The find out phase is going to be spectacularly awful.. well deserved and was completely preventable.
I feel for the ones who are the victims who did not want any of this, yet we are all on the same sinking ship.. and they didn't bring enough life boats.. just enough for the 1st class... again
I watched a TikTok today where a person was talking about her MAGA family members. She said something along the lines of "I will no longer set myself on fire to keep you warm." It perfectly fits with how I feel.
Love Jess's posts! As a fellow Missourian she finds just the right words to define the Show Me state's unique position...proud of our past Democratic homegrown President Truman but stuck with red tape in current state politics.
Just got a new roof. I asked the contractor who hired the roofers if he was worried they’d take their roofing company to a more friendly state. He said Trump was only talking about criminals so they didn’t need to worry. When I explained how innocents get caught up in major sweeps, he looked sick
I had some work done on my bathroom (doing it b4 Trumpflation). Contractor was voting for Trump b/c "he'll lower taxes." I said you won't have to worry about taxes when all your workers are deported. I asked him if he cares about his workers, he said they are like family to him. 🤷♀️
My roof was replaced without migrant labor but that was because we have a lot of Amish around here. Thank goodness I got it done when I did, because the materials costs for doing that kind of job now are about to go through any roof you can name.
Thing is, we’re liberals: if we “win,” we give the people who voted against us health insurance and schools. So I’m not gonna feel bad about trying to win!
I don't care what they're told, what they believe..none of it. NONE. They're welcome to spin themselves into a dither if they choose and I will

WALK AWAY
AND NOT LOOK BACK.
It becomes the problem for social workers, emergency rooms and lots of medical professionals. How many people have to suffer before folks care? WWJD indeed.
No it's not. It's the portal that opens as a pathway back to their sanity, if they choose to take it. It's the only way that can lead back for these cult members, this gift of suffering...which includes a big assumption that they ever were sane.
I’m of the opening when the kids get kicked out of those schools that took their voucher they should not be able to enroll back into public schools. Sorry your funding is gone.
If my kids lose their Medicaid coverage we won't be able to afford their braces. See how that problem solves itself!? Yay. Now my kids can grow up the same way I did, poor and with insufficient medical and dental / vision care. Yay America! Are we great again yet?
Vouchers never work. It's called price sensitivity. Private schools raise the price of tuition by the amount of the voucher, families pay the same as they were before out of pocket, the private schools make more money and the public schools suffer with less funding.
This is part of their playbook…stop funding public schools, force a voucher system, raise tuition for those vouchers, keep middle and lower income students out of schools, dumb down Americans - no more “woke” culture. The End.
My maga neighbors, who lost a kid to cancer, voted for the guy who stole from kids with cancer.🤦🏻♀️ They're now elderly and he's a stroke victim in a wheelchair. Wonder how that's going to work out for them. 🤔
I don't care. I'm going to lose a lot, too--because of them.🖕🏽
It's damn ironic that people who bitch about welfare but can't afford private school want a "voucher" (read "welfare") to send their kids to a school they can't afford.
Most of the more prestigious pvt schools in NC won't accept a voucher, only the old segregation schools & Christian academies.
We have a local MAGAT owned business here that I’ll be interested in their reaction if/when half of their employees and 30% of their customer base is rounded up and deported. 🤔
It is everyone's problem when people are bankrupted because of climate breakdown. Just as it is everyone's problem when every citizen doesn't have equal access to free public health care, education and social services, affordable housing and living wages.
I am no longer trying to protect people from their own stupidity. Instead, I'm stocking my pantry and deep freeze, getting set up to start growing/ canning some of my own veggies, paying off all my debt, etc so I'm better able to withstand the chaos that's coming. Everyone else is on their own. 🤷♀️
I have legit seen people royally pissed off that they were losing their ACA coverage say, "But I voted Republican because they were gonna get rid of Obamacare, not my ACA!"
So many are screwed if the ACA goes. 😅😭 I was supposed to see a specialist for a formal diagnosis of a genetic issue I have and now I’m waiting because I don’t want it to be labeled a pre-existing condition. (Luckily I can still treat it the way I need to without that for now.)
We all know they'll still blame outward - it's the Dems, it's bird flu, it's the DEMS - basically anything to avoid having to deal with the actual truth that they've been following an absolute moron for 15 years.
Yes! Jess, some activist friends and I have been obsessing over Mel Robbins's "let them" theory and especially how it might apply to the MAGAs in our lives. Yes, we need to mitigate harm where we can. But people voting against their interests? Persisting in willful ignorance? Let them.
Even as The Party prepares to cause major chaos on a global scale, they still can't see it coming.
And when the chaos affects them personally, they'll blame everyone else but themselves and the fascists they voted for.
History repeats itself.
Thankfully I'm white in Arkansas and on Medicaid (disabled), and half of all births in AR are paid for by Medicaid (highest maternal mortality). Sarah won't cut Medicaid because it covers too many white people and would hurt the future child labor population.

I'm sorry that I'm unable to feel sorry. I wish I could but I'm just not able to anymore.
We ALL will suffer.

I'm done.
Weird? Lol
The idea doesn't even make sense for the trump fans.
Guess they just like paying for the rich city kid private schools?
🫣🫣🫣
Then I unmuted, and...life there seems the opposite of "Whoo hoo!"
MAGA doesn't get economics.

Just like noone* sees every insurance company dropping all but their healthiest policy holders the moment that the ACA goes.
After all, it's not like there was a vascular disease which infected 2/3s of all Americans, right?
(* everyone saw this coming)
ALL of us should in-mass.
Until ALL OF US decide we've had enough.. nothing whatsoever will change.
