it is depressing how much people in the US care about their little stack of chips over anything else.

When you don't have a solid social safety net, 30+ years of indoctrination of "individualism good, family and friend support bad", a medical system that is built for profit and generations of both subtle and obvious propaganda that the more money you have the better of a person you are, I can understand why people protect their small stack of chips.
Looking at the front page of Fox News, those people don't care. They just want to be fed lies and told losing money is good for the country.
Thank you for your service.
I don't actually give fox news traffic. I just follow this bot on mastodon.

Question is, will they remember that they said this when the elections happen four years from now? Will they remember this for next year's elections even? Trump supporters tend to have very short memories, in my experience.
Mama told you the stove was hot.
It's worse.... Mama told you the stove was hot.... You grabbed it and lost one hand.... Then you went and grabbed it again and with the other hand...
Not even toddlers are this stupid, Republicans legit have brain damage
On each side people are voting who they believe is the "lesser evil". A third party doesn't really need much popularity to start a landfall
That's a solid point. They are both shit. Proof: they alternate and things keep getting worse for US and outside of it (as result of US policies or direct wars)
My party is slightly less bad than yours is the worst argument you can put. Be honest, they both don't care about us.

Trump’s approval rating is still higher than biden’s. Singular instances of disapproval are nearly entirely irrelevant, and yield only a skewed picture.

i never thought he'd do the thing he said he'd do all throughout the campaign while vice president harris warned you about it.

Dude no shit I'm voting democrat
Bold of him to assume that he will be voting again.
In all of this mess, seeing people like your good friend suffer from the consequences of their own actions, maybe even for the first time, makes me very happy. I'm sorry for the rest of you, but the leopards can eat every single Trump voter for all I care.
Bold to take a conservative / right-wing / Republican at their word
Gavin Newsom? He does not need republican votes to win in a blue state.
Republicans: Useless, even when try try to do the right thing
The difference is that this affects his voters' (the ones with any money) place in the hierarchy. If their retirement accounts zero out, they're no different from the poor people they consider themselves above and made so many choices to separate themselves from. If they introspect a little bit, they might even say "then what have I been working so hard all this time for?"
The dems become the rational alternative. These Trump voters can hold their nose and vote for a little less brutality on the trans folks and a little more DEI lip service as long as they stabilize the market.
Meanwhile ofc the dems are likely to keep 80% of the immigrant deportation policies, tax cuts for the rich, etc.

I mean, what did anyone expect from idiot who bankrupted a casino? Fucking casino of all things which is literal money printing machine.
Good God I hate conservatives. The most selfish people on the face of the Earth. They literally care about nothing until it affects them.
As satisfying as it is to point out this persons hypocrisy and selfishness in only caring when if affects him (and it is satisfying,) I struggle with how best to incorporate those earnestly crossing the ~~isle~~ aisle (late though it may be.)
If we have any chance of unifying our country, we’re going to have to figure out how to welcome back those earnestly recognizing the errors they’ve made. Heavy emphasis on ‘earnestly.’
