Now people on my retired military board

[helpisontheway]

all concerned because Trump put a freeze on federal hiring. Oh my husband is retiring soon and trying to get a federal job. Or my husband was in the process of being hired and I’m so concerned. No sympathy. They should have been concerned before they voted for him. And yes..majority of them voted for him. 🙄 Now that it affects YOU, you are so concerned. Fine when he targets immigrants, other minorities and lgbtq. 🙄

1. I am sorry for their bad luck, but it is necessary for them to suffer the consequences of their votes

[Orrex]

10. Agreed. I'd love to see every Trump voter lose their home and go hungry in the streets

Maybe some white Christian nationalist church or some Apartheid billionaire will help them out.

[BaronChocula]

20. Those should definitely be the wages of backing a criminal

Trump voters are accessories to crimes. I have no patience for people who demand patience for witting accessories.

[MadameButterfly]

21. These guys never played chess

They can't see three moves ahead. Of course this was going to happen.

[Emile]

2. They will blame the Democrats for not stopping it.

[FSogol]

3. Im waiting for the 1st, "I didnt think he would deport my family" story.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. Heard one a week or two ago on DU: birthright citizenship issue hits home (not actual deport)

Of course the timing is such that no such deportation could have yet occurred. But it is the buyer's remorse your post alludes to.

There was a report on DU of a Hispanic tRump voter who was dismayed to find out (two weeks or more ago) that some people in his family would be subject to deportation if birthright citizenship were revoked or annulled, as tRump proposes. Dismayed to say the least.

14. Or, "We've lost our family farm because we didn't have anyone to work the fields."

Where "anyone" equals "immigrants" equals "undocumented workers."

[2naSalit]

4. I never voted for him...

But I was screwn out of my job by the first hiring freeze he imposed. I ended up retiring.

[lonely bird]

7. But I didn't think the leopards would eat my face!

Idiots.

[TomSlick]

11. There is a lot of buyer's remorse coming.

[usonian]

8. FAFO flags for you. Enjoy, share.

Might make nice little calling cards.

9. What about the Russian tourism babies?

Many of them came to Trump tower Miami. Now those children have dual Russian American citizenship.

[Jit423]

22. They will be allowed to stay. And many already have jobs in our super markets.

It is not the Mexicans or central Americans who have taken most of the community jobs, it the folks from Russia, Germany, the Balkans who are checking us out at the grocery stores and restaurants in my neck of the woods in Maryland, close to DC. Our neighborhood stores are mostly owned and run by Koreans, Ethiopians, Indians. I don't know what it is like in DC and the Capitol Hill area because I don't visit there much. I do miss the way it used to be.

23. nah

he's only after the brown and disabled people...

"Eugenics is an immoral and pseudoscientific theory that claims it is possible to perfect people and groups through genetics and the scientific laws of inheritance...... In their quest for a perfect society, eugenicists label many people as “unfit,” including ethnic and religious minorities, people with disabilities, the urban poor and LGBTQ individuals.....

[chouchou]

12. I've been surprised how non-caring republicans can be toward the unfortunate humans in this world.

I know we can't turn a disgusting mess into a Paradise but, making sure the extremely wealthy pay their proper taxes.
Proper taxes are close to the Eisenhower days....and NOT the Reagan days. (Asshole)
We've let the Assholes get so rich that they can Fuck-Us-All.

[BigDemVoter]

13. Fuck them.

They weren't concerned about anyone else, but now that THEY might be affected, they are concerned. Typical repigs.

[Deep State Witch]

15. Leopards Eating Faces

Gonna be a lot of fat leopards in 4 years.

[LogDog75]

16. Next, he'll take away veteran's hiring preference

Depending upon a person's military service, a veteran can be eligible to earn 5 - 10 points when applying for a federal job. I live in the San Diego area and I know a lot of people in the Navy who plan on working for the government when they retire. I guess they'll have to have a backup plan. One Navy friend, enlisted, retired about six months ago and immediately got a job with the Navy doing the same job he did while in the Navy. I'm betting he's glad he retired when he did.

[FakeNoose]

31. It seems if they are white males, and they vote R, they don't have to worry

Or if they have a good buddy or family member who happens to be a billionaire.

All the rest of us are screwed.

[barbtries]

17. and they're so tone deaf

they don't connect the dots at all. when they share this with you they probably think you'll be sympathetic. I hope you said, "it's what you voted for."

maybe if they get slapped back at often enough they'll wake up from whatever fucking dream they've been existing in.

[LogDog75]

19. Many retired military I know are in for a surprise

I bowl on two Navy bases in the San Diego area. A lot of them are Trumpers and excited about his election. There are a number of civilians and retired civilians in the leagues and Trump will target Social Security and Medicare for cuts, both of which they and their spouses depend upon.

[bluedigger]

18. They'll be right back on the gravy train as soon as the Purity Boards are formed.

[Seinan Sensei]

24. Barron Trump should be deported

Birthright Citizenship no longer is a thing, right?
I hear Barron’s Mother entered the US illegally.

[pfitz59]

25. Congress wants to cut SS, Medicare and other entitlements

to give Musk, Trump, Bezos etal massive, permanent 'tax cuts'.

[Initech]

26. Hey if they voted for the fucking asshole, this is what they get.

This is true "leopards ate my face" territory.

[lark]

27. magats fucked around and all but the rich will soon find out the horror they have wrought!

Too bad the rest of us will suffer alongside of them and some of us so much more so! I feel so sad for us.

[Martin68]

28. I hope every single Trump voter suffers voter's remorse. They all voted against their own self-interest because they

aren't billionaires, and billionaires are the only people who will benefit from Trump's agenda.

[NBachers]

29. I hope the infinite grief pain heartache regret & death they've visited upon the rest of us will bedevil their lives

forever.

[Moostache]

30. I hope that if they voted for Trump, they suffer greatly for it.

No fucks left to give.
They fucked around and now they are going to find out AND they're going to find out how badly being met with utter disdain and indifference REALLY feels. If these worthless cretins think it felt bad to be "talked down to" or "made fun of" in the past, and that they would vote MAGA as a "protest" or to make Libs cry?, well fuck you very much and enjoy your consequences. If you survive, in 2028 remember what happens when you act the fool...

[roamer65]

32. If they voted for Dump, fuck them.

[Baron2024]

33. If People Wake Up

If people wake up and understand that Trump is a threat to their lives and their livelihood, maybe some of them will switch sides or at least stop supporting Trump directly. We need allies wherever we can find them.
