When Donald Trump lauched 59 Tomahawk missiles at a Syrian airbase last night, it took a lot of observers by surprise, none more so than the Alt-rightists and fellow travelers who’ve long made up his most fervent fan base. To say they weren’t pleased would be a gross understatement.
“The memes have turned on us,” the person manning the Twitter account of White Supremacist website Virginia Dare Tweeted sadly. “Kek is fickle.”
Prominent Alt-Rightests and fellow travelers, from Richard Spencer and David Duke to RAMZPAUL announced that they were done with Trump, while anonymous Alt-Rightists with nicknames like Fashy American and WaffleSS cried “betrayal” on Twitter.

Did Trump promise another war in the Middle East when he announced his candidacy? At the RNC? Inauguration address?
Total betrayal.
— Richard Spencer (@RichardBSpencer) April 7, 2017
There was no 4D chess strategy. Trump is just a liar. He betrayed his voters and supporters.

Even the Son of God, or at least someone claiming to be Him, had some choice words on the subject.

Some pulled out the dreaded “c” word. No, not that one; the other one, the one that ends in “uck.”

America has a boomer cuck problem. Yesterday, Donald Trump proved he is, in fact, a boomer cuck too. #boomerang

Others went a step further, pulling out a certain three-letter-word starting with “J.”

It seems clear that Trump’s Syrian attack has lost him a good chunk of his Alt-Right supporters, quite possibly the vast majority of them, a fact not lost on his angriest Alt-right critics.

Trump just lost his online army. But I'm sure his new neocon friends will stick by him, right?
— VDARE (@vdare) April 7, 2017
The #AltRight is now totally independent of Trump, and this anti-West, pro-terrorist foreign policy. Organize, organize, organize.

But a few of his longtime fans couldn’t quite stick the flounce. Lat night, Alex Jones employee Paul Joseph Watson announced dramatically that he was “OFF the Trump Train.”
I guess Trump wasn't "Putin's puppet" after all, he was just another deep state/Neo-Con puppet.
I'm officially OFF the Trump train.
— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) April 7, 2017
But today, after losing some of his Twitter followers over his Trump criticism, he insisted that when he said he was “OFF the Trump Train” he didn’t really mean “OFF the Trump Train” as in literally OFF of it. He had really just meant to imply that maybe he’d just moved to another car?
I am off the Trump train in terms of Syria, which I will criticize, but I have not "turned on Trump" as the media claims. Fake news.
— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) April 7, 2017
There were others in and around the ALt-Right who had similarly, er, nuanced responses to the Syria strike. That will be the subject of at least one future post.

Truly, another brilliant bit of governance from Mr. Fuck-the-left.
The alt right have been the true cucks the entire time. I feel little sympathy for people who voted for Trump precisely to spite and screw over people they didn’t like. I mean really, Trump supporters took this long to realize their god emperor was from the system?
..but will the ride-or-die trump supporters and the alt-right fight each other! Will this system of hatred, bigotry and ignorance finally collapse on itself! Will they realize that they did, indeed, voted for this!?

@Policy of Madness
What they mean is they voted for Fuhrer Bannon, not for President Kushner. Richard Spencer said it somewhat subtly:
Emphasis mine. I wonder what he could mean by that?
I think this gif is a good approximation of what a battle of wits between ride or die Trumpkins and disillusioned Trumpkins would look like.
There’s a heap of people on social media saying that this is all a conspiracy of the Jooz to start a war, and Trump has fallen for it. They are very shocked and disappointed.
It would be incredibly funny if (a) it wasn’t recycling such stupid old ideas, and (b) they weren’t saying shit like “who cares if Arabs got gassed?”
@Fujimoto,
I saw this on Angry White Men, too. The Twitter handles he comes up with are also endlessly amusing for me 🙂
Yeah, I ran across some tweets saying exactly this, didn’t include them b/c the post was already overflowing w/ tweets. They’re really mad he’s not throwing out all the immigrants and building the wall. And mad at “people like Kushner” hint hint nudge nudge know what they mean well yes they’re a bunch of raving anti-Semites.
I wonder what’ll happen when/if Trump kicks Bannon to the curb.
@Betrayer
To paraphrase Donald Trump, no one knew that Jared Kushner was heavily involved in Trump’s campaign — except the New York Times and other news outlets:
Quiet Fixer in Donald Trump’s Campaign: His Son-in-Law, Jared Kushner
By MICHAEL BARBARO and JONATHAN MAHLER JULY 4, 2016
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/05/us/politics/jared-kushner-donald-trump.html?_r=0
Trump has always represented the enemies of the american people.
Andrew Breitbart’s original intention was for Breitbart News to be “pro-Israel and pro-freedom.” So yeah, Steve Bannon is a shameless propagandist and a total creep who panders to Nazis and pedo-apologists to get what he wants politically.
@Fabe
Nah, their antics make them less super villain, more Ginyu Force. They’re the comic relief as opposed to real villains like Lord Putin and Jong-il Buu.
If you squint really hard, Pepe even looks like Guldo. I also suppose Trump’s ability to change platforms makes him Captain Ginyu?
Want to know something funny? Before Trump won, I posted a comment on a pro-Trump video reading: “You know, alt-right, if Trump wins, then man, can I not wait to see your reactions once you realize he possesses neither the will nor the ability to repeal the 1960s, the 20th century, or the French Revolution. That no, he isn’t some omnipotent messiah who’s going to magically actualize every fantasy of Reddit and 4chan’s collective userbases. That no, he isn’t going to build that wall. That no, he isn’t going to restore manufacturing jobs to the Midwest. That no, he isn’t going to expel all non-whites from the United States. That no, he isn’t going to have Anita Sarkeesian publically drawn and quartered. That no, he isn’t going to issue licenses to shoot college students. That no, he isn’t going to provide every incel with their own government-subsidized girlfriend. That no, he isn’t going to use his manly gaze to hypnotize Angela Merkel and Justin Trudeau into being his foot slaves. That no, he isn’t going to chop the heads off Muslims whilst dressed as a Knights Templar and surrounded by a golden halo.” (These weren’t my exact words, but this was the general gist of it). Of course, the other commenters responded by flaming and downvoting me.
Well, all I can say is, who’s had the last laugh now?
…How was that not already obvious given, y’know, his whole presidential campaign…?
You have to wonder how people keep falling for lofty promises made by a politician, only to act surprised when they aren’t fulfilled – it occurs on a consistent enough basis to the point it’s almost telegraphed. You have to take such things with a grain of salt, really, because they are said to gain votes rather than being in the realm of possibility.
RAMZPAUL sez :
There is not enough facepalm.
Anyway I’ve been watching the rats abandon ship since this thing started, and there’s been some “interesting” reactions so far. Including hypotheses ’bout the Jooz are mind-controlling Trump and shit.
At exactly no point do they stop and consider that maybe, just maybe, propping up an idiot and establishing his personality cult for him was a bad idea in the first place.
Even amidst all the anger and gnashing of teeth, it’s good to know that these Pepes still think very, very highly of themselves.
“Yes, Mr. Trump, you should be very afraid of my katana and my nerf gun. My tactical knowledge comes from years and years of playing strategy games. I have enough experience with Call of Duty to know how to reload an assault rifle. We are very good at organizing, just look at our live meetings.”
God I hate these pathetic, scummy, entitled, self-important little shits. Especially since they still blame all the problems the American imperialistic capitalism causes on Jewish people and immigrants. You have learned nothing, whiny, privileged nihilists.
I can never get over the fact that it is so common for people to think “well, this person who has lied to everybody else would definitely never lie to me! I’m a special little snowflake unicorn apparently!” Someone who would no doubt sell his own mother’s organs if it meant getting ahead will not feel loyalty to a group who worships him like a god.
Aaargh, I’m getting so angry that people as thoroughly rotten as this even exist. I’m gonna go before I break my monitor in anger.
Yes, I mad, bro.
Please can someone explain this to me? I am really sorry that I am slow on the uptake. I am a Brit who has lived in the South Island of New Zealand for the last ten years, therefore I am not nuanced with US politics. I thought that the alt-right were with the neo-cons or actually counted themselves AS neo-conservative. This is probably really obvious to everyone else. Is the only difference their illuminati ass-hattery and they’re in denial? (This is what I’m assuming.)

“Yes, Mr. Trump, you should be very afraid of my deep knowledge of science, which comes from a couple hours watching YouTube fail videos.”
@Anarchonist
Feeling the same here, man it must be a wonderful place where the worst that can happen to you is be proven wrong, instead of going broke when in an accident, or in crippling student debt, or be ostracized by your entire town for being something they don’t understand, or any number of things that would help fuel their self imposed persecution complex.
The day that minorities become a majority in politics and populations cannot come soon enough. At least for now we can mock them for being the gullible cowards that they are.
@faintingcouches
They’re literal nazis. Nothing less than death camps and extermination of other people satisfies them.
@Ooglyboogles,
Ok…thanks for clearing that one up…
(pours more wine)
I once joked that alt-Right was just another way of saying Kremlin loyalist. I didn’t think that it was literally true.
Trump did what the left said he’d do, and didn’t do the things the left said he wouldn’t, but I’m sure that doesn’t mean we were right. /s
What I’d like to know is what effect, if any, all these desertions are going to have on the 2020 election. I already know, perfectly well, what Trump is going to do during said election: he’s going to say that the reason why he didn’t do any of the things he said he’d do is because Obama or Clinton somehow prevented him, or something, and that if only all of his supporters the first time around vote for him again, he really, absolutely, no shit about it – would he lie to them? – will do everything he said he’d do THIS TIME. Question is, will his former supporters have gained enough perspective so as to not swallow his bullshit a second time, or will they forgive, forget, cook up a fresh slew of Pepe memes and jump off the cliff again?
Oh, who am I kidding. Of course they will. Because they’re dipshits.
