'So, after walking through the ashes of a democracy they helped burn down, suddenly this is the line? This, the one thing we all warned them about, is where they decide to draw it?'
As a Viral Resident Writer at BuzzFeed, I cover politics, trending news, and pop culture through a lifestyle lens. There are plenty of stories online about Trump supporters who finally see the light. Oftentimes, it takes a personal tragedy for them to abandon longheld views, such asTrump made about the Epstein files.
Initially posted to Facebook, his MAGA break-up announcement has made its way to the:"I was one of Trump's biggest supporters. I defended him through everything. Media attacks, investigations, indictments, nonstop chaos. I stuck by him because I believed he was different. I believed he was going to drain the swamp. I believed he was going to expose the corruption. I believed he was going to take down the people hurting children. That was the whole point. He campaigned on cleaning house. On exposing elite criminals. On protecting kids. And I bought it. Fully.""So when I watched him talk about the Epstein files a couple days ago, with my own eyes, and say,that was the moment everything switched. Move on? Move on from children being trafficked? Move on from powerful people abusing minors? Move on from elites being protected? I can't move on from that.""The more I look into it, the more it feels like the same pattern. Protect the powerful. Cover up the truth, shift focus. If you campaigned on exposing corruption and then dismissed the biggest corruption scandal involving minors in modern history, what conclusion am I supposed to draw? Either you're in on it. You're protecting someone. Or you never meant what you said. And that's betrayal. I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a liberal. I aligned more closely with Republicans because their values matched mine more closely. But I'm done pretending there's some moral high ground in either party.""It's not Republican vs. Democrat. It's not left vs. right. It's not red vs. blue. It's us vs. them. They divide us with race baiting, culture wars, endless outrage cycles, while they protect their own, grow their wealth, and tighten control. Meanwhile, regular people fight each other for scraps. And I'm not playing that game anymore. He didn't just disappoint critics. He alienated the people who believed in him the most.""I know I'm not the only one who saw that moment and felt the shift. So no, I'm not a Republican. I'm not a Democrat. I'm officially nothing. I'm never voting again. If this is how the system works, I'm not participating in it again. Your Attorney General said if they prosecuted everyone in the files, the system would collapse. Let it collapse, let it burn with all these sick fucks in it. RIP MAGA."And to really drive the"RIP MAGA" message home, the poster includes this photo of their MAGA hat being thrown in the trash."I'd be more sympathetic if they hadn't spent 10 years ignoring everyone desperately trying to explain this to them," one person,"'Media attacks, investigations, indictments, nonstop chaos' were all things done to try and stop him and try to warn you at every opportunity. But I'm glad a decade later you've come to your senses."Other people wondered why this man's outrage for Epstein's victims didn't extend to any other vulnerable communities Trump has harmed, such as:"Mmm, well, they like our tax dollars going to ICE, basically a modern-day Gestapo, to abuse and kill immigrants and even U.S. citizens. The government murdered two innocent U.S. citizens in broad daylight. They are fine with women dying because of abortion bans.""They support the racism wrapped up in 'anti-DEI' initiatives, which really just means erasing and oppressing minorities. But at least it is not 'woke,' right? They cheer on aggressive tariffs while the economy, education, and our international relationships burn. They are happy to wreck healthcare, even their own. 'No more jabs,' right? Meanwhile, babies and children suffer through measles outbreaks. They ignore the billions that Trump and his circle have made through blatant corruption.""So, after walking through the ashes of a democracy they helped burn down, suddenly this is the line? This, the one thing we all warned them about, is where they decide to draw it? It mattered in 2024. It is too late for their regrets as they wallow in ashes together with us.":"That’s a lot of words when he could have just said 'I’m gullible' or 'I lack critical thinking skills.'" "If only this dipshit had spent five minutes checking on Trump’s history of rape and fraud. But they’d probably say it was a democrat hoax," anotherJokes aside, what do you think about this?
