We keep asking, why do these people vote against their own interests, as if the answer were a riddle or a trick of ignorance.
But we know the truth.
We’ve seen it.

Some of those MAGA voters might regret their decision when they have to use tin cans and a string to call their neighbors. Will iPhones suddenly cost $3000 a pop?
Ring, ring! Who is it? It’s the consequences of your vote coming for your bank account.

Since taking a shot of alcohol is not an option for me right now, I will buy a product from outside of the United States every time this administration starts threatening a new tariff. Today, I think it will be perfume from a Canadian company.

Will this be like having a black card at a casino? You’ll get a host to cater to your needs, free hotel rooms, court side seats for home games, and valet parking? But spend below the tier level and it’s back to pearl level with no comp. Whomp whomp.
Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

In more than one discussion I’ve had with friends, family, and coworkers, it’s not uncommon for people to say those of you who voted for the orange menace are amoral. That you couldn’t possibly care or have any compassion for others. It sure feels that way.

And this is why, if you care about people, you don’t vote for the party of lunatics. You don’t vote for racists, homophobes, domestic terriosts, misogynists, predators, or oligarch wannabes if you actually care how people are treated. You just don’t.
