Get fucked! This is what you voted for! Screw the libs who have been paying your fucking utility bills.
Jesus. Basically 2:1…
I feel bad for anyone in Alabama who actually voted Blue. Same as Trxas, its deep red- but I have a huge number of friends who had to relocate to Houston because our company moved their headquarters there and now they’re stuck in this little island of liberal surrounded by gun toting Republicans…
Oh, I get it. I even feel compassion for some of them, even though they don’t have the education, vocabulary or sense to put it into words.
The problem is that most Americans, whether they live in a red state blue state, are unhappy with the way things that have been proceeding for the last 30 - 40+ years. Their way of life has changed. They’ve watched businesses and wealthy and enrich themselves on their hard work and they’re angry that they don’t have a piece of that pie anymore.
They happen to be mad because for the last, I don’t know how many decades politicians, the media, and every preacher trying to convinced them that it’s black people, or immigrants, or liberals, or Democrats, pick a flavor something to hate.
So now they are cheering for the dismantlement of the government and the society that left them behind. They are mad at the wrong people for the wrong things.

It is being dismantled by the same wealthy shits. These people are fucking morons.
President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.“
Yeah, they’re too dumb to notice they’re being conned. I grew up in New York, so I know all about Donald Trump and all his slimeball bullshit And I still find it hard to believe why a bunch of rural farmers and rust belt laborers Believe in a sleazy racist multiple failure of a fake businessman that is Donald Trump.
He could literally care less about some country yokel while he pretends to be an elite New Yorker. Blows my mind that he is the person that all these idiots decided is their champion. How the fuck did Donald Trump convinced the bottom third of the voting public That he was going to fix everything for them?
And it’s fun to watch them all start to get fucked in the ass by Trump for the second time while they’re cheering about it, Unfortunately it is the demise of the country.

I grew up on Kansas in the 80s/90s and knew that he was a slime ball piece of shit. Was completely blindsided when the morons around me praised him for caring about them while also vilifying liberals for being wealthy city folk. It was the most blatant display of cognitive dissonance I’ve ever seen.
Then the news saying he appealed to the rural voters by listening to their concerns was fucking wild, since liberals had been doing the exact same thing for decades!
I remember Chomksy commenting on the “Angry White Man” phenomenon being talked about in the 90s. He said they have a right to be mad (about the financial things), but they have it all wrong about what caused them to be mad…as relevant today as ever.
Except that this will disproportionately impact low-income communities of color that vote predominantly blue.
Unfortunately that is true and part of the reason they are doing it. Their own people are just collateral. They don’t care and this isn’t the first time this has happened.
The ones who bother to vote, that is
He’s taking back $100 each from 2000 households. That’s $2 million dollars. They are supposedly trying to cut $2 trillion dollars in government spending. That’s 0.0001% of their goal. If you were trying to cut $1000 from your yearly budget, this would be 1/1000th of a cent or roughly the value of pocket lint.
Clearly, the cruelty is the point because there is no other tangible result from this.
P.S. I’m still working on my first cup of coffee so don’t be too hard on me if my math is wrong. I still stand by my assessment that the cruelty is the point.
Every cent not spent on helping poors goes into billionaires’ pockets. No amount is too small for their unrelenting greed.
The point you make is important and valid, but I would like to correct the specific numbers for the audience watching from home. 100*2000 is 200 thousand, not two million, which comes to 1/10 millionth of the goal, or 0.00001%. Using the $1000 budget metaphor, that would make 1/10000 of a dollar or 1/100 of a cent.
Don’t feel bad about missing a zero here or there, especially early in the day <3
Yeah, $2 million is nothing to the federal government. This is 100% about cruelty.
Leopards!
They just keep eating and eating.
Wait, isn’t Alabama a red state?
“He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting”
“Low income Alabama residents” is the key phrase. Considering the demographics of Alabama, the majority of people helped by this program were probably Black.
I’d venture a guess that there are an equal number of poor white people in Alabama. Truth be told, Alabama is a festering shithole of a state, and the only reason you don’t hear more about how bad it is, is because they got Mississippi right there making them look good by comparison.
Thank God for Mississippi.
They wanted him to hurt anyone that isn’t one of them. Instead he hurts anyone that isn’t him.

While I doubt it would have effected the end result, a significant part of that gap is due to voter suppression.
