"How many elderly screwed themselves by voting for this asshole?"
"I'm trying hard to actually give a crap anymore."
My neighbor told me about her 76 year old aunt's situation of living in Nebraska (A retired widow lucky to be in good health/has a few bucks saved/SS coming in through her husband who retired as a Col. from the Air Force. And although childless, she has a solid network of friends around and of course her niece here in California), and many of her friends depend of course on government/social services (Some receive meals on wheels, All of course receive Medicare/Social Security which was EARNED), and MANY of of them
voted for tRumputin. This aunt also told her niece (my neighbor) that these folks are increasingly living lives of delusion, because they all actually believe tRumps lies about this "mess" of a country he said he inherited from Pres. Obama and about how "bad" things ARE. They also believe that Obamacare is "bad" and needs to be done away with, and some called Pres. Obama smug and said his wife was very gauche
The aunt said it's shameful how dumb and stupid they've become recently, and that post November 8th's election, she said she made it up in her mind to slowly distance herself from them because they're so stupid. She told them how bad she thought this administration would be, but few listened. They somewhat even questioned HER sanity, which made her angry. SHE said that if any of them ask her for help or dare look for a sympathetic should to cry on, she'll have no problems throwing it back up in their faces that not only did they mock Pres. Obama and his wife, but that they voted to give the Devil aided by the GOP and russia the presidency of our country.
I'm relaying this story to you to let you know (You probably already know this) that even older people are having issues with each other and losing friendships due to this hideous, ruskie-installed puppet's sham presidency.
