(21,473 posts)...I didn't say "screw that place. They voted for trmpf."
My purpose behind the post was to state the cold, hard fact that 60.6% of the state went for Trump, and he was also given all 6 Electoral College votes. This recent move by the Trump administration represents the consequences of each and every one of those votes.
That doesn't mean that I refuse to acknowledge people in your position, or even that I'm happy that Trump voters will soon find themselves up Shit Creek without a paddle.
Rather...and this is just me talking, and not trying to influence what anyone else may choose to say in this thread...I hope that the Trump voters in Arkansas who are on the receiving end of this understand the consequences of their vote, and will make the necessary corrections the next time they enter a voting booth.
Some of them will, some of them won't. The die-hard red hats will probably blame Obama.
But I seldom make blanket statements about things like states. The purpose of the post wasn't to make you feel abandoned. The purpose of the post was to say, in part, that the people in your state who voted for Trump abandoned you.
