        Yeah, I haven’t seen anything about the ACA lately, he gave up on trying to fuck that now I hope. I hate that people think “I want to pay less taxes” then someone says, we can put in a healthcare system that cuts your income taxes by 10% and gives everyone free healthcare and you no longer have co-pays and BS about figuring out of a $5000 deductable before coverage starts is even worth paying. And they say “No”

        Well lobbyists told propaganda machine to tell me it’s bad, so I’ll stick with paying higher taxes and pray I’m healthy forever.

    Watson is getting irritated by what she hears from the new president. “I’ll give it a little more time,” she said. “But I’m not really sure about Trump anymore.”

    Girl, it’s been 5 days since you gave him your vote. And when the time you’ll “give” him is up, what then?

    She said she’s ready to go to Washington to tell lawmakers not to roll back Obamacare.

    You have absolutely no fucking clue what type of government you just helped elect.

    That article shows how stupid people can be. She says she voted for Trump hoping he wouldn’t do what he said he was going to do! She struggled for many years and Obamacare was a big help for her and she voted against it!

    I remember being actively scolded by Republican former friends as heartless and cruel for openly laughing at the Herman Cain Award winners.

    This is just as funny.

    Her mother states that ‘she is smart, but didn’t have the luck of the Irish.’

    … The Irish are a notoriously un lucky people.

    She tells people to imagine walking a mile in her shoes.

    … From the sound of it, if she tried to walk a mile in her own shoes, her heart would fail and she would die.

    She apparently counts as a ‘business owner’ because she hired 3 other people to work for her as a debt collector, when she herself is in massive debt… and she directed her ‘firm’ to work for a doctor so that she could recieve under the table (likely illegal) medical treatment from the doctor.

    This story is so absolutely absurd I had to check whether or not it was posted in nottheonion.

    The amount of ignorance and gullibility, lack of self awareness this woman, lack of any kind of social conscience or morality that this woman, who just seems to credulously support a widely known criminal fraudster and is now worried said criminal fraudster may defraud the nation’s and thus her own healthcare… this level of suicidal stupidity is so astounding that I would absolutely laugh in her face if she told me this story in person.

    Its like a vindictave 8 year old in an obese elder woman’s body.

    She has no moral code, will do anything that benefits herself nonmatter how much harm it causes others, knows very little, and has the gall to throw a pity party when some of her actions lead to extremely obvious negative outcomes… for herself.

    A just world would demand she suffers.

    If she was a character in a children’s fable, she would obviously be contemptible.

    Given her childlike comprehension of the world, this is an apt frame of reference.

    She expresses no self awareness nor sense of responsibility, thus she is literally comically inept and evil, by her own childish standards.

      This woman is not an outlier. The grand majority of Trump voters fall in the same category, and oh boy, are they in for a rude awakening…

      But as Trump himself said “you won’t have to vote anymore” after these elections. Let’s hope to God he was wrong - but I doubt it.

    And I hope she’ll lose that. She’ll go bankrupt, suffer, and die.

    Sucks, but that is what you chose for you. More importantly, that is the fate you chose for others too, so fuck you and die. I don’t care. You suffer and die. It’s what you deserve.

    For years I’ve been the one to be anti punch a Nazi, keep talking, keep reasoning, win their hearts and minds.

    I’m done. Most people are too retarded to think for themselves and (more importantly) for others. I’m actually in favor of restricting voting to people who have had enough education, and said education REQUIRES learning about how populism works, how fascism works, and how government decisions should be based on science. While at it, bad religion. Anyone needing to believe in faeries should not also have the right to vote based off what the faeries want, fuck that.

    Pardon my french here, pardon my coldness here, but I’m done with it.

    Last trump over a million American people died due to trump not doing shit about covid because it would make him look bad. Forget the insurrection, he caused at least hundreds of thousands to die needlessly. He’s a fucking mass murderer by proxy in the lefela of (hate to pull that name in) Hitler. AND PEOPLE VOTED FOR THAT.

    If you’re too dumb to understand that you shouldn’t vote for a convicted criminal who was convicted multiple times for fraud and self enrichment, then you should not have any right to vote

    I don’t care who you vote for, it’s fair enough to want certain things that other don’t, but you don’t vote for criminals, you don’t vote for populists, you don’t vote for people who openly want to be a dictator.

    That said, laws must be out in place for that too. You’re convicted of fraud? Bye-bye, and never come back. You flirted with dictators? Bye-bye.

    Get rid of first past the post and winner takes all and electoral college too, sure, and get ALL money out of politic, but FFS, get rid of voters who as a baby were already too dumb to find the tit to nourish themselves. You do not deserve to have a vote in how a country, any country, is run.

    This “but muh rights!” Is bullshit. You want the right to vote? Fucking earn it. Study. Study history, study politics in different countries and your oen, study how shit went off the rails.

    Ooohh, ban partisan media, all of it, completely. Fuck fox news, burn that building of lies to the ground. Fuck the conspiracy podcasts, burn them, outlaw them. Nothing NOTHING good has ever come from them. Media must be paid by a completely independent group that gets its finance from the government. They pay media companies to employ journalists who do actual investigation and by law have to be independent, and truthful.

    But voting should no long be a right. It should be a duty. Once you can vote, you MUST vote, or get penalized. You can only vote of you study if you actually KNOW what you’re voting for. Free voting had been an abysmal failure.

    And this poor woman? I literally hope you will suffer and die. It will be exactly what you deserve, it’s what you condemned the entire world to, so you “enjoy” what’s coming for you

      People get scammed. It’s sad. They make bad decisions, self-destructive choices, and they’re too stubborn to learn. She probably will die, but we don’t need to wish for it.

      I mean if we’re making up fantasy outcomes, why not just ban conservatism?

      The electoral college is never, ever, ever going away

      But seriously: this is why Harris lost. You people would rather sit around on the internet mocking some dumbfuck for not voting the way you demanded than spend a half second looking at yourself and figure out why telling people they’re stupid didn’t turn into votes.

      If half of America is stupid racist misogynists then you either need to figure out what you have in common with them, or you need to get comfortable the other way of neutralizing them.

      Nazis didn’t stop Nazi-ing because liberals elected a center-right candidate. They stopped because a million Communist men died shooting a million Nazi men in Stalingrad. Mussolini didn’t leave office because he was sad someone called him weird, he left because Audisio shot him and strung him up with piano wire

      I wish we could just hand wave the bad people away, but that’s not how the world works. If you think that having to drive to another state to get an abortion is a “dark future,” you need to get a history book

    “credits Obamacare with saving her life”

    and now “pays nothing” for that insurance plan…

    and yet… “isn’t ready to renounce Trump.”

    nom. nom. nom. leopard’s gonna get an extra helping here.

    she wants “change”

    lady… you gonna get exactly that. in spades.

    you literally saw his kind of ‘changes’ last time… for four years you watched him fuck shit up. and during those same years and for years before and after, literally hate and try to hurt every not white straight male demographic that exists, constantly. hell, he even hit several subsets of the white straight males, too.

    welcome to the hell you helped rebuild.

    I do not wish harm on this lady, but it seems that the registered voters in the USA need to experience the harm they’re doing before they will wise up.

    I’m sorry that so many Americans need to learn this lesson the hard way, and I’m especially sorry for those who are in this situation despite voting against it.

    I’m not an American citizen, but I worry about you all.

      I used to think the same thing and there are people that change their minds. But for a lot of people in the trump cult if something doesn’t work out well they will find a way to blame it on the libs. They are quite practiced in circular logic thanks to their religion.
