[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My massage therapist is a Trump supporter, she claimed he will be good for small businesses. Past Sunday I scheduled a same day appointment because of some back issues and the place was empty (previously she barely had any open slots), she was very stressed because people have started cutting back on discretionary spending. I was thinking later on that people like her didn't think of anything or anyone else beyond their own myopic gains, now she can join feds and feel the pain of financial stress. I have no sympathy.[/quote]

Yes, people will learn the hard way the severe consequences of following cult leader who doesn't care about working folks.  Hopefully, these people will learn for next election.  When they lose their businesses, that might encourage them to watch other news channels besides fox when you have to cast a vote.[/quote]

You are all weird with all this "casting a vote" thing.  You know well that DC, MD and even VA don't vote red and they didn't.  Your problem is the rest of the country.  Ask yourself a question why the rest of the country voted the way they did, and I am going to argue that Dems simply pushed them too hard, a lot of these issues were not that important and those of us with moderate views and not taking radical sides had been warning repeatedly, dems did this to themselves.  The rest of the country doesn't give a sh** about unemployment in DC or have any sympathy for fed workers or contractors who they regard as evil leeches stealing their hard earned money or at least lazy moochers.  The sentiment on X is downright disgusting.  It demoralizing even for me despite the fact that I've never worked for any gov functions and my employment is not affected by anything in DC metro.

The people on X are losers in life.  They want nothing more than others brought down to their shitty level.  They know their lives won't improve from any of this.

Many are in fact literally on welfare...fake SS disability, Medicaid, etc.  If you want to save $1TN...that's where the money is.

The Post has a story about how a defense company in Central VA had to fire a ton of people and one of the idiot Trump voters made the comment that "I didn't think Trump's election would directly result in my losing my job".  This person is f**ked because they were making far more than the median income for the area in which they live.
