My most rabid Trump voting neighbor has a permanently disabled adult son who lives with them who has been on medicaid and SSDI his entire life. |
That so many voted against their self interest is what's scary to me. People are picking on Arab voters because it's such an obvious test case of voting for someone who has no problem with the obliteration of Palestine and has famously promoted the worst kind of Islamaphobia. Elderly folks are another obvious case, given the dire implications for their social welfare net in a Trump administration. In the last case, that's what consuming populist rhetoric and only getting your news from Fox News and your church accomplishes. |
You and your family will be affected regardless. Your quality of life is going to deteriorate on many levels. Same for most of us. |
I've said it for years. I support Democrats and most of the Democrat agenda, but they totally SUCK at messaging. |
I have noticed that those who rely most heavily on entitlements are often the ones most inclined to rail again "SOCIALISM"! |
If he does deport a lot of people, wouldn't that affect the economy somewhat positively? I'm not sure exactly how. Hopefully some people in America would get off the drugs and get back to work. At least they can say their man won. |
I've been saying this for years. If workers don't believe the Democratic Party is the one looking out for their interests, that is a serious messaging problem! |
^ "You're mean, arrogant and smug for wanting to hold me accountable for the consequences of my choices" Gee, your complaints about being held accountable make it sound like you're already having buyer's remorse for voting Trump. |
Won’t it be great? Cut social security agency and any of the feds processing SSDI, cut social services and whatever they send over, lower Medicaid, and let them enjoy liberal tears in return. |
Weird, since somehow we were told Biden and Harris had the power and an endless bunch of posts were fingerwagging, scolding and lecturing us about that. But now suddenly Trump doesn't? Yet another flaky double standard where Dems are held to lofty impossible ideals but absolutely nothing matters for Republicans. Yet another reason why I can't stand Republican strategy. |
Yup! If they make abortion illegal at the federal level, it will be hard for states to override that. And the SC will be set with another 2 younger justices (Alito and Thomas will retire). So 30-40+ years with a majority with 5 justices appointed by trump. And possibly more if Kagan and sotomayor have any health issues (but they won't leave under trump unless they die). Our kids will be 65+ before they see a moderate SC again. |
The tears will be MAGA tears. The liberals will be saying "we told you so." And then the MAGAs will just get mad at us once again for being right. |
+1 Hitler was trash. Yet he came to power and had lasting effects on the country and the world. Fact that 51%+ of the country could not bring themselves to vote for a black woman over the convicted felon, rapist, facist wanna be is a sad state of affairs. This isn't Bush V Gore or Clinton v Bush, where you may not agree/like the other candidate yet the other candidate is overall a decent person. This is something very different |
Well poor americans rely heavily on the government to help them survive. Look at how much federal money the red states take vs contribute. I am ready for Trump to burn it all down. |
Poor people who vote blue also need that support. Why are you so excited to watch them suffer while you count your money? |
