Most of the people profiled in this article rely on some form of public benefit that they need to survive. Yet, they voted for a guy who said he would cut those benefits. Now that he’s won, they hope he won’t deliver on his campaign promises. 👌

This low-income, low-information American came up to him. Big tough guy. Tears streaming down his cheeks. He said, "Sir, I voted for you to fuck over other people...not me!"
The Democrats need to figure out how to manipulate people like the GOP does. The people with lower IQs are easily manipulated and will follow the best manipulation.
The job of a journalist interviewing these people is to show them the section of p2025 where they explain removing the social safety net, and ask why they voted as they did. Give them food for thought. Make them realise he lied
Reminds me of a rancher profiled on NPR who laughingly admitted he got more per head of cattle under Obama than he did under Felon47. Clearly these are not intelligent people.
they voted against their own self interests because they wanted to hurt other people. Period.
In doing so, they ended up hurting EVERYONE, including their country.
They can shut the fuck up and reap the consequences of what they've done, I have ZERO empathy for them. ZERO.
I feel this in my soul. I actively search out stories like these because it reaffirms my belief that the universe gives you what you ask for, just rarely the way you wanted it to be delivered. They got what they wanted - now they are getting what they deserve.
And we all have to pay the price of their stupidity.... education is a must, and increasingly, a dream, since gutting public schools is another feature of the Republican dream.
The rose colored glasses of maga voters are turning dark as they realize that voting for him did come with "special friend" status. The door to hell opened for them also.
The raw irony that these are likely to be the only promises he keeps. They’re ants to him. Nothing. Less than nothing. The sooner they realize that the sooner we can claw this country back to some semblance of respectability. I’d much rather be the enemy within than the rube cheering it on.
Have family I know,100% maga.Son has rare genetic syndrome,he’s 6.Guess what they rely on for medical care? Medicaid.Now,what all they know to contact their reps abt R bill to cut Medicaid. FAFO!
He does love him the poorly educated. He even said so. 🤷 Sadly, most won't understand their role, or accept responsibility that they voted for ALL this. 🤬
These are the agencies Don the Con has closed and will no longer fulfill services: 1) feed hungry kids; 2) provide medical care; 3) aid families who have lost their homes; 4) demand that corporations don't pollute; 5) promote education. Then we don't need a president. He's a useless figurehead.
No sympathy.
You get the government you deserve.
I have read account after account on Twitter saying they love the hurt he is causing on other people but bitch when it affects them...🖕🖕🖕🖕
I have recently lived in NJ, NC & DE.
Has anyone one else noticed that the shifty manufactured houses or trailers have all the trump flags?

It isn't really all that difficult to understand - these people are third rate morons. If they weren't,they would never have voted for someone who said that he was coming after their benefits. Darwinism has caught up with these people...
Yeah but even animals know who their enemies are. I know their guts have to be telling them something’s wrong. They just aren’t paying attention or they want all this which really is disturbing.
I consider myself a kind and loving person full of compassion and empathy, but I'm not an enabler. My compassion and empathy has limits - I won't enable ignorant people by feeling bad for them. You made your bed, now lie in it or in modern terms, FAFO.
I am not convinced understood his policies or listened to speeches. Like a dog, they just heard meaningful words through filter of bubble. Americans are out of touch with reality. I blame, in part, internet. Can live in your own little space there not touching rest of the world. Only pain reaches.
He acts like he has nothing to lose because he doesn’t think he’s going anywhere. Remember the “no more voting in four years”? What do you think he was talking about?
In the age of the internet and search engines, it still astounds me that people won't take 5 minutes to find out how their lives are going to turn out if they vote for the wrong person.
Check out the recent podcast from "This American Life" called "Ten Things I Don't Want To Hate About You" - It's quite a story.
People will just believe what they want to believe.
In age of internet and search engines, with tracking and profiling delivering search results, is no surprise people deluded by propagandist websites are not well-informed.
I think it’s less a function of the technology than lack of deductive reasoning. If the guy trying to get you to vote for him is saying the same things he was saying the last time he won, and he did exactly none of that the first time, how squirrel-headed do you have to be to believe him this time?
Poor people are stupid. Unfortunately 100% of poor whites have been told to blame their terrible lives on blacks and browns. But it’s really their fault because they vote for people who exploit them.
With Trump acting like a dictator and Musk doing whatever he wants with government budgets I can’t wait to see how they spin everything bad that happens to them onto an imaginary all powerful deep state!
They don't understand how anything works, so of course they think trump will spare them and can't see how republican cuts can make their lives miserable
Trump voters deserve every bit of discomfort, chaos and... let we say it, destruction, and deaths they voted for. Granny, get thee upon that ice floe you worthless wretch. You have nothing left to offer in Making America Great Again.
That is weird how they thought the statement "we're going to get rid of all Federal employees", didn't apply to them. They actually trusted that their yard signs would guarantee only the "corrupt left" would be shit-canned. Do they still fucking trust him?
“On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
Look, we already know there are at least 2 #RussianAssets leading the #FederalGovernment the best way to assure they have #NoPower over #Anyone is if the remaining #FederalWorkforce went on #Strike until #Congress did THEIR JOBS to #Impeach and #Convict WE THE PEOPLE still have #ThePower and
Retired Federal employee here and it is illegal for Federal employees to strike or to sue. Unlike trump and Elon they wouldn’t get away with it, they’d be arrested.

Doublespeak and Doublethink is back.

His TEAM and the rest of the GOP never stopped saying they were coming after it.
The willfully clueless are now finding reality cannot be ignored. Facts actually DO matter.
Problem is, Biden was too clever. He spread federal largesse all over the red states.

India gave the world Gandhi.
America gave the world Kash Patel.

Same energy here.
Who are the evil overlords gonna use for slaves if they starve off all the poor folks?
Apologies to anyone younger than 40 for the commercial reference that you wont get.
All I can say is hahahahahahhahahahahaha FU. You got what you wanted, live with the consequences and the pain you wanted to inflict on others. Morons.
If they’re even aware of, it’s existence
Because what I see is Denial ….
An entirely different proposition
…and what they’ll do when it does
It goes bad, they can rightly fuck themselves
True in his day, and even truer now! :(

Man, was he right. To all of our detriments.
