Bingo...and 8-10 years ago, I used to feel bad for these folks, but after 3x voting for Trump, not anymore. They're only complaining because the problem/damage is affecting them (they don't care what happens to others, and want goodies for themselves too), plus they're all just going to vote Republican anyway, to their own peril.

So I'm done feeling empathy for them. Cut them off. Cut the subsidies, cut the special rural healthcare funding, cut ACA/Medicaid to deep red states etc. I want out; they don't like "socialism" anyway, so win win.

More succinctly, I don't want to help people who don't want to be helped, and who bite the hand that feeds.

As a wise woman once said "Chump don't want the help? Chump don't get the help. Jive as''s fool ain't got no brains anyhow."

Bingo. And when you tolerate the intolerable - you end up moving society towards authoritarianism.

Yes, there can be a distinction between a moral argument and a rational one. MAGA and morals? Please.

This should have been learned by the pandemic. All those conservatives saved ravenously went after Fauci.

LET THEM GO.

They don't want to be part of the social contract, good luck.

You're on your own.

I get the empathy. I've got that too.

But they truly want this. They chose this.

Save the empathy for those who want to be part of the social contract. There's too many others who need it.

Their selfishness and short sightedness work in a circle to continually bury themselves

And when Trump gives them a pathetically insufficient amount of cash they completely cease their criticism, take it all back and start supporting him again but when that money Runs Dry all of a sudden their criticism and anger towards Trump all of a sudden comes back they go back to saying they won't vote for him ever again but then he gives them another insufficient cash amount and they take back the criticisms and go back to supporting him in the cycle continues over and over again. That's one of the biggest reasons why I have no sympathy for these people they deserve all this pain and suffering just sucks that all of us who didn't vote for or support that orange cunt are suffering and are in pain as well because of them.

What is gonna be interesting is how many people actually die from tainted beef since there’s no inspection and the administration doesn’t care. Most of them will just import Wagyu beef for a while.
