In other words, “I was indifferent-to-enthusiastic about hurting other people and families until it affected me personally”
First they came for my self awareness,
But jokes on them - I never had any!
Stop, that’s my wife!
It’s not our fault that they’re on the bottom rungs when it comes to intelligence, but god damn do they make it our problem.
So much this.
The corollary is this, though - even after something affects them, they still leave the door open to reverting back to their awfulness if they perceive someone from an out-group is benefiting.
They have quotas to keep mate
i bet he’s still going to vote republican again anyway.
Let me fix that for you asshole.
TheyYou are destroying families.
Well damn…time to order another t-shirt.
So, he owns a thousand billboards. And he had learned how evil republicans are. Maybe he could put those billboards to good use and inform the population about the drawbacks of voting for GOP?
Oh, but that would mean he would have no paying customers, and that will affect the bottom line!
i’m sure there’s plenty willing to fund that message.
Your “in other words” hits hard.
I have family in a nearby rural county where the local hospital is at high risk of closing once the medicaid changes (aka cuts) take affect next year. I mentioned it to my family members, who are Trump voters, and they weren’t even aware. Despite that, they did have an opinion on the matter, of course! At one point someone said something along the lines of “we can’t afford to go to the hospital if something happens anyway”. Which that’s just a tangled mess of cognitive dissonance considering they’ve all been in that hospital, some multiple times, over the past 5-ish years AND they’re the ones who use the emergency room as free healthcare because they know the emergency room can’t turn you away if you can’t pay.
The thing is, the next closest hospital takes around 30 minutes longer to drive to and these are unhealthy older people. If their local hospital closes, their next emergency may be their final emergency as a result. And I know they’ll care then.
No they will not care then. It will be someone else’s fault.
Indeed. There were many stories where people were literally dying of Covid and right up until they died, they were claiming it was fake, etc…guess who they voted for?
Yep, some taking all the tubes off and stumbling out of the hospital to die outside. Rather than take treatment. That is some baked in idiocy.
Biden!
Well they won’t care by the end anyways.
trump voters are often low information voters
“I know I dun voted for him to round up all the imgrants an such, but I weren’t meanin’ mine! I done buyed her an I own her! It ain’t rite fer him to go an takes muh proprty! I voted for him to make brown folk sad, not to make us whites sad!”
This practically reads in an southern accent. Fuck. Shit. Stack.
More leopard food!
The recent ease of acquiring provisions has left the leopards obese, docile and unproductive.
and they have outsource the face eating to the hungry lions, jackals, hyenas of africa, the hippos may chance at a face meal.
He clearly has not accepted that in-group/out-group dynamics always leave potential for you to become part of the out-group, or to have only assumed you’d be in the in-group in the first place. Just thinks Trump messed up by taking HIS partner instead of someone else’s.
“go after criminals” he continues to say, failing to realize that especially in the most heavily incarcerated country on the planet, criminals are actually also largely moms and pops and kids with families that are torn apart by agents of state violence over incredibly minor or intentionally targeted laws.
My experience with so many people is that even when solidly proven to have held a belief they no longer find suits them, they do not look for a systematic fault in their mental processing models or a larger misunderstanding in their base assumptions of reality to find how it was they were led into false belief. They simply assume it was either a fluke, or that reality does indeed conform to their ideas and just made a mistake this time.
Well, the going rate for a Trump Pardon is $1 million, so if he can GoFundMe that, she’s laughing.
isnt it 2-5mil, except if you have blackmail on trump.
It’s a distinct possibility. But Trump’s pure as the driven snow. Surely nobody would have anything to blackmail him with.
75 and 45. - totally not a mail order bride at all
I don’t want to tell adults how to live their lives but adding immigration/citizenship to this dynamic certainly makes it seem more gross.
Who cares?
Surely once someone is 40 they can choose to do whatever the fuck they want provided it’s not harming anyone.
Mail order brides are often abused in a myriad of ways, I don’t wish to describe, both before and after they get to their destination.
That’s certainly true, but my point is that the risks are dramatically diminished when the younger spouse is over 40.
There’s every likelihood that being referred to, and categorised as, a “mail order bride” is more harmful to her prospects than her relationship is.
