What disappoints me most about his supporters is that their entire platform is about HURTING others.

Taking away rights.

Taking away benefits.

Taking away a path to citizenship.

It’s a platform based on cruelty.

They hate their lives and prefer if everyone suffered rather than solving it.

Sad.

When I think about Joe & Mika appeasing Trump so they can maintain their comfy lives, I think about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss enduring years of harassment for simply doing their jobs.

So when Joe defends it by saying people need to live in the real world, he should respectfully go screw himself.

I know Terrie. What’s going to be interesting is when that cruelty is turned towards the people who voted for him.

They think they’re “special” and his policies will only “own the libs.”

Wait until they find out they’re not “special.”

Voting for Trump because your grocery prices were lower four years ago is like voting for Trump because your favorite team won a championship four years ago. He had nothing to do with either. Presidents don't control grocery prices, greedy corporations do.

But ppl were objectively uninformed on the economy - due in part due to disinformation from MAGA land. They thought we were in a recession for most of Biden’s term!

Under Biden ppl made big gains wrt income - the income gap was reduced significantly.
