone with such obviously poor Critical Thinking Skills.
Trump support has been on full display in my area without interruption. “Don’t blame me, I voted for Trump” are the ones I’m keeping my eyes on the most, waiting for them to disappear.
It’s almost half the country though, he’s got like 46% of people approve of what he’s doing. I guess they’re just less in your face about it.
That isn’t true. Only 31% of adults voted for him vs 30% for Harris. The majority of adults didn’t vote because they didn’t like either candidate.
Oh it’s true.

Although more people disapprove than approve (a recent phenomenon), 46-48% of the American public APPROVE of his current actions.
It’s literally BAFFLING.
Is it really true, though? I suspect a lot of those people dont really like HitlerPig, but they are diehard Republicans, and will vote for ANY Republican they are presented with. The only reason they support Republicans so much is because they have been well-indoctrinated by the Conservative Propaganda Machine, and they don’t have the Critical Thinking Skills to reject even the most obvious propaganda. They have been taught more to HATE evil Democrats/Liberals than love Republicans. They arent really voting for the Republican candidate, they are voting AGAINST ANY Democrat.
If 31% voted Trump, and 30% Harris, that leaves 39% not voting (minus the idk <1%? that voted third party), which is also not a majority. Plurality yes, but not the majority.
Far more voted for Harris, but there was massive voter fraud, purged voter rolls, disenfranchised votes, rejected votes, all provisional votes were rejected, and voting machines were hacked, probably by multiple parties (Musk, Russians, Chinese, perhaps others).
Now the Republicans get to laugh derisively at Democrats falling all over themselves questioning the directions and strategies that actually won the election, but had it stolen. Rather than question their direction, the Dems should be supporting massive governmental and private investigations into the massive Republican election fraud in the 2024 election.
If the Dems don’t get their shit together, and stop pretending the Republicans won "fair & square, " we can expect nearly every Congressional election to got to Republicans, and HitlerPig will win the 2028 election with 98% of the vote. He will use that enormous number to justify ignoring the Consitutional 2 term limit.
No, only 1.6% or whatever made the effort to reject both and vote for someone else. Anyone who didn’t vote were fine with either major party winning.
The trump sign probably only came down so they could put it back up at whatever trailer park they move into. They’ll gladly vote for the next trump-aligned fascist. These people are incapable of learning.
Gonna be complaining DEI made him lose his job and Biden’s taxes made him lose his house
Yup. Realtor likely took it down because any political flag will devalue a house or turn away potential buyers.
A Twitter checkmark? In 2025?
Kinda cheapens the post a bit.
We really need a Herman Cain Award for Trumpers who have lost their livelihoods. I used to love the old compilations of dozens of posts only to have the inevitable “COVID ain’t no joke”.
Covid deniers when their opponent is covid
It’s kind of scary that 3 weeks is all it took for them to list their home.
Doesn’t seem likely unless he was renting. Even if you miss one mortgage payment, your bank can’t take your house that fast. If he was renting, he might have been threatened with eviction and chose to leave.
Bet he also had a $100k truck parked in front of that home. Bought with a loan with 12% interest
If their whole financial system is built on getting the next paycheck or else, this is quite to be expected. He might even be smart (for a magahead) putting it on the market as early as possible instead of clinging to it.

The neighbor is part of the (in 2019) 51%.
“Most Working Americans Would Face Economic Hardship If They Missed More than One Paycheck”
Man, that’s tragic. I was poor most of my early life, and when I finally started to make enough money to be comfortable, I knew that the thing I couldn’t do was fall into the lifestyle trap. Living well below my means saved me so much hardship when things weren’t going well. I know that many don’t ever get to the point of comfortable, though, and there’s a bit of luck and effort, to that.
I wish we could do that. Renting and buying houses today makes it incredibly difficult to live very far below your means.
And on top of that for most government workers their paychecks have been remarkably stable. Assuming you’ll always be employed plus easy credit and bad financial habits are a bad combination
What’s FAFO?
F Around and find out
You can say fuck. It’s okay.
Fuck around and f out
Fuck a a f o
Fuck around and fag out? Is this how people realise they’re gay?
Only one way to find out.
This is the first time I’ve come across “fag” on Lemmy and I’m really glad it was used for a reclaiming joke
I’m going out to the yard to smoke a fag now.
Don’t be such a bundle of sticks
In my generation, a “fag” was a leftover of a cigarette.
I think that’s regional on top of generational, but I’m not certain
Well you can’t be sure unless you try it first
Fun fact: my wife and I have sucked the same number of dick 😂 I was curious, twice, but found out it’s not my thing.
I respect that. I kissed my best friend on a dare when I was drunk and high as a teen. Realized kissing dudes was fuckinf weird and not my thing. Through the power of the scientific method we can say with confidence we aren’t gay. Not many other people can do that.
It’s worth a shot!
In the mouth or on the face though?
You can ever say cunt
God I hope this is real.
thanks oBACHma

For a tardigrade, that’s massive. It looks like something between a viola and a cello…

I get the hate, but I just can’t bring myself to be happy about someone losing their home.
This person was happy to screw other people over and voted for it. The fact that they’re reaping the results of the hate they sewed makes me happy and I don’t feel the least bit bad about it.
If this were a normal, fairly subjective disagreement, I’d feel the same way.
If this were a medium level disagreement and they were objectively wrong, I’d also feel the same way.
Supporting Trump is stunningly, objectively wrong, and in doing so they’re basically doing the opposite of this. They’re supporting lots of people losing a lot more than their homes.
I fully support being happy about it.
The sad part about it is that they’re probably blaming the democrats or the illegal immigrants or Zelensky or some other ridiculous bullshit, instead of facing reality…
happy
I think the only reason people ever say things like this make them ‘happy’ is in the absence of a more accurate label.
In a country devoid of legal justice, we’ve basically just been confronted by a thug who, while attempting to mug us at gunpoint, shot his own dick off when he was attempting to pull the firearm from his pants.
So for the victim, there’s a degree of relief that the threat from that specific thug is now over (unfortunately we’re being simultaneously mugged by thousands of other identical thugs…), a complete lack of empathy for the thug from the victim (if you put my life in danger, I suddenly don’t give a single fuck about the quality or preservation of yours); and a recognition of the comical irony of the thug’s own weapon being the thing that disabled him.
Against the contrast we’ve grown accustomed to of getting mugged and watching our assailants face zero consequences, the above stands out as uniquely positive, albeit morbid.
Another angle: if you’ve persisted on dirty, sewage contaminated water your entire life; then get the opportunity to drink a glass of pure, clean water, you might call it sweet even if it isn’t literally so; it just seems that way relative to the vile biohazard you’re used to.
So, happiness? No. The closest we’ll be able to get to happiness? Yeah, probably.
I think the only reason people ever say things like this make them ‘happy’ is in the absence of a more accurate label.
Schadenfreude? Commonly translated to English as “joy at seeing other’s misfortune.” I hope in most cases it is more associated with seeing someone in the wrong receiving their comeuppance. The joy of watching your enemy suffer a setback or even defeat.
In every rational situation, I would fully agree. But this man elected someone who told them, to their face, that they would be downsizing the government. The WORKED for the government. I want to call it stupidity, but it was maliciousness that backfired, so yeah. Fuck em.
I get that we want to gloat. Because we were right. But what happens with this person? Does he see how wrong he was? Does he attempt to change his ways, and influence others who thought the same? Does this bring about any kind of positive change? Or does he just go live in his pickup truck with a camper shell and blame Obama and Biden because he’s poor now?
I’m simply happy that they’re seeing what they wanted for other people. They voted for the man who openly said he would make life harder and kick people out of their homes, and they gleefully enjoyed it thinking it was only people they disliked.
I’m all for people learning lessons the hard way when they refused to see reason. Especially when the reason was to be kind and empathetic in the first place.
Oh I sure as fuck can.
Then you do you boo boo
Think you’re in the wrong community man. We’re here to revel in the schadenfreude no holds barred.
He’s not losing his home, it’s the bank’s home, being passed along to a new owner. He literally voted for what’s happening right now, you reap what you sow.
