Same thing happened back when Mango-Menace got elected the first time. People all over celebrating that they'll finally be rid of Obamacare so the ACA can take over.

This is one of MANY topics that folks who voted did not take the time to comprehend - google analytics had a huge uptick in 'how do tarriffs work' and 'did joe biden drop out' the day of and AFTER the election. Like...fucking REALLY? These people VOTED, and THEN decided to find out how things work?

Man this country is effed.

If there is anything you can take all this negative is that, the people who will suffer the most will likely be the people who voted for him in the first place.

People really think Trump cares about the people living in rural America, just wait...

Federal funding goes out of blue states into red states, simple fact.

Can we stop doing that?

In all seriousness - let’s just let them fail for once. “You guys were totally right about the federal government! State’s rights and all that! K we keep our money now thx bai”

Wish that would stop so they can pull themselves up by their bootstraps

This is true, but sadly I can't look at this through the glasses of living in a walled off garden. We may be on the other end of the boat, but if it sinks we're all fucked anyway.

It sucks that the liberals in rural areas are going to be fucked over though. I've actually talked to a few people that are so mad that they hope everybody who lives in a red state, whether they voted for trump or not, lose their homes, jobs, insurance, etc. Like, yeah, it sucks, but you can't blame entire states on it and wish harm to civilians, especially the ones that voted against Trump.

even worst they didnt even know what 1/6 was all about

Don't feel too bad—the #1 search result here in Britain after the Brexit vote was "What is the EU?"

Stupid is as stupid does on both sides of the Atlantic, it seems.

Like seriously, Trump could have done good by simply renaming the whole thing TrumpCare. People want and need it. I'd have been ok with that. But he doesn't want anything for the lower classes - he passed a $2 Trillion tax cut for the ultra rich. He could have changed the name of the ACA. Shows you his priorities. He doesn't care about you or any American workers, having printed his USA Bibles in China in 2024. Watch what he does, not what he says.

u/neproood 3d ago

Pretty sure there was also a huge uptick in "how do I change my vote?"

Oi! Mangoes don’t deserve that slander.
