To everyone who voted for Trump and relies on social security, or ACA healthcare, or have pre-existing conditions, or has a child with special needs, or LGBT family, or undocumented friends and family, I have no sympathy for you. You got what you voted for, next time learn your candidate’s policies before the election. We tried to warn you, we tried to tell you his policies were radical or even dangerous. We tried to tell you he wanted to take all those things away. We tried to tell you we would be the ones paying for his tariffs; but you wouldn’t listen. He is not your friend, he does not care about you, all he wants to stay our of jail and make himself and his wealthy friends richer. The rest of us were willing to pay a little more for groceries if it meant our families would have healthcare, our friend’s children with special needs could get an education, our parents could collect their hard-earned social security. Instead we will all pay a lot more for everything when tariffs are imposed and the migrants who pick our fruits and vegetables are deported.

Now your penance: call your congressmen every day for the next four years, ask them to stand-up to Trump, to block his policies that will make life harder and more expensive for everyday Americans, to block his nominations, tell them you will vote them out in the next election if they don’t – and actually vote against them when they don’t. Write letters to the White House asking them not to do all the things he promised us he’d do. Write to the Supreme Court, and all the government agencies we rely on everyday asking them to resist rolling-back all the progress we’ve made as a country over the last century. If you don’t, it won’t just be the liberals paying the price, it will be your friends, your families, and even you.

Too long and complicated for the average Trump voter. You admit they are stupid in your first paragraph, and still use words with more than three syllables…

The thing is, nothing is even going to get cheaper.

They might manage to knock gas prices down a few tens of cents in the short term as they “drill baby, drill”, but agreed everything else is going to go up, and of course, we get extra screwed in the long term.

Not sure who you are writing this for but the ratio of maga republicans to normal people on Lemmy is probabaly like less than 1:100

Go write it on Reddit where the ratio would be like 1:10

You are preaching to the choir here

Getting something off ones chest simply means externalizing, saying it out loud for the sake of doing the act. This isnt a soapbox, this is an audience/support network for shouting into the void.

Just let them say what they want to. If words could fix this, they would have.

Yeah, those who voted for Fuckface 45 and feel betrayed? They have one job, and that’s to ensure the administration they voted for doesn’t get installed.

The rest of us get to try and have a real government.

To everyone who voted for Trump: I hope all your limbs turn necrotic from the diabeetus you can’t afford insulin for and you have to chop them off yourself because you don’t have money for the operation.

My wife’s family and my brother are as good as dead to me and will be very shocked and likely unhappy when their next phone call is answered by “lose my number you rapist loving fascist fuck” as I renamed all of them to “Fascist: Answer Appropriately” so I can’t tell which shitstain thinks they have the right to impose on my time

If they grovel at my feet by admitting they were wrong and actually doing something about it they can have access to their favorite daughter and their brother, maybe. Until then: I don’t associate with rapist supporters and Nazi lovers, grandpa got his purple heart shooting you idiots ffs

You keep posting similar comments, and I know you don’t mean it like this, but the “have access to” wording keeps giving me hostage vibes. Like you have your wife locked in your basement and you won’t allow her to see her family until they grovel appropriately.

I do support people not associating with rapist Nazi lovers though.

Its not too far off from that, actually: they’re not allowed to come here or I’ll brandish my firearm and tell them to get the fuck out of my house. She can meet them in third party locations if she WANTS, but she values my opinion of her above spending time with them and had decided not to do that. So, until I’m not actively hostile towards them they’ll not be able to see or talk to their daughter without massive issues.

I use the terms I do because the fascistic dickheads are the ones who have always said shit like that and I’m done bothering to change my words to make more sense. THEY think I’m controlling her because that’s how they think, they cannot fathom that she despises them

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The “good” part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don’t intend to make this a “safe space” where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That’s why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that’s fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
