get to know the issues that concern them, I will dance all over they heads.
I have lived with and am related to many of these people, and at the bottom of it all for many, they are just mad. They want to get 'theirs' back from everybody who took it from them. They think the only reason they aren't rolling in the good life is that immigrants, POC and whoever else got it.
What 'It' consists of is some amorphous basket of things they think they are entitled to.
Before the election, I talked to them about losing the ACA, SS, Medicare, clean water, and gawd knows whar else. They would not listen. They did not believe me.
I quoted the Bible them and they shrugged. They turned their backs on every religious and American value they had so loudly thrown about for years.
I.HAVE.HAD.IT.
I will not coddle them or give them one more inch. Believe me I tried.
I AM OUT OF 'BE SWEET.'
If I knew what would work to let them see a glimmer of what is happening, I might still try. I don't think watching a nuclear explosion in the distance would matter to them.
So, for those of you who still want to try. Have at it. I have been around this for YEARS.
They can go to hell.
Edit to add: I kept hearing that I didn't know how mad Trumpkins were.
Well, I am pissed beyond all measure. They ain't seen mad yet. Touch SS or Medicare.
