Via NBC:
Amanda Robbins is angry about the war with Iran. She’s angry about the price of gas.
But mostly, the 35-year-old resident of Millersburg, Pennsylvania, is mad at herself for backing President Donald Trump at the ballot box. Not once, not twice. “Three times,” Robbins said while she fueled up at the Penn Jersey Mart here.
“That was my bad. Apparently, I’m an idiot.” Robbins was so fed up that she used an expletive to describe the president: “a worthless pile of s—.”
Nah shes worse than an idiot. Genuine ghoul. The fact that her opinion is only changed by the price of gas and world destabilising war.
At least her opinion was changeable. By something. For many, that’s not the case.
It’s been 11 years since our president announced he was running for office. She would have been about 24. It’s possible that the biggest thing that changed is: she grew up a little.
Idk. Maybe not a ghoul. think she can be angry about both at the same time. People voted for him with the expectation that he would lower prices and decrease America’s involvement in foreign affairs. He duped a lot of the country and they fell for it. People who were struggling economically are still struggling. It doesn’t help that many parts of our country necessitate cars.
As an outsider, I can excuse the 2016 vote because I recognize that people were angry at the system. But the subsequent votes are inexcusable, Trump’s goals and methods were apparent from the get go.
I mean the fact that people seemed to have forgiven January 6th is something I’ll never be able to understand.
Trump is the president U.S. deserves.
Fuck Trump and FUCK the U.S. of WAR.Trump is not the president the US needs, he is the one the US deserves.
you’re right. i edited my comment accordingly
People should be able to change.
There is a path to redemption, and she is at least thinking about taking it.
I watched the video. The article is very short and only picks up on the best soundbite.
They interviewed people at a gas station while they’re filling up. Of course it was mainly about gas prices. The interviewer then says “they also talked about the war and she was against that too”.
Asked what she thinks about The Don rn, she turns to the camera and says the above quote. And that’s all we have.
Compared to the three other people who mindlessly support everything Trump throws at them, I am willing to bring this one back into the fold.
Thank you for adding the additional context. I would but she’d have to be a lot more humble.
Yes and fuck anyone who says otherwise. The pedophile stuff didn’t matter. The immigration stiff didn’t matter. It was only when it financial stung her. The feeling will probably fade.
People need to spend more time interacting with these deplorables before forgiving them for expressing a bit of doubt.
Im in 2 minds about this kind of thinking. Its impossible to know which one it is.
In the back of my mind I’m always aware that anything I see through a screen isnt necessarily reflective of reality. Until I see it for myself I can’t guarantee something is really happening.
If you tell me my hero is a child-raping murderous piece of shit I’ll struggle to believe it because that’s my hero. If youre the bad guy telling me my hero is bad, I’ll double not believe it. Its just possible that for many people, eggs and petrol are the first actual consequences theyre actually seeing.
I’d still rather have people that realized this than have them still be part of the cult. Of course she’s an idiot and I hate her very much for her choice. But literally nothing I can say or do will change the past and bitching about what could have been is pointless.
Oh, she’s still part of the cult. No way she doesn’t continue voting R.
At best she sits an election cycle out
Considering it was only at this point and because of rising gas prices directly affecting her, I don’t really think she has learnt much. She has been willing to accept and in fact endorse an insane amount of psychopatic hateful stupidity up until that point, which I very much suspect she doesn’t regret at all.
Nah. She will vote for him again. Just watch.
Prime example; leopard eating face. It’s only inconvenient when it affects THEM… and in this case, the most trivial way… selfish bitch. I hope it affects her in MORE ways soon enough and at this rate, I have no doubt it will.
Have the life you voted for, cunt.
Yeah, killing brown people is okay for me, but when it affects me, when I have to pay more for gas? Well that’s just un-fucking-accceptable!
– Amanda Robbins, probably
When I see people make statements like this, I tend to disregard what they’re saying. If you aren’t taking concrete actions to help then your words aren’t worth a damn. People can change, sure, but words are not enough.
I doubt she actually recognizes the error of her ways and starts helping affected communities. But if she does, there is a path to redemption that way.
Until then, yes, you’re an idiot. Show us you can be something more than that, if you can.
