In TN, I can confirm this is 100% correct. The rural counties here are super poor yet scream about how Dems waste tax dollars. Dollars they don't even pay yet keep them existing. I don't wish for suffering, but what if we gave them the chance to see what life without SSI and Medicaid is really like? - ThreadSky

Oh, that will happen. I think these people need to feel and suffer real heavy consequences. My concern is is they will have a complete disconnect as to their election choice and their current state.
You can’t fix stupid, but you can smother it with a pillow.

That's EXACTLY what my husband says, but my heart is still on the "but we can educate them!" side.

Even I have to laugh at my own naivety at times 😂

I feel your hope. Otherwise I wouldn't be hollering on the rooftops to everyone who can hear. Maybe there's one person who's on the fence that we can persuade that this is not the best idea.

IDK I find myself cheering for the asteroid and the pandemic more and more. If we had more Charles Darwin and a little less liberal civilisation we'd naturally have fewer evil morons. The real entertainment starts when liberals "give up" on MAGA.

Your husband both have good taste in women, too. 😉

No amount of factual evidence will EVER convince a mouth-breathing knuckle-dragging magat dipshit.

cashmeremarmot.bsky.social•8 days ago

the few maggots I've encountered don't even want to have a civil conversation.

i ask them to convince me with facts (we can Google them together) and let's talk through it. am always just blocked or scoffed at.

can't educate people that don't want to talk/listen.

I'll laugh at you too. 😂😂😂

Or just deny it its meds

Happening soon enough.

I keep thinking about this comment because it's an important evolution. Liberals are starting to understand that their policies protect conservatives from the consequences of their actions and hence there is never a correction.💡💡💡 🎯 🎯.

The next pandemic will be like Passover IN EGYPT!

It’s that “suffering” part….

parkerpk12.bsky.social•6 days ago

That's the part I can't get over... we're gonna have to step up and help, wherever we can.

Living in North Carolina and working in healthcare I can also confirm that many of these MAGA followers benefit most from these social programs. Many of them simply don't keep up with current events. They have Medicaid and don't know how they got it. They need a rude awakening.

Let them figure it out the hard way. Once they realize all of the programs and organizations they've been demonizing for the majority of their lives are the ones that has kept them propped up, they'll start to realize their stupidity.

taildragger-john.bsky.social•8 days ago

Absolutely Correct. I live amongst die hard MAGA in North Carolina & they have 6 things in common.

No education

Shitty Jobs

Zero critical thinking skills

Evangelical

Racist, Homophobia, Transphobia

Think Democrats are responsible for their shitty lives & vote against their best interests

The problem with this is my 88 year old mother will not survive without social security, Medicare and housing assistance. Without oxygen, she’ll die. And she didn’t vote for the Nazis

es11.bsky.social•8 days ago

I don't live in the US, but in another country where the poorest always vote for politicians that keep them poor. I've lost my empathy towards them long ago.

k8ryners.bsky.social•8 days ago

They scream about federal dollar spent on social service programs that they benefit themsekves, coming from blue states like Illinois & California.

lolalolajoaquin.bsky.social•8 days ago

Don't hurt them more.
