I feel the same. I knew I would get tax cuts under Trump but donated, volunteered and voted for Harris anyway.

My families has wasted so much mental health being upset over Trump for 9 years now that I think I will now just lay low, watch my stock portfolio grow, and just focus on my own family and health for a while. I know many Trump voters will lose their healthcare, social security, their kids may not get vaccinated and their Florida homes may get washed away without insurance and adequate FEMA support under Trump. I cared about these people for a long time, I now need to take a break from it all.

You have just describe a large segment of D voters. In fact, probably most of them. Are you aware?

A large segment of Dems? Really?! Last I checked, the tax income from blue states supports the poor southern and Midwestern red states. Where do smart, educated, high earning people live? In big cities. In the Northeast. On the West coast. How do big cities vote? Let’s be real.

Here is the data of all 50 states ranked by their level of detraction/contribution from the Federal budget, by state:

Some of y'all really need to go touch grass.

When Trump lost he tried to incite an insurrection and made baseless claims of voter fraud. So I really don’t want to hear any complaints about the “craziness” of dems conceding the election and venting about it in a political forum.

I do feel happy that I did not donate a penny, other than my tax dollars, to their disaster relief. Let Florida get washed away in a flood.

It makes me sad to feel this way but I totally agree. No more donations after hurricanes and other natural disasters, not going to care when red states can’t find quality doctors willing to work in their states to provide women’s health care, and certainly not going to care when then voters can’t afford to buy homes, have to help out their parents who no longer get social security and can’t afford to pay for their prescription drugs. Somehow, all of these people will still blame the Dems.

They will blame the Ds because they have been conditioned to think that Big Brother will bail them out if they make poor life choices, spend more than they bring in, don't save for retirement, reproduce indiscriminately, and anticipate the government redistributing income and benefits to them from more productive members of society.

Except for women. This is tragic for all women and girls (and men who actually care about them), regardless of their economic position or political persuasion.

It’s tragic that Democrats are ok with biological men participating in women’s sports, stealing their opportunities, and changing in women’s locker rooms.

And if you stepped away from just your liberal news sources you would know that Trump supports abortion up to a certain point (can’t remember if it was 12 or 16 weeks) with exceptions for rape, incest, health of the mother.

You are aware that trans people are less than 1% of the population and that very few of them are athletes? THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL PROBLEM.

But it sure does work to make some of the most vulnerable among us a boogeyman to win elections.

You SUCK, PP.

Ok, Republicans control government this cycle. Implement a solution.

Already are! Biden’s attempted rewrite of title IX is in the dustbin.

Ok, so this isn’t an issue any more. What to discuss next?

No president can override the Bostock decision.

Breaking news: Trump voters have no idea how their own government works.

To be fair, homes will probably get cheaper in most red states.

Definitely in Florida. pretty soon they're going to have to pay you to move in.
