Thing is, it’s gonna hit the rural MAGA folks the hardest.
There’s a part of me that wants to go “I told you so…” which is expected…
But the more cunning part of me wants to leverage their hunger, dismay and rage and work to aim it squarely against Trump and the entire MAGA movement.
It’s hitting visible minorities the hardest. That’s clear. God forbid you speak Spanish and look “Mexican”… MAGA will come in at second-worst, perhaps, and some of them will be happy about that.
I’m a moderately intimidating-looking white guy and the fear in the eyes of all the little latina moms in the supermarket when they look at me… It’s so tragic. I’m just trying to be as polite and accommodating as possible whenever I can to quell their fears. Feels like the social fabric is just melting around us.
I’d like to have empathy, and publicly I won’t call out these hypocrites, but I honestly can’t care less if these fuckers starve. I feel bad for the children and helpless that are affected, but the others that voted for this are reaping what they sow.
Yeah, but “he’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting”.
I try to have compassion for people that have made bad choices in their lives, but fucking hell, it is really hard to sustain that for people that voted to hurt other people. Actively wanting that to happen. Not to really improve their own lot in life, but to hurt others.
Exactly. I don’t enjoy or actively seek the hurting of these individuals, but I can’t keep caring about people that repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot. I can empathize with people that make a mistake. I will go so far as to say that people that voted for Trump in 2016 fucked up, but that they made a forgivable mistake. I can’t do that for anyone that voted for him in 2024. There are no excuses. He was a known commodity that detailed exactly how he was going to rule if elected again. Nothing that he had done since January is a surprise at all. There are plenty of rural residents that are grouped with the majority that voted for Trump that unfortunately are being punished for the actions of their neighbors. I have the most sympathy for those families as they aren’t just most heavily affected, but they are grouped up with those other terrorist supporters. The rest, other than the innocent children, can sleep in the bed they made with empty stomach and crippling debt.

They’ll whisper “owned the libs” with their keto breath and die of starvation before they admit their orange god is a fraud.
