Update from yesterday's Trumper who lost her job - eviltoast

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.

      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 think “Everyone is entitled to their opinion” is not the rock solid axiom people think it is. Sure, you can like vanilla or chocolate ice cream. That’s opinion, and not really harming anyone.

    “I don’t think the queers should be allowed to live” is technically an opinion, but it’s a vile one, and when you act on it you’re hurting people. Refusing vaccination is similar- it leads to people needlessly dying. Don’t sweep these into the same category as ice cream flavors.

      “You just don’t like me because I have a different opinion than you.”

      Said all the Nazis.

    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.

    “Please, don’t point out that my actions have consequences for myself. I was fully aware that my vote was gonna royally fuck over my fellow citizens, and that’s why i voted the way i did. See? I’M THE VICTIM HERE!”

    “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.

    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.

    Well, the important thing is that she’s suffered. It would be nice if she was self-aware enough to understand why, but we have to take what we can get.

    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.

    She doesn’t wish to be “apart,” so that means she wants to be all in with it, right? Right?!? Give her what she’s asked for…it’s only fair.
