I'm betting that they didn't vote for Biden.

And if Trump were to run again, ~80% would still vote for him even knowing what we know now.

Perhaps when roadsides are lined with sick and dying people,10% of MAGAs will stop voting for Republicans. Come to think of it that number might be a bit high.

Remember, they have been told that the Democratic Party is nothing but a group of treasonous terrorists...

Because we want equality, balance and (MOST importantly) restrictions on the rampant capitalism that has created this bias in the first place.

So, we should all die so that they can feel better... until they realize that they killed off the people who usually fix the mess that these animals create. With no one fixing anything, they will just wait till the country cannot sustain anyone and then they will move somewhere else and start the process all over again.

Looks like it is time for some more popcorn.... assuming I can even afford it.

But, a lot of folks seem to think it’s “socialized” healthcare. Guess they don’t understand and their local journalistic sources, if they exist, didn’t make a point that in most rural areas healthcare is one of the biggest employers. So they get a multiple whammy of lack of healthcare access, loss of jobs and a declining tax base. Winning

Probably 90% of the idiots around here voted for Trump.

The other 80.8%, not so much. And I hate that I feel that way, but it is what it is.

and then somehow convince them to connect the dots as to why they are suffering.

Yes I feel awful feeling this way. But a lot of people will have to suffer--and badly--for the country to turn against Trump sufficiently that even our military won't fight for him. First I pray I and my loved ones will not be among them. Then I pray that it will be Trump voters who suffer, since they created this--even though most of them didn't understand what they were doing.

Of course the real villians--the oligarchs and the RW politicians will do just fine. Until and unless it all comes crashing down. And when it does, I want to see these people suffer and pay. And I don't feel awful about feeling this way.
