She actually said that she thinks he's doing a great job at the border, because it doesn't really have an effect on her. The SNAP benefits do, so she regrets her vote. Yikes, these people are so selfish.
I'm convinced an utter lack of empathy is the reason why there's a constant 40% support of Trump.
How many times do you read stories about some Republican politician or right winger suddenly be not as horrid toward "the gays" because their kid came out? (Admittedly, that seems to happen a whole lot less now)
These people just can't put themselves in the shoes of anyone who isn't exactly like them.
They think empathy is the greatest sin, yet so many of them claim to be followers of Christ. The cognitive dissonance is just off the charts.

For me it's not even that, I'm geeedy, i want a stable, happy society because that makes for a happy life for me. I don't want to have to deal with homeless when I walk down the street, so I want social housing and healthcare for them. I don't want unwanted children in society, so women haveing total control over reproduction is vital.
Any modicum of reseach can show you the dangers in society when there are large levels of wealth inequality, it literally destroys society, so i want high taxation of wealth and high death taxes and legislation to restrict incomes and capital.
Any sane person looks at cars and tranportation and the deaths from pollution, noise, urban sprawl, accidents and destroying the enviorment, so i want decent cheap electric public transport and cycling infrastructure.
I know when i travel, visas and borders are fuxking annoying and i don't want them at all. People only up and move from their family and friends if something toxic is happening , so let them, I'd want the same thing for me
I'm the anthesies of most people it seems, I was conservative when I was young, had a STEM degree but the more i read and observe the more I understand most conservative view points are mostly toxic to a livable society.
Religion should never be involved in state affairs, including ALL education, it's pernicious, people should be horrified to see "In God we Trust" in their justice sustem but here we are.
And now consider that empathy is a learned skill. And that it requires both shitty parents & education to remain completely undeveloped. Then think about the timeline. The Great American Project To Make The People Putty In The Hands Of The Few Again is nearing fruition.
On the daily they had one WV resident literally saying "if we go hungry I'll have to resort to any means necessary to eat" and I very nearly drove into a fucking pole yelling at the radio.
Like holy fucking shit, what a way to figure out that social safety nets are tools which preserve social order and not just some feel good charity. If only someone had been explaining this to you constantly for literally a fucking century.
Yes, they are horrible horrible people.
whites will literally put racialized people’s suffering over their own wellbeing
white privilege is a hell of a drug
Uhhhh, watch the video, she doesn’t really regret voting for him nor does she state she won’t in the future.
This is: the leopard should stop eating my face, I like it eating other people’s faces. I’ll keep supporting said leopard but it better stop!
She just wants brown families broken up and brown kids dead. That, she admitted, was great. She just wants socialism for just her white kid.
These people really need to be ripped into through interviews. "Why? The party you voted for won, they're doing exactly what they promised. Why are you upset now? Go enjoy the day out there, celebrate that they won and you're getting what you vote for while the rest of us suffer!"
"I didn't care until it affected me."
this selfish asshole clearly doesn't give a fuck about other people, only herself
I hope she fucking suffers. she's getting what she voted for. be happy about it.
Don't care. I have zero sympathy.
She didn't give a shit what happened to other people and only changed her tune when it unexpectedly happened to her. Fuck you. You are the worst type of asshole and deserve what you get.
I feel bad for her daughter though. Don't know who she voted for but it doesnt matter. We are the richest country to ever exist. There's no excuse for people going hungry.
She voted for the shit sandwich smothered in orange sauce. Zero sympathy. However, 40 million hungry people might make the grocery store parking lots a dangerous place, especially for elderly people. I could see grocery bags getting snatched thanks to the MAGA fucknuts.
I'll believe it when they stop voting Republican
"They were supposed to cancel other people's snap, not mine!"
I know it's karma but the needless suffering still sucks.
Don't feel remotely sad for her or any others who voted for this because they wanted to hurt others. I do feel bad for the others who voted against it and are still being hurt.
they wanted to hurt others.
That's not inherently true. They watched their various costs of living double at least under Biden. Did you honestly expect people to continue to vote Dem when Dems, through their political activity, prioritized things like Israeli genocide over Americans struggling to put food on the table?
This is a legislative branch issue not executive…learn to regret the people to blame….
"If you're the wrong jersey color we don't care if you starve."
Helluva campaign slogan, Dems. You totally don't need those votes in 2026 and beyond.
If you voted for people to suffer, don't expect sympathy when you suffer at the hands of who you voted for
A lot of them didn't vote for people to suffer.
They voted for change because Democrats prioritized genocide over helping American families' ability to put food on the table.
Only a complete Moron would vote Republican if they thought they were voting against genocide.
