Since the election, you have probably heard a lot about FAFO (“f--- around and find out”). It’s the idea that voting is a choice and voters must face the consequences of their choices. If you are, say, a poor person, you shouldn’t have voted for Donald Trump or any Republican, because in the end, th...
These guys need to get the fuck out of here with this rude awakening and economic anxiety bullshit. I don’t really want to hear about any soft peddling of these obvious racist/sexist/other hateful driven motivation voters. Last time The Fanta Menace won, there were all these articles about low income voters (of which I’m one, but I had the good sense not to vote for a flaming pile of garbage) voting for him because of “economic anxiety” and not that he appealed to their base desires to hurt any non straight, white, or male group they didn’t like.
This isn’t our first rodeo with this fat piece of shit. We all saw what he did before. How can you be “rudely awakened” when you vote for someone whose behavior you’re fully aware of? They saw what happened last time and his main campaign promise was, “More of that, but cranked up to 11.” Fuck that noise. They are getting exactly what they voted for, with full knowledge of the outcome. Unfortunately, the rest of us are also getting that and it’s gonna be bad.
The article talks about him playing favorites, which of course he will, but I think they give him too much credit when it comes to sparing his supporters. He didn’t have any problems breaking up families of his supporters last time when one or more of them was undocumented and got swept up in an ICE raid. He’ll do what he wants, tempered only by what his handlers want, and that means some notable percentage of his supporters are gonna see some negative effects… Which is exactly what happened last time. They were all shocked Pikachu face then, and amazingly we’re now supposed to what, feel bad about them learning nothing and being shocked Pikachu face again after they put themselves in the same situation again? The hell with that.
