Now the stupid cunts are acting because it affects them personally....fucking assholes.

Next it will be "please, Mr. President Trump, sir, I voted 3x for you, can Memaw and Pawpaw have their medicaid back?!?!"

Fools.

Better than not acting at all, and there are still a lot of people for whom personal experience still hasn't changed their cultist mentality.

Take what you can get. This is fascism, and you'll have to ally with people who do not think the way you do in order to win.

Foolish votes maybe, but not fools, if they are showing solidarity with their neighbor and coworker who happens to be undocumented. This is progress, and they will be further awakened when Trump attacks Medicaid and Medicare.

They are absolute fools. It is not solidarity after the fact, solidarity would have being their voice in the election.

They will not change, next election some other ooga booga outrage will make them vote R again, then be absolutely shocked when it bites them in the ass again!
