Read a post from a MAGA, but not your typical, hateful MAGA. She said she voted for Trump in 2024 because she hadn't had much of a raise for four years -- she's a CNA with stagnant wages.
She just posted that she is devastated. She learned that this year, she would get no raise at all.

Combined with "I'm just not into politics" and you see how we got here.
Maybe this is an argument for better education.
We're supposed to be welcoming and not shame them for their choices in order to grow the tent, but forgiveness requires contrition.

I don’t.
I’m furious at them.
I think “they asked for it”.
He’s a liar - the worst ever. Their votes were founded in wishful thinking, willful ignorance.
(And I think it has to be admitted that widespread ignorance and lack of civic engagement is a societal failing that has to be addressed if/when we get our democracy back.)
Those all seem like fairytales right now.
Mandating learning does not work. I'm afraid that we need some sort of complete revolution in American society, but not the won we're getting.
So I'll sit back and watch the leopard that she voted for eat her face.
I know it sounds like a plug but many people here could benefit from watching John Green's crash course on American history & World history.
it's perfect edutainment. and after, at least we can have a conversation.
But we need them, so I’ll get past the anger and into empathy — someday.
Fuck these people. Enjoy what you wanted to inflict on others.
If you vote for a genocide, even a ‘soft’ dem backed genocide, you wear the same genocidal label.
It’s tough shit that dems couldn’t beat a convicted rapist
But they screwed all of us over in the process of not knowing--or caring--what their vote would unleash.
this colossal asshole voted to harm others, and when the harm comes to them, they earned it
and after a decade of effort, I could probably count on one hand the number of people I know who were talked out of the cult
Some find their way most never will
Get ready for soup lines & Hoovervilles. Plant gardens.
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
I was devastated myself, on Nov. 6th, for everyone, not just myself. Now I'm just pissed.
So still a typical hateful maga.
I hope she stays devastated.
Y’all need to stop making excuses for these people.
1) call, write her senators and congress members to complain
2) get involved with groups like https://indivisible.org
She won’t be getting a raise, inflation will skyrocket and she will be lucky to still have a job.
Tell her to buckle up.

Rural dumbfuckery hurts themselves twice.
Denial is easier for a mind susceptible to slogans and rhetoric.
I've already seen posts about how paying more for eggs is a patriotic duty. Cognitive dissonance in action.
Too many Americans live in a fantasyland.
The average worker will soon be the below average wage worker.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

There is also the EU working time Directive. No more than 48 hours over multiple employment
It'll be an eye 👁 opener.

On the other hand, why bother with what MAGA are thinking, doing, at all? If they support T, if they're not, so what? They are a very small minority, economically devastated, uneducated, no desire to better themselves. Pointless.
