I didn't mind the bigotry, racism and anti-democratic scheming but this is where i draw the line.

Yeah they draw the line right in front of them. And they only notice someone crossing it when it hits them in the face.
Their line is a circle around themselves.
Some of them include their children.
"But not Fred, he's too woke. And Jenna is a lesbianist!"
You omitted pedophile rapist.
I didn't expect...
Good news everyone!
I've developed a nearly foolproof method for preventing anyone else from sharing this fuckin sucker's experience, and will share it here - free of charge - today only!
It's simple. All you have to do is ask yourself a single question: Does X effect Trump’s Y?
Replace X with the issue or item you're concerned with.
Then replace Y with one of the following: health | self-image | bank account | stock market
If your answer is 'No,' congratulations, you now know that Trump will indeed NOT give a single fuck about your problem. Also, it's probably some sort of peasant issue anyway.
If your answer is 'Yes,' you're likely still fucked somehow! 😁
That is a magnificent and I would wager highly accurate algorithm.
"We never expected that the guy who told us to fight Covid by eating horse paste and shoving UV lights up our butts wouldn't know a damn thing about science."
Give him some credit... he also suggested ingesting bleach. Technically it would have killed COVID and guaranteed the patient never got COVID or any other sickness ever again.
"I just wanted a fifth columnist who would govern well according to my kaleidoscopic view of reality"
Jesus. That's exactly how some people operate. Every day. What the fuck is wrong with humanity.
We're naked monkeys evolved to live in small groups trying to run a system with several billion people. Humanity is a bit underspecced.
"I didnt know the guy that literally stole money from cancer kids via a fraudulent charity, an act so depraved he is no longer to run any sort of charity, would take money away from cancer kids. GOD DAMN LIBERALS!"
I just wanted him to hurt everyone else but not me.
i can excuse racism, but i draw the line at ~~animal cruelty~~ funding cuts!
This is my mother. In her 80s, racist AF, conservative, voted for Trump, has cancer, on Medicare, etc. Now she expresses her worry that Medicare funding will be cut. But she's also betting that because Musk is a "genius" he won't take benefits away from the elderly.
It's even worse/dumber than this, due to her federal unionized employment pension. Unions are apparently evil, despite her pension and paying for her Medicare B late enrollment penalties. The brain rot is really maddening and sad to see in person.
At least she voted.
Yeah, you know who I'm talking about. Where y'all at now? Fucking crickets.
No, actually, people who voted for Trump are worse than people who stayed home.
Until the Democratic Party stops excluding the Bernies of the world, elections like these are what we're going to get. No one believes Democrats will actually do what they say they're going to do, not even their own voters.
It's true. All those people who willingly didn't vote and are complaining can get fucked.
"I'm too fucking dumb to breath. And I've shit out a litter of children. This is all your problem now because no one stopped me. Thoughts and prayers."
The great thing about democracy is that it gives every voter a chance to do something stupid. - Art Spander
And here we are :)
"I wasn't expecting the guy who campaigned on a message of cutting funding to cut funding."
--Random Moron #9,765,944
Don't be fooled. Most of the people who voted this way haven't figured it out yet.
"I'm shocked that the guy who only cares about himself, is doing things that only personally benefit him"
I knew he was going to hurt poor people, trans people, immigrants, US citizens born of immigrant parents, US citizens of color, women, children, and even people in need of healthcare and research. that was all fine. it was fun, actually, i made fun of them online, and tried to rub it on their face after the election as much as possible.
... but I didn't think he would also hurt this very specific portion of them which also affects me.
fuck cancer, and fuck this guy. this guy is cancer.
I hope the eventually destruction of the federal government makes people realize how much it helps them.
Nah, they'll do the same as always: Find something or someone to blame that isn't themselves or their favorite ~~sports~~ political team, continue as usual.
They're gonna blame the dems for anything bad, and their base is gonna rally behind that.
You know what might have been a clue? The past!
- March 2017: Proposed $5.8 billion (18%) cut to NIH funding, targeting cancer research indirectly.
- February 2018: Proposed eliminating the John S. McCain Childhood Cancer Foundation.
- June 2019: Revoked the Clean Power Plan, weakening air pollution controls linked to lung cancer prevention.
- 2018: Delayed asbestos bans under the Toxic Substances Control Act, linked to cancer risks.
- 2017-2019: Repeated attempts to repeal the ACA, threatening free cancer screenings like mammograms.
- February 2020: Proposed $3 billion cut to NIH in the 2021 budget, while increasing defense spending.
- July 2019: Reversed proposed bans on flavored e-cigarettes, undermining tobacco-use prevention.
If people are surprised, it's because they aren't paying attention, or they just think Trump is BASED until the ramifications show up at their doorstep.
Isn't funding cancer research "big government"?
"Big government" means thinking the government is bigger and more expensive than it needs to be.
When all the government needs to do is keep me happy then any program which I understand benefits me is vital and any which doesn't is "big government"
It will be difficult to "out villain" this administration in most people's imagination.
I know we're all going to suffer, but Im particularly glad those who voted this way are slowly starting to realize how they or their love ones will.
Anxiety is the worst part about any major change
elon is the kind of dipshit who probably holds the belief that the commoners' cancer can be compensated with a higher birth rate. People are just a resource to him.
Nauseating to see this tiny man claim to want to go to mars when he can't even crawl out of his own ass.
No you don't get clout for regretting your clearly terrible decision.
The bad shit hasn't even started yet.
I genuinely believe that the best case scenario for America is that it all goes to shit SO FAST that even his most ardent supporters have to say "No, this is fucked. He needs to go."
At least 30% of the population has drunk the Kool-Aid and is so deep in, nothing, not anything, will turn them from their God King.
"Oh, buddy...you think that's bad, just wait till next year!
...I mean... If you're still around then."
Republicans think Trump holds conservative values because he regurgitated their speaking points. Like most politicians on any side but to an extreme level, Trump holds no values except those that he thinks will lead to more money or power for him.
Why would you expect that he wouldn't? He defrauded a KIDS cancer organization. He doesn't give a fuck about anyone that isn't him
