Another Trumper full of regret.

"I liked his policies, mainly his support for education and affordable housing, said Shirley Wong, 70, of Bensonhurst, referring to Mamdani. "He seems to listen to us."

But less than a year ago, Wong cast her ballot for Trump. She cited the influx of migrants in her neighborhood, as well as the cost of living under President Joe Biden. But now, Wong said she regretted voting for Trump, citing the Big Beautiful Bill's projected cuts to Medicaid

She hasn't learned anything. She discovered that her vote is now going to affect her. If it weren't specifically for the Medicaid cuts, she wouldn't be showing any remorse and would still be hoping Trump will take care of her brown person problem. She hasn't admitted that she was wrong, she's finding out that actions have consequences.

Fuck her. She deserves to be shamed just like every other Trump voter. Remember when being pro Nazi got you in hot water because of the shame it brought? We need to get back to that.

    Sure, if you want to give them a reason to double down again instead of coming around.

    I'm tired of trying to cater with these fucks. She has shown zero remorse for her beliefs, just that it's affecting her. She has no intention of coming around, and if she does, I was never going to be the voice that gets her there, unless she happens to stumble into this thread. I doubt think Fox news or OAN or whoever is regurgitating this to their base, so it's a moot point.

    Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone.

    I'm not pretending to be a saint, but my moral compass is better than Shirley's, and I know that from the couple of sentences she said publicly. Also, God's fake and sins are a bullshit social construct. I throw as many metaphorical stones at stupid cunts that I want.

    It's a reference to a silly story where the lesson is to not be a judgemental shithead just because someone else fucked up.

    Yeah it's the bible. I don't care if God is real or not, nor your opinion on it. I also use references from the writings of Vonnegutt, the music Dolly Parton, and 90s anime.

    Because you can get moral lessons from fiction. We do it all the time. My reference isn't even that deep. But somehow the ten word literary cudgel I bludgeoned you with still didn't make the point. It's a cautionary statement.

    You are acting like the crowd of shitheals that wanted to stone a woman to death, just like in the biblical story. That's not a good look nor is it a good indication of your 'moral compass'. Sorry I thought you could infer that from my one sentence quote from a very well distributed piece of literature.

    I never expressed any desire for harm to Shirley. I want guilt to eat her alive. You're also claiming she fucked up like it was an accident, and it wasn't. She's a shitty person and Idgaf if it's a bad look to express that out loud. If she were to come out and genuinely try to repent for her actions and express true remorse, I'd say she has learned something and hopefully will do better, but that's not what's happening.
