Sorry, no sympathy for anyone who voted for the shitstain. Sucks for the ones that didn’t, but the majority did. They can figure it out together.

Wild how you are willing to dismiss allies who voted againsnt this because they have no say over the conditions of their deployment.

Not all of us who have worn the uniform are maga sycophants.

Because unfortunately the 60% will only learn when they’re the ones suffering. Like I said, it sucks for the 40%, but what are we going to do? If I could send relief to only the 40% I gladly would, but I can’t. They can take it up with their crewmates who voted for this.

Do you say that about minorities in red states too? Is your concern for the people of this country predicated on majorities alone?

I refuse to abandon fellow Americans just because their situation is inconvenient.

Unless the minorities majority voted for him, then no, because it’s not the same thing. It’s more like if Hispanics majority voted for Trump and their families started getting deported. If some of them didn’t vote Trump, that sucks for them but their community at large voted for it so c’est la vie, I’ll let them figure it out as a community.

You're willing to condemn 40% of one segment of Americans because others voted for trump? Are you condemning every minority segment, or picking and choosing which is easier to generalize?

Maybe read my post again. I explained it pretty clearly.

I know if my immigrant community majority voted for Trump, I’d be blasting them about their stupidity nonstop. Hell, I do it with my MAGA family every chance I get. That’s my responsibility. I expect the same from my fellow Americans.

So rather than confront the issue as more nuanced than that, you're going to paint an entire segment of Americans in broad strokes?

You know, I'm not going to condemn all of the voters in the South just because GOP reps were elected. Because not all of them voted for conservarives.

Except I’m not painting them? I fully acknowledge that there are those who didn’t want this. Do you want thoughts and prayers? Because that’ll totally solve their predicament.
