Its like everyone is in shock because the GOP is doing exactly what they said they would.
As long as others (e.g. brown people) have it worse, and their tribal mindset remains fueled by rhetoric that they are right and everyone else is woke, nothing will change.
This seems the wrong community for this. Probably would have fit better in one of the 4 billion us political groups.

Don’t worry. For most of them when they start understanding that their very existence is seen as a burden, they’ll be happy to say “I’m sacrificing myself for America!”. And die forgotten in a gutter.
Brainwashing can go very far.
When they are the ones dying on the streets from preventable diseases.
They didn’t even realize covid was killing them while they died in droves, so my bet is on never.
My aunt was one of those covid deniers. She argued that if it was as bad as the experts said it was “people would be dropping like flies”. To her it was either people are literally dropping dead suddenly in the streets or nothing is happening.
And they blamed Fauci who Trump hired and could have fired at any time.
Trump didn’t hire Dr. Fauci.
He was Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from November 2, 1984 to December 31, 2022.
Trump hired Fauci to lead the Corona Virus task force. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Fauci
25 upvotes and 4 downvotes for an easily verifiable lie. Fantastic.
Here’s the official text from TrumpWhitehouse.gov that Trump released on Jan 29 2020 announcing that he hired Fauci for his Corona Virus Task Force.
??? Trump hired Fauci to lead the Whitehouse Corona Virus Task Force. Fauci was the director of NIAID. Then Trump threw Fauci under the bus when his base didn’t like what Fauci said. Trump could have removed Fauci from the Task Force. Instead Trump complained like it wasn’t his choice.
Did you mean to lie on the Internet or are you being paid to lie on the Internet?
Fauci was director of NIAID. Trump picked him to lead the White House COVID Task Force. Then Trump threw him under a bus.

Yeah, I don’t know what the fuck I was even saying, I’m sorry.
that’s cuz all those dumbass lazy Americans have become too complacent to do anything for ourselves, and the people that run for office know that and took advantage and now they’re exploiting everything
But that is you guys. The left. You’re the lazy ones. The right got out there everyday and made new messages and spread their view online and in person. The left retreated and used stale tactics that only worked in the 70s.
All that matters to them is that brown people get oppressed, queer people are pushed back into the shadows, women don’t get any rights, etc.
They only marginally care about things like not starving due to being fucked over by the rich.
I find it very strange that so many American women vote to reduce their own rights.
Because they think they are somehow better than other women. As the Barbie movie said, hating women is the one thing men and women both agree on.
…I never had any desire to see the barbie movie. Is that really in the movie???
It was surprisingly good. Not life changing but they had some messages and themes that they wanted to convey and did so pretty damn well.
Gets a little ahead of itself in moments but honestly, there are tons of far worse films released every year.
It’s a really good movie
Yes. It’s actually a pretty good movie tbh. I didn’t have much desire to see it at first either and kind of started watching it out of boredom. But it’s a good watch.
It’s got surprising depth.
Read the Oppenheimer book. Watch the Barbie Movie
American here. As do I.
I know black people who voted for trump. I have zero explaination for you.
Like Serena in The Handmaid’s Tale
Notwithstanding all of the points already made in the comments here, a large number of these people are informed (I use that term loosely) wholly by right-wing media sources anyway, which happily lie to them about the causes of their problems as well as the effects of what their politicians are doing. In short, they don’t believe GOP policies are personally harmful to them because Fox news is constantly blaring at them that the price of eggs and gasoline, why they can’t find a doctor, why they haven’t had a raise in 20 years, etc. is actually all Joe Biden/Kamala Harris/AOC/Obama’s fault, or because the Mexicans up the street stole all the jobs, or whatever.
These people live in a constant roiling, seething ocean of propaganda largely comprised of utter falsehoods that are nevertheless plausible sounding to the uneducated, and they believe all of it.
Think of how stupid the average conservative is, then remember: half of them are stupider than that.
A lack of empathy is a conservative hallmark.

I keep wondering the same thing.
It’s especially galling when I see some cautionary piece in the legacy media about how some Republican policy “might” lead to some negative consequences. As if the Republicans are unaware of that and it’s up to the media to gently nudge them and point it out.
The Republicans are fully aware of the harm their policies are going to do and that’s much of the point. They quite simply want everyone who’s not one of them to die. They’re not only okay with that - they’re eagerly looking forward to it.

The idiots who voted for this thought it somehow wouldn’t apply to them
And not nearly enough of them will admit that they did it to themselves and learn from their mistake
That’s because the sort of people who vote against their own interests don’t grasp the idea of consequences. I’ve heard that science says we don’t fully understand consequences until a certain age. I’m becoming more and more convinced that some people just never develop a sense of consequences. These people really need to be studied.
those people will look at people they despise, and if they’re even worse off, their own suffering will have been worth it.
Answer: when they’re dead.
Probably from not affording food.
