people will blame the media and they’re right and people will blame “the algorithm” and that may also be right but—there is nothing new or unusual about white women accepting bullshit that troubles them if it means they may get theirs

I thought exactly that when I saw this. As long as she got her free IVF, things would be just fine. But at least she spent a whole 15 minutes contemplating it.
And now she gets to play the poor martyr because she was doing it “for the baby”. Like the baby wouldn’t have wanted healthcare, education, reproductive rights, path to a good paying job, etc. But it’s never actually about the baby, it’s all about her status and social standing.
I see your point though I’m not sure it’s completely right. I might be thinking about it wrong tho. How would this compare to the call to citizens to stop voting against their own interests?
Cause she tells you in the article she’s concerned about his treatment of women, LBGTQ people and minorities, but one Tik tock video of this liar promising free IVF got her to vote for him.
She was willing to burn the rest of us so some liar would help her get free IVF, she betrayed her union kin (I know the union canvassed her), and of course he lied. She has no IVF and now, no job or federal health insurance.
She has a cushy federal job, no kids, and a college degree. She didn’t vote against her interests. She voted for him at the expense of others, she has regret because she got burned. Nazi salutes didn’t worry her and her coworkers losing their jobs didn’t. It’s still about her
But it turns out she did vote against her interest, right? She just deluded herself into thinking she wasn’t. That’s what they all are doing. They are conned. You are right- she knowingly chose to screw over a lot of people. She didn’t think she’d be one. And now she’s terminated.
She’s not been conned. She had the information and the time and ability to make an informed decision. He’s following through with project 2025 and his attacks on minorities and women. She knew this. She says it in the article. And she voted anyway.
I'm not taking joy in her suffering. I don't think she's getting what she deserves. I don't think that's how shit works. But I'm fucking pissed at her and I have every fucking right to be. She should've known better and she was willing to do exactly what's happening to her to other people.
I don't. Suffering doesn't have a point. It's just suffering. And Trump voters aren't the only ones suffering from this. But I'm also not crying for her. I think she should feel ashamed.
I'm not trying to tell you how to feel either. I'm just saying that it's good to think about our emotions and what we want to do with them to usefully work toward an actually better world. You can't think away your emotions, you can just think about the direction you put them towards.
I don't know precisely how I feel about this. Part of me is pure 'Enjoy the Leopards' but part of me is fully cognizant of the power of cults and MAGA is a full-on cult. Look at her environment: a full-scale shitshow of disinformation & propaganda. We all know "reasonable" people who have fallen...
She was apparently in an MS program, environmental science is not exactly a bastion of conservative thought, and if they didn't discuss policy they were doing a disservice. That said, one thing that stands out: they didn't discuss politics in her small town. When did this become the norm? It's BS.
I'm not going to give hell to ppl who respond to her with sympathy or give her kindness.
But it's a finite world. Why is your kindness going to her instead of the innocent ppl she injured? It's not WRONG to give your kindness to her, but a lot of ppl need it, and she's not my priority.
I don’t think kindness is a finite resource. I feel bad for the federal workers treated like dirt on the bottom of a billionaire’s shoe, regardless of who they voted for.
Selfish/foolish Trump voters like Ryleigh Cooper - who were only concerned with THEMSELVES & not anyone else when they cast their votes - need to be told EVERY DAY how their vote ruined MANY Americans' lives, handed the U.S. to Putin & will end up KILLING many people. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/health/usaid-contract-terminations.html
She is no different than anyone else who voted for Trump bc they thought they were getting the bespoke treatment and whatever else happened was either a) not as bad as the left says b) not going to happen bc why would he do anything so unpopular and damaging?
That is his margin of victory, so I can feel bad for her personally while still seeing her as part of a significant mass that willfully ignored reality. Whether it was entirely her fault or not is beside the point
She read one issue on FB and TikTok and based her vote on that. Average income there $23,000 but they vote for a billionaire. Kept her own rape secret fearing being called a liar, then called 18+ women liars over a known liar guilty of sexual assault. Sorry but she's where she belongs.
I'm so over these "articles" profiling mournful/regretful Trump voters. His vile behavior, loathsome polices weren't dealbreakers. His felonies? Not a turn off. Do mental back bends (or lie prostrate). Now, they're confronted with the REALITY of buying a false promise + what it cost them
Exactly my problem with this. Not a new formula for mainstream media and not new that a white woman who matches all beauty standards feels she should be able to have all of it and the expensive of everyone.
Hahahahahaha this dumb bitch. Not one atom of sympathy. She votes to erase the freedoms and rights of her own neighbors, to erase history, to erase anyone who isn't a wealthy white man, so she can have a fucking baby. FUCK HER. She got less than she deserved.
Literally didn’t even care about the fucking baby she wants sooooooooop much she’d be perfectly content to birth it into fascism. Yeah, mom of the year material right there.
And before anyone jumps down my throat Twitter style… I’m not condemning people who have babies when the world is shit. But to purposefully work to make the world shit just so YOU can have a baby is a CHOICE.

I harbor enough hatred for both of us. Easily.
If you're trans or an immigrant or a federal employee you should feel ZERO responsibility for supporting her, however bad she feels.
But there's a diff btw choosing not to support (i.e. walking away) and hanging around to deliberately inflict pain. Don't do that, either.
But it's a finite world. Why is your kindness going to her instead of the innocent ppl she injured? It's not WRONG to give your kindness to her, but a lot of ppl need it, and she's not my priority.

She didn’t give a flying f*** about anyone others life, just her own.
ONE SINGLE issue vs ALL THE SHIT IN THE WORLD
And she chooses a flimsy promise about that issue, from a man known for not fulfilling promises.
OMG
