      From the interviews I’ve been seeing, at least some of them voted against Trump due to concerns about bullshit like this. I expect the majority did vote for him, in which case yes, karma’s a bitch. But a) we shouldn’t be treating them as a single voting block that all vote the same way, and b) regardless of the schadenfreude we get watching the Trump supporters among them freaking out now, there are grave knock-on effects for consumers looming - including those consumers who didn’t vote for Trump.

      blaming your fellow citizens will only get a repeat every four years

      elites want us blaming each other and not them

        Agreed! Republican voters are KNOWN to Learn Their Lessons! That’s why they DIDNT vote for Trump AGAIN after Covid and January 6th and. . .

        Guy keeps sticking his keys in a power outlet and gets hurt.

        My guy, if you keep sticking your keys in the power outlet, you’re gonna hurt yourself.

        Blaming the guy’s pain on his sticking his keys in the power outlet will only get a repeat of the behavior.

        Elites want us blaming each other and not them.

          Except, he’s sticking his key in the power outlet, knowing it will hurt him, because it’ll hurt people like me worse.

          No. Fuck anyone who voted for Trump. Fuck you for thinking that I don’t deserve the same rights as they do.

        This is true. Just make sure they know whose responsible for screwing them over, and the same people screwed you over, and your kids, and everyone else in the US expect for like 2000 people
