CJ didn't vote for this
CJMusic Oct 7, 2023:
Joe Biden is the worst US president in history.
CJMusic Jul 6, 2024:
It would appear that, in light of Biden failing and floundering, the Dems sent their minions out to foment panic about Project 2025. It won't work.
CJMusic May 1, 2025:
I regret voting for Trump.
My husband is laid off and can't find a job and my kids' credit scores have tanked bc of his student loan policy.
This is not what I voted for.
The leopards feast.
"This is not what I voted for" is starting to become just as cliché as "I didn't sign up for this shit!" (the thing that Hollywood soldiers say when they find themselves fighting in a war).
I love this community. It sucks people need to suffer but when you're this dense, some pain is the only thing that'll make them pay attention.
The thing of it is, the real pain hasn't even started yet. The things Trump has done in his first 100 days are going to have larger and larger ripple effect repercussions for the next 10 to 20 years. The pain we are all going to feel is going to make what's happening right now look like a fucking picnic.
No sympathies for these people
"This is not what I voted for."
I voted for him to hurt immigrants, the poor, the gays, women, workers, non-whites, Democrats, progressives, liberals, intellectuals, drag queens, the woke, and DEI, not white Americans!
workers,...not white Americans!
None of them include workers in that list, because most of them are white Americans, but are also workers. The whole point is "I want them to hurt people who are not like me, not people who are me!"
Most of them don't understand that unless they have million dollar yachts that they use as tenders for their billion dollar yachts that they are the "poor" that Trump and the oligarchs tearing apart the US government don't want their tax dollars going to support.
and DEI
White women getting pissed about DEI is the craziest to me because they're the ones that benefited the most from DEI.
Everything about conservative American women was explained in Dworkin’s Right Wing Women.
Women who grow up in shitty sexist communities (eg, imagine being a teenage girl growing up in fucking Disney, Oklahoma.) You have no future. You are supposed to find a guy to marry yourself off to. You are promised this is the greatest thing ever, taught to fantasize about your wedding, to imagine you’re happily ever after.
Then you get married to some guy. Maybe he’s great, maybe he’s not. But you never got to be a person. You were never taught that you could be something more. You feel bitter and powerless in your community - you’ll never be the deacon, but you’ll always be cleaning up after the potluck.
But then you see other women who don’t have to live like that. This is a societal threat to these communities. That there are clearly women in the world who are happy and fulfilled in an office or a field, while you will never be anything more than a church secretary or PTA mom.
So the propaganda is always that these women are lying. They aren’t actually happy. They aren’t actually competent - they only got their jobs through “DEI.” They aren’t better than you, it’s a liberal plot.
This is also connected to the fear routine - see how the right wing women sphere is the TERFs. They whip up a history to aim the real anxieties and fears related to a culture that covers up sexual violence against women (how many youth pastors have we never heard about?) and redirects it to an acceptable target. Women who perform this well enough are even rewarded with having their voice recognized - that Phyllis Schafly made a career of telling other women to not have careers, that Rowling has defined the exclusion of trans women as a prime most important feminist feat (while women in the US die of lack of access to reproductive health care…)
They don’t benefit from DEI because they’ve been told not to want careers, and they are mad at the wrong people.
Rhetoric has shaped their perspective. They don't know what DEI is.
For everything the conservatives are bad at, they are somehow crazy good at messaging.*
Their ability to take a positive term, redefine it as something it isn't, and use it as a hammer is impressive. The reality of "getting rid of DEI" clearly means more discrimination and hiring/firing based on race/sex/etc, but they certainly framed it as "best candidate instead of minority preference".
This is a repeating trend. Fake news, Critical race theory, woke, cancel culture, marxism, radical left, et -- these are all good examples of the right redefining and hijacking terms or language. It wouldn't surprise me if they try to do it with the word "democracy" to mean something like "far left woke Democrat ideals".
Just to clarify -- "good at messaging" just meaning that it's effective at being taken up and repeated by a subset of the population. How people listen to and trust the stuff is beyond me.
Their husbands told them that they should be pissed so they are pissed.
"He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."
Sorry, psychopaths. You elected him president. After he showed everyone exactly who he was. The why doesn't matter. He'll continue to be who he's always been, but now he's actively making the world worse...
In about three years:
You are absolutely correct, and it disappoints me so much.
We must dismantle the conservative propaganda machine if we ever hope to heal
I don't really get the hostility towards the person. It is good to relize and even admitting you were wrong. We should encourage that nd not give shit. Important are the person's future actions.
I don’t get the grace your giving a person who voted explicitly to harm migrants, the lgbt community, homeless people, marginalized people, leftists, lawyers, judges and anyone who isn’t white.
Baby back liberals as their enemies wrap the noose around their neck
“we cAnT eVeR hUrT sOmEoN’eS fEe-fEeS we hAvE tO be tOlErANt aNd tOoThLeSs AnD nEvEr dO aNyThInG”
Fucking pussies
The post didn't admit she was wrong. She merely said the particular harm she suffered was not what she voted for.
Let’s not fool ourselves: Donald’s blatant sexism and racism wasn’t going over this voter’s head. Not even for a second. So I wouldn’t insert the complexity of empathy and understanding the effects of responsibility of choice where someone hasn’t exercised it yet.
everyone has the right to change their own mind but it’s another to start inserting trust and faith in them.
this looks more like regret for their own misfortune (not for anyone else’s). This doesn’t mean their racism and sexism they got on board with that lead to this decision in their life magically vanished or that they wouldn’t hesitate at the chance another president with the same ideas. They merely gained the ability to not deny it has provided a different problem altogether that affects them personally now. Which is ok, great. step one. They hit a bottom. They got to the point they admit there’s one problem. Many refuse to even go there for their thirst of revenge on ‘woke’.
At best at this point you could only expect they could at least understand to vote in their own interest and not just to vote as a form of revenge. Perhaps they found Donald is a bigger enemy than DEI. I just wouldn’t mistaken that as them suddenly seeing everyone around them as equals just yet or that pain is universal
Valid point, but this is the leopards ate my face community. We're here to see faces eaten.
I mean, they didn't admit they were wrong. They're saying they were basically "totes bamboozled" by Trump once he was elected, which we know is horseshit because half the country apparently did see this coming (and was quite vocal about it).
It shifts the guilt for what is going on entirely on Trump rather than taking an ounce of responsibility for their own role in the whole ordeal.
lol
This person is a horrible narcissistic fascist. Not until he harms them does this person admit they were wrong. This person would never have changed position otherwise.
I mean, they are still likely OK with everything else the republicans stand for. This self realisation is most likely temporary because it affected them personally. They probably still are OK with trans/homophobia, bigotry, and authoritarianism
which is 'what they voted for'.
Absolutely true, but these people don't admit they were wrong.
This person disregarded the racism, xenophobia, dangerous climate policies and every other negative thing associated with their party of choice. They only "changed their mind" when stupid policies affected their own wallet. This person is the very definition of an "idiot" in the ancient Greek sense of the word and they deserve to have their faces eaten by leopards and to be made fun of. They didn't do their duty as a citizen and these are the results of their actions. The only way they will learn is if they suck on it so... Enjoy
Because they voted for hatred, they just didn't vote for that hatred to target themselves. This is not people realising they were wrong, this is just a "he isn't hurting the right people" moment by an asshole.
Note: This is Leopards Ate My Face. This is the place where people enjoy seeing comeuppances manifest.
Ah well let me explain
When someone makes a mistake - such as small babies peeing outside the toilet and shit like that - that's on the parent. There's "bitch baby stop doing that shit" approach and there's the "baby please learn how to pee I will help you"
Responsibility and learning is different things.
When you vote. And brag. About voting for leopards eating people faces, and then your face gets eaten..
That's not a mistake. That's misusing responsibility. I'm certain you can catch on to the difference. Babies don't learn how to not miss the toilet like idiots until they assume responsibility for their urine dispatch and understanding the perils of not doing that.
Please look back at this easy flowchart for reference in the future:
Realizing mistake - > thankful for being rediculed, as you now understand what a fool you where and this is a relief to see people helping stop others from doing that. We don't tell babies that they are awesome for peeing at a location at random. We give them praise when they start trying to pee correctly into the toilet. Even if they fail, we say good job chap, you are peeing in maybe the right direction or at least trying my boy or girl, well on ya
Rediculed and becoming a baby, crying - > you regress into childhood and potentially start peeing on the edge of the toilet messing up the entire outfit and it's because you absorbed a correct helping jeer as a hostile attack on your inner soul. Of which nobody will ever see if you abstain from error correcting, such as for instance learning how to pee correctly or vote sanely.
You're welcome!
You do have to poses some strong repression skills to look at trumps platform and think "this is good for the common American". CJ, you voted for this. You willfully ignored what he was saying and drank the orange monster.
this is not what I voted for
Nah, dipshit it's EXACTLY what you voted for.
It's too bad these morons are illiterate, and allergic to anything that isn't low-IQ misinformation
She didn't realize that she fits into the "expendable peasant" tier to Trump, and his ilk.
"Expendable peasant": Anyone who isn't a billionaire willing to throw money at L'Orange.
Great phrase, BTW. I'm brand new around here and I already like the place!
This is not what I voted for
"I voted for other people to suffer, and now I'm suffering. Is there no fairness in this world?"
Either that, or:
"When Donald Trump mentioned what a fine man Hannibal Lecter is before shuffling around to the YMCA, my brain registered that as him telling me everything that I wanted to hear because I'm a delusional psychopath with no grip on reality that thinks the world revolves around me."
It all boils down go "I voted for them to hurt people" and then they act surprised when they're the ones being hurt.
The Hannibal Lecter thing drives me nuts, because Trump clearly heard someone mention immigration from political asylum and confused that with mental asylums.
I wish the press would have picked up on it and called him out.
I'm pretty sure he praised OJ Simpson at some point in the middle of all of that as well. He was also very concerned about offshore wind farms killing whales in record numbers. And there was that one incident where he just stood around on stage saying and doing nothing for an hour while golden oldies played.
The press was too busy printing headlines about Trump calling Biden "sleepy Joe" though. And honestly I'm not sure if an honest and fair press would've even helped in this case. It would've just been librul deep state propaganda. And they would've just gone on with their decorative diapers, foam fingers and Trump bibles regardless.
I wish the press would have picked up on it and called him out.
There are so, so, so many instances of this. If they'd picked up on a few more we wouldn't be in this mess. But they ignored them all because they're complicit in all of this.
It's usually the dumbest, most infantile reason with him. He just negotiated rare earth materials with Ukraine, and he's after them again in Greenland. I'm starting to think he wants them because they literally have "rare" in the name.
I mean, we're getting for it regardless of who we voted for. That's the magic of singular senior executive in a three-branch government where the executive branch has functional dictatorship of the bureaucracy.
If Harris had won (perhaps by not pissing off big chunks of the Midwestern Arab population by repeatedly endorsing the genocide of their families) then she'd have been spared the indignity of getting what she asked for. But the wind was with the Republicans, so now we all get to hang out in the crumbling dystopian hell-hole together.
If those Arabs thought that trump would in any way reduce the genocide, well... I will point them to the image above.
If Harris had won (perhaps by not pissing off big chunks of the Midwestern Arab population by repeatedly endorsing the genocide of their families)
Or perhaps by the Democrats taking economic inequality seriously and actually moving the needle on helping the working class.
Well those midwestern Arabs can celebrate the… genocide of their families and themselves when they are deported right out of the country.
Not sure how this shit is any fucking different from the vast amount of killing we all support paying taxes to the us government. Of this killing is bad… ignore the killing over here, and here, and here, AND OH LOOK NOW IT’S HERE AT HOME!
Honestly sometimes I think right wingers have a fucking point about immigration if they are going to come here and vote away my fucking rights while caring more for a foreign country than the one they claim they want to live in they can get the fuck out then.
If Trump actually falls out of favor with the Right I fully expect these kinds of people to try to blame all of this on him alone so they check the box for the next R who will enable them to continue to be shitheads.
That's how they got over Bush II very quickly too.
Yeah, my friends from 20 years ago that fucking LOVED Bush now pretend they want nothing to do with him. Trump will be the same way. Set a reminder for 2045 to ask your favorite Republican what they think of Trump.
I remember sitting there, being embarrassed that W was the face of our country. I was thinking to myself, how did we let this happen, policy aside, he's really not a capable president and its horrific in speaking.
G'DAM if i don't miss that whyly bastard. I'd rather have someone with some actual moral values, but jesus i don't know how much worse it could get.
This person knew what Project 2025 was and just refused to believe it. This is exactly what they voted for.
They thought they were voting for a power fantasy but that's not what they were actually voting for.
They were voting for a power fantasy, they just didn't realize it wasn't their fantasy.
Somebody tell CJ to go eat shit
And follow the damn train.
Way too many dumb fucks on this planet.
This is EXACTLY what they voted for. Congratulations! 🎊
"But... I'm white..."
"Yeah, white trash. Just another n!**3r to me. Eat shit, and die."
Thats just it, they are not fighting the same war, trump is on the class war and they are still seeing colors.
Is Cj going to vote Dems or someone else at the next election? Yeah, I didn't think so.
Aw shit, here we go again...
"I'm so angry that I have to vote for this [pedophile / nazi / conman] because the democrats are so much worse, I've been told!"
Most likely another republican. Surely things will go right this time they vote red
Vote republican, and have a worse life
I don't get why people haven't learned that one yet
Because they think that one day soon, they'll own the boot and be the ones doing the stomping.
Republicans never consider themselves to be poor, they're just "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" who are gonna make it any day now. Just you wait, any day now they'll win the lottery, or get an inheritance, or...
Fry: "yeah that'll show those poor!"
Leela: "but Fry, why are you cheering? you aren't rich."
Fry: "True, but someday I might be. Then people like me better watch their step!"
How would someone who is convinced they are a temporarily embarassed millionaire learn a lesson like that.
Conservatives always think they're part of the in-group.. until they're not.
"Because he hates the people I hate. 'Murica!"
Blame shifting by the people that they believe they should trust.
"The democrats caused this mess"
\
"If the democrats were in power, they would do way worse than this"
\
"This is temporary pain to prevent the democrats from ruining EVERYTHING"
\
"Heil Hitler THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE REAL NAZI FASCISTS!!!"
THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE REAL NAZI FASCISTS!!!”
Yup, like the time that Biden Sieg Heiled. oh wait...
This is the strategy that the obscenely wealthy have used since the dawn of time.
Manipulate the peasants to blame each other, instead of us. Throw them some bones to make us appear concerned, altruistic, and benevolent. The reason Roman emperors gave the plebes free bread every day, and held the "Games" to keep them from rioting.
Today, it's American Idol, sports, reality TV, YouTube, TikTok, etc.
Because it's a better life for rich people, and that's what they're going to be any day now!
Face for dinner again, mom? 🙄
The problem with choosing your own reality is that when it doesn't bear any resemblance to actual reality, you will inevitably be forced to face up to it at some point.
Humans generally hate to admit when they are wrong so creating a version of events where you didn't make a mistake is easier.
The magic of modern social media is that you can ensconce yourself in a made-up AM Talk Radio / AI-generated reality. CJ's experiencing a bit of propaganda lag between experiencing the consequences of the policy and being told who to blame as the scapegoat. But that's just due to us living in an in-between time with no elections on the immediate horizon.
Talk to CJ in the run up to the midterms and ask her why her husband is laid off and her kids credit scores are shit. I'm sure she'll be able to explain in great detail how Illegal Gay ISIS Woke Feminazis are to blame.
Exactly the reason Fox was created, and The Fairness Doctrine was killed.
Seal your cult voters in an alternate reality bubble. Win. Repeat.
Fuck you CJ it's exactly what you voted for, so fuck you again
The Fox made him choose the Leopard
Because something about hunter Biden, I guess. Also something about her e-mails.
Stupid cunt.
Well said.
Time for the ye olde rugged individuals to pull themselves up by their bootstraps
A classic case of get wrekt
Good. Each day I grow happier and happier seeing them get what they voted for. I’d like to think they’ve learned their lesson and will never do it again, but quite frankly I’ve had goldfish with longer attention spans than MAGAts. Only way this sticks to grind them down for a while.
ahahhaahahahahhaaahahahahahahahahaha!!. fyathyrio.
p.s. yes. yes, it is. it's exactly what you voted for.
bon appétit, dear leopard. this one is seasoned just how ya like 'em.
Regret, that’s a start.
Me, My, and I.
Conservative? Of course.
0 sympathy to anyone who voted for the continuation of the genocide. Oh boohoo you got laid off, oh no wont somebody think of your credit score. You are getting but a fraction of what you deserve.
Womp womp
Both were terrible presidents ... But Trump kind of appeals to a certain type. And America's got a lot of that type. But these individuals as hard as you try not to think, they are the proletariat, they are the oppressed. This is just how capitalism and crisis expresses itself through populism and then fascism. ♪ ♪ All these isms are just distractions from American foreign policy, which is imperialistic and oppressive. And it doesn't respect other nations sovereignty, or rules based order...either Biden or Trump or Bush or Obama or whatever. Trump is different in that he's going after the deep state which is really just his opponents to his style of management and his policies either way it serves the rich just like Biden. I've been on this planet enough to see the cycles. It's the good cop, bad cop strategy. And they're going to do that when they drop nukes on Iran. They're going to act like they're disgusted by Israel's war-mongering. at the same time they're calling the shots from behind the line. You will witness nuclear weapons used in your lifetime.
Man the stress right now is REAL but the tea over the next few years is gonna be pretty great. I-told-you-so's everywhere.
I won't say worth it.
We need to start asking these people what they did vote for and listen. That's your platform strategy for 2028.
