MAGA Supporter Regrets Trump Vote Over Benefits

Another day, another regretful Trump voter getting roasted on the internet. In the r/LeopardsAteMyFace subreddit, user u/MoreMotivation shared a truly absurd exchange between two MAGA supporters.
Everything started when someone tweeted about the Trump administration's proposal to slash rental assistance. A woman (who I'll call T) wrote, "I'm not sure about this one. My mother is 88 years old and only draws $926 Social Security and $86 retirement ck. She lives in a Section 8 202 property for seniors and disabled and rent based on her income. She really needs this apt."
A man (who I'll call C) replied, "Needs to pull up her bootstraps unfortunately instead of sucking up taxpayer dollars."
But T didn't like that! She responded, "Wow! She's 88 frail, and has health issues but I guess she can go back to work!! Why would you say that? I do agree that healthy able bodied young people should be off Section 8."
C wrote, "Sounds like a lib begging for a government to pay her rent. Not cutout for MAGA." LOL.
T replied, "I am 💯 MAGA, voted for Donald Trump 3 times! My mother voted for him, too. Her life story is too detailed to go into here, but I can assure you it is not her fault she is living there. I agree people lie and get benefits they don't deserve."
Obviously, people had a lot to say in the comments for this one:
"Sounds like you and Mommy are getting exactly what you BOTH voted for. Enjoy!"
"Ah yes, can't have people sucking up taxpayer dollars except your mom apparently. Also, I am so sick of the 'taxpayer' dollars argument. Somehow, they don't complain about the millions spent on golf or a stupid parade? Plus, if they ask the states to pay for everything, I see no reason to pay federal taxes."
"Sounds like granny needs to stop being a welfare queen if she's gonna keep voting for racism."
"This quote will be forever useful."
"These elderly people just don't want to work anymore… It's a shame."
"She and her mother are getting exactly what they voted for, so why are they complaining? I don't get it. They ordered the shit sandwich, and now they get to eat the shit sandwich."
"Saying, 'You're not MAGA, I'm MAGA' is a real flex for these dolts."
"Looks like [the Trump supporter] is about to get a new roommate."
"I am soo, soo happy he confirmed she voted to destroy her entire life. I was about to feel bad for a minute."
And finally, "It astounds me to see how many stupid people live in America. Dirt poor people voting for a billionaire who they think will have their best interests at heart. So fucking stupid."

Podcast Bro Theo Von Questions How 'America First' Trump Really Is Amid Potential Iran War

Popular podcast host Theo Von joined Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna (Calif.) Friday in taking a hard stance against potential U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict. Khanna appeared on Von's podcast 'This Past Weekend' to discuss several topics, from foreign affairs to AI. At one point in the segment, Khanna promoted the War Powers Resolution, a bipartisan bill he introduced with Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (Ky.) aimed at prohibiting U.S. armed forces from unauthorized hostilities in Iran. During his discussion with Von, Khanna noted several people in MAGA's base who have been vocal about the U.S. not going to war with Iran, including Tucker Carlson and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.). Von agreed with the two conservatives, stating, 'this is a horrible idea.' 'Yeah, people say, 'Well, you don't know a ton about the Middle East.' Like, that's fine. I don't want people I know, my friends, getting called up. I don't want the children of my friends getting called over to die,' Von said. 'I don't even understand how it's an option.' Von, who had Donald Trump on his podcast last year, helped the president reach younger male voters during the 2024 presidential election. Khanna remarked on the influence of Von's interview with Trump, stating the podcaster made the president 'the most human that I've actually seen him,' after the two opened up about the president's brother, alcoholism and cocaine. Last month, Von performed a controversial comedy act at a military base in Qatar before Trump addressed U.S. and Qatari troops. The podcast host has seemingly gotten closer to the Trump family, even having dinner with Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, after they attended his comedy show in Miami. Miami looked good on you @TheoVon ! Come back and visit us soon !😎 — Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) May 14, 2025 Now, however, Von is beginning to question the 'America First' claims that Trump made during his campaign. When Khanna asked Von if he knew anyone who was supporting the idea of the U.S. going to war with Iran, Von responded, 'Nobody.' I asked @TheoVon if he knows anyone who says we should go to war with Nobody. I feel like it was supposed to be America first. — Ro Khanna (@RoKhanna) June 20, 2025 Von went on to tell Khanna that 'it feels like we are just working for Israel,' and that he believes a lot of Americans are beginning to feel 'disillusioned' by U.S. leaders. 'I felt like it was supposed to be America first, like, we're focusing on, like, 'What are we doing to get things back into America,' right? To like, increase like the purpose of being an American, to refill our hearts with blood and ... make us feel something again here, and make us be excited about being an American,' Von said.
