I’m pretty sure the guy was *not* a Trump voter but even if he was, this is about insulin, not a yacht. When someone can’t get medicine, regardless of who they voted for, the correct response isn’t fafo, it’s “I am outraged with you, did you hear about what’s happening to ___? That’s messed up too!”

Trump is becoming unpopular even among some on European far-right.
French far-right leader Jordan Bardella has cancelled his speech at the CPAC after Bannon’s nazi salute. Fool me once, fool me twice etc

sorry, it is unbelievable to me that anyone could look at the actual actions and rhetoric of the trump administration and conclude that its statements about “colorblindness” are anything other than rhetoric
