People like this will refuse to put the blame where it belongs.

Those that actually do want to join our side will admit they were wrong and the real reason for why they voted Republican.

I always look to that one guy who joined our side after Obamacare helped him when he had cancer. He admitted he was wrong and that he wasn't very good and didn't have much concern for others. This type of person doesn't make excuses and doesn't need to be convinced on how to vote.

There are many that will just ignore this and by the next election go back to the same bs and keep insisting the reason fit his suffering is "those people".

affect even creeps like this poor schlep. He should have listened to the real news, he should have thought -- I mean really, actually thought -- about what Trump had already done to his "favorite" people.

But, no. Trump promised to beat down and smash and crush hispanics in this Country. He's delivering on that promise, that douche-baggy promise. And that delivery alone would have made this person very happy. But Trump is also kicking him in the balls.

So sad.

The department has been around for decades and he clearly learned enough to run his own business.
So, he has no beef & eliminating it doesn't "own" anybody.
All that to say: he's obviously a selfish moron.

who generally oppose racism (the true core of the MAGA cult) sexism, ableism, ageism, homo- and transphobia, religion in public schools, unfettered access to guns, and abridging the 1A—is what it’s all about. We stand in the way of their dream of a resurrected Confederacy where no one has to contribute much more than whiteness to claim a “birthright” of supremacy.

Strange how so many Trump voters thought their way of life was carved in stone and immutable, that Trump would target those 'libs'.

Then along comes something in their lives like 'higher prices to eat out' or 'it costs more to run my business' and they suddenly wake up.

Turns out that the concept that MAGAts hate libs and Trump does too so he supports MAGAts and only the libs are his target, is only partly correct.
Trump hates everyone equally, no matter how they voted.

Trump has a long history of destroying things.
No surprise he is now busy destroying America. And a large chunk of the global economy.

Have a think and try to work out who those 'libs' are, and why you hate them and why they need to be 'owned'.
And why that isn't working well for you.

At the same time, tell yourself who the real enemy of your lifestyle is - and it's not the libs, or the field workers or anyone with darker skin that you.
HINT: they aren't the ones that are denying you the things you think you are 'entitled' to.

Take your time, you will eventually get there. Maybe.
