My 'Zero Sympathy' Policy For Trump Voters Being Crushed By Trump's Policies

[Soph0571]

We’re all more than aware of Donald Trump’s process of ethnic cleansing, euphemistically referred to as his “zero tolerance” policy. Similarly, I have a zero sympathy policy, in effect starting now and lasting indefinitely. My zero sympathy policy specifically refers to Trumnp voters who are just now discovering that their bulbous messiah is actually hurting them financially.

The first example comes to us from the middle West where soybean farmers are coping with the economically crippling impact of Trump’s whimsical trade war against, y’know, the world. Two weeks ago, Trump indiscriminately imposed $50 billion in tariffs against China, forcing President Xi Jinping to respond with a 25 percent tariff on soybeans, smacking Trump’s supporters in the agricultural sector with massive losses.

CNN:
“This isn’t just numbers on a sheet or percentage of trade or dollar value,” said Michael Petefish, a 33-year old Trump supporter and fifth generation farmer in southern Minnesota. Standing on the farm he will likely run for the next 40 years, he added, “This is multi-generational American families, your base, that you are now squarely putting into financial peril.”

Yes, Trump voters entered into a suicide pact by voting for Trump. Maybe there’s hope, though. Maybe at some point they’ll realize politics isn’t sports, and votes aren’t cast based on how pissed the other side will be when they lose. Maybe they’ll discover that thoughtful voting matters — that facts matter, and that, yes, while sometimes “the libtards” make mistakes, we tend to know how to govern and we tend to be more closely tethered to reality, even when it comes to policies that exclusively benefit Trumpland. Conversely, we’ve learned the hard way that there are extraordinarily cruel and stubborn nincompoops out there who will continue to scream “lock her up” while the bank is seizing their farms.

And for them, there ought to be zero sympathy. They own this crisis. All of it.

Heh. I guess no-one told them you get what you vote for

1. "Elections" have consequences... for the 'winners' too

Enjoy, Trump voters.

2. Yep. Can't say they were duped on this one. potus is doing what he said he would do.

When one of the Trumpians whines, my retort will be, "if Melania doesn't care why should I?"

3. Thanks! I'm sure I'll be borrowing your retort in the near future

"if Melania doesn't care why should I?


Because at some point there's just nothing more to say to them.
Their choice in 2016 broke the back of America & unless they now help Dems take power over the Senate & House in a few months, it will die.

That's the bottom line, the end game to their selfish stupidity.

7. Use it as a lever "GOP billionaires lied to you. Don't be a sucker"

Nov 2018 is the key focus.

If we can peel off a small number of the deplorables we can increase the wave size.

No one likes being a sucker. And a decent number of the GOP base has never heard that Fox lies to them to get their vote for tax cuts for billionaires.

Tell them that. “GOP billionaires lied to you. Then they cut their own taxes and screwed you. Don’t be a sucker.”

9. +1. Also remind them Trump-RepubliCONmen will be cutting Medicare & Social Security they paid for.nt

8. He promised them he'd fight trade wars. Now he has a 6-front trade war. . . . nt

10. I love the viz

and that's where this whole administration, from the first family of grifters, now occupying 1600, all the way down to ANY deplorable that voted for a RW racist fascist. They belong on a burning dung heap of amerikan history, put there by our "zero sympathies" for those who use indiscriminate hate based on colour and gender to prop up the pretender in the WH.

All the while they suffer along with the rest of us.

11. When you don't vote for someone you feel is the lesser of two evils...

You get the greater.
