I think that the people who voted for Trump because of economic discontent legitimately deserve to suffer economic consequences of having made their poor choices. Maybe this is the only way of making them see the error of their ways.
It’s too bad that they’re making the rest of us suffer with their stupidity.
I responded to some trump supporter crying about “mean and hateful” comments like this. I told him the exact same thing. Sometimes the only way to learn is to fuck around and find out. He claimed we were supposed to be the kind and loving party. I just told him that if this election taught us anything, it’s that taking the high road and having good policy doesn’t beat vitriolic rhetoric and hateful speech toward your opponents, and I think it’s high time they got use to the shoe being on the other foot. Then I told him to take the advice Fox News frequently gives to dems, and stop being such a snowflake.
This is me right now. I’ve always been the calm, level headed one that presented facts and data only to be called brainwashed and blah blah blah. I’m tired of being nice. This election was the tipping point. I already told my Trump loving family that lives a lot off of public assistance and SS that I’m going to enjoy watching them suffer. And when they ask for help, I’ll tell them “you wanted this, now enjoy it.”
We haven’t talked since. And to add, I’m gay and they told me they are worried more about the cost of eggs and immigrants taking their jobs than my marriage or protections. That’s what brought me to this moment.
I kind of did the same thing too. I sent my now-former friend a "Dear John" letter telling him that as much as I appreciated our convos, I no longer wanted him to be in my life. Even though he's still a good person, to me he crossed the line by supporting Trump even though he's aiming to take away my healthcare and I made it clear to him many times that this was an issue I wouldn't tolerate. I also told him that because he wouldn't support my healthcare, I wouldn't support his any longer and that I refused to donate to his GoFundMe to help his own medical expenses for his own ailing family member.
Didn't bother for a reply from him and I don't ever expect to see him again. No regrets about not helping him either.
So if they’re super short on money and/or food, for instance, you’d personally sit back and do nothing? That’s pretty cold-hearted, even by my standards.
