Perfect example of them assuming that Trump's cruel, draconian intentions would not hurt "people like them." We are going to see this a lot. Think of all the MAGAs with diabetes who are about to see their insulin skyrocket. It's hard to be sympathetic when we tried SO HARD to warn them.
He could have saved a lot of time and words by simply posting: “I am a huge Trump supporter. He fucked me over. I am an idiot”. That really covers it - the details are extraneous.
As much as I appreciate the schadenfreude, I was a candidate for a software job at a govt department and received email that the job is no longer on offer due to the freeze. It's already a lot worse than even pessimistic scenarios painted.
If only these idiots were the only ones who faced the consequences. I’m furious that Vets and the rest of us who voted Harris will also get hit in one way or another
Screwing his base isn't a policy flaw - it's the core of it. He hates the poor and uneducated.
Everyone is always so surprised when the leopard starts eating their face.
We warned them.
I saw this over on Reddit. These people are part of the, “It was only supposed to happen to them, not me” crowd. There’s going to be a lot more of these comments.
I wish I could find it again, but I read an article the first time around that talked about why people support policies that would hurt them.
Simply, they don't expect the policy to apply to THEM, because they need those resources.
It's other people who should be affected.
The “please retweet so trump is aware” bit…. It’s sad, really. Because they just don’t understand that trump, Elon, Milania, Vivek (😂) et al…do not care, never did care, never will care…but the gaslighting worked, bc they got the votes. That was all they really cared about. And he’s still in denial.
Who's building a scrapbook to capture real-life stories? FAFO. I'm sure Mr. Basham is still proud of his vote, & proud of his family decisions. Mr. Basham? YOUR VOTE IMPACTS YOUR FUTURE, YOUR FAMILY'S LIFE AND EVERYONE YOU KNOW. THIS IS ON YOU. YOU BOUGHT IT. Ignorance costs. He said he'd do this.
Reminds me of the lady in the Florida panhandle complaining about the slow Hurricane relief during the first Trump administration: “He is hurting us, not the people we elected him to hurt”.
Trump specifically talked about reducing cost at the vet office (and many other departments). It's also clearly laid out in Project 2025.
This is what happens when you exclusively follow a single news source and convince yourself anyone who reports differently must be lying.
Or that Trump will only target the same people you hate and magically the sweep will pass your door because he knows all about you and will make sure you get treated special.
Hey John, you & your wife are “huge Trump supporters” & you think Trump’s actions was a mistake because it adversely affected you? Wake up! Trump doesn’t care about anyone but himself. Your problem is you thought you were special, that Trump‘s hatred would not affect you. You voted for this!
I swear a good chunk of the US just can’t see cause and effect relationships. I don’t think it’s formally taught in school, but just living teaches you this. Common sense…don’t vote against your own economic/self interests. Pretty simple, FAFO.
And if they end up living on skid row and eating Spam for dinner every night, they will still be huge Trump supporters. Because it's always someone else's fault.
“This was an unintended consequence.” Hey buddy, we saw this coming. Too bad you weren’t paying attention. And unfortunately, it’s going to get worse, especially if you don’t have a job. Inflation is already back. Just check out the price of eggs and gasoline.

Nice to see Trump has the same disdain for veterans that he has for cops.

Go back to October 2024, decide to vote for Kamala Harris and tell all your MAGA friends to do the same!
