Another Trumper full of regret.

https://gothamist.com/news/why-many-asian-american-trump-voters-chose-zohran-mamdani-in-nycs-primary

"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

I prefer the corpse to the mongoloid republican voter voting against ALL of our self interests.

Rest in piss maga moron.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Bensonhurst has always been a heavily immigrant area - now it’s Asians, before it was Italians and former ussr. It’s kind of weird that she has a problem with it….

[–] Laser@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago

Please note that the first paragraph in the screenshot does not refer to Trump. It's still a Leopard eats my face moment, but not sure to the affordable housing stuff.

at least she's realized and admits her mistake and changed her voting patterns. a huge portion will never have that self-awareness

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago (2 children)

She didnt do that though. She voted for a cunt promising to cut shit she needed and then didnt change her mind until the exact thing she needs was cut. Thats not really learning in the way you need to learn to have a functioning society. Its still narcissism and individualism.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Trump promised he wouldn't cut Medicaid. The thing you should fault her with is that she still didn't get that Trump lies about everything after demonstrating that for his entire public life and an entire presidential administration.

[–] peregrin5@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago

maybe my standards are just lower now because I still see idiots cheering trump as he is literally killing them and stealing their money so long as they think he is "owning the libs"

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

I predict she will still vote Republican the next go around for similar stupid reasons.

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

Did she? She voted based on racism. Nothing she's complaining about suggests she shifted on that.

[–] zewm@lemmy.world 53 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It doesn’t matter to me until it directly affects me.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 12 points 1 week ago

The official motto of the American voter.

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 53 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Mamdani LITERALLY converts Trump voters into non-trump-voters.

Of COURSE the democrat party hates him; he exposes their grift and gets their prey to pay attention!

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago

Zohran keeps things on policy, which is the only arena the personality cult and party faithful can't go.

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He's ruining their plan to lose on purpose

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Precisely. They figured out how to rake in billions of dollars through losing elections. All the money they raise, poof: gone! Gone to "strategists" and "consultants" and "advertising agencies" and all manner of other bullshit that are just legitimate-sounding names for fences who launder the money for them.

It's like the plot of The Producers:
"you can make more money with a flop than a hit!"

Chuck Schumer is Bloom and Nancy Pelosi is Bialystock.

Edit: recast

[–] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 week ago (5 children)

An alarming number of Americans (and people around the world) just vote on vibes. That's the only way you can explain voting for a fascist one election and immediately pivoting to a democratic socialist.

"I like his policies, but..." gestures at brown people

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 24 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Right wing voters would rather vote for a communist than a moderate liberal.

Take notes, Democrats. If you want to steal the right vote, run socialists

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 4 points 6 days ago

It's why right media has to demonize socialism; they don't want people to vote for it.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

Definitely this. Trump could tell his supporters that he needs to shit in their mouths to “own the libs” and they would happily line up mouths open like a bunch of baby birds. (Sorry for that visual)

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Edit: this picture is getting so much mileage this year.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (13 children)

Shirley is a stupid cunt and a racist. I'll happily support her voting for Mamdani, but she's still a piece of shit and I hope she knows it and it haunts her. It doesn't, but I wish it did.

You can’t beat stupid.

You can beat them, but they still won't learn.

She’ll regret it even more when ICE snatches her up.

[–] don@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 week ago

"Imma vote for this dude bc he's gonna get rid of all of the people I hate.

[scary thought]

He won't come for me, bc I'm better than those people."

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 14 points 1 week ago

So she voted for the Wong candidate and now regrets it. Cry me a fuckin river.

~~What support for education is this lady hallucinating about?~~
Edit: stay in school kids

[–] peregrin5@piefed.social 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

she's talking about mamdani not Trump here

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 11 points 1 week ago
