56. Sad, foolish woman. She didn't like Trump but voted for him
Thu Feb 27, 2025, 10:03 AM
Feb 2025

*only* because he promised free IVF. She can't have the child she wants without IVF, which she can't afford, so even though she had once been sexually assaulted herself, she voted for a rapist. She relied on the promise of a con man who never keeps his promises, and that was no secret. But more than anything she wanted a baby, so she voted against everything else that she would need to support that "free" baby. Now she has no baby and no job, no health insurance, even less chance of getting IVF, and god knows what else will befall her - along with the rest of us.

Here, kitty kitty. Pss pss pss.
