The most annoying thing over the next few years is going to be listening to:
"What happened to my helthcare?" "You voted for Trump who promised to take it away. " "But I didn't think it would effect me!"
"Why are the prices of groceries so high?" "You voted for Trump who promised to deport all the illegal farm workers who picked your food for low wages." "But I didn't think it would effect me!"
"Why did my daughter/wife/girlfriend/mother die in a hospital parking lot?" "You voted for Trump who promised to make life saving healthcare for women illegal nation wide." "But I didn't think it would effect me!"
"What happened to the minimum wage?" "You voted for Trump who promised to lower it." "But I didn't think it would effect me!"
"What happened to the Palestinians?" "You voted for Trump/voted for a third party candidate which allowed Trump to rise to power then he gave Netanyahu the go ahead to wipe them out." "But I didn't think that would happen to my family!"
Suck it up. This is your bed. You shat it in. Now lie there and be quiet. We're tired of your bullshit.
Honestly, I think it'll be worth drilling the fact that it's the Republican Party, not just Trump. Otherwise, folks deep in the cult will just use the current figurehead as a scapegoat for everything wrong with the party without acknowledging that the party itself works against them.
They probably will, anyway, but it's worth a shot.
This was a well executed decades long plan by the christofascists to turn the United States into a christofascist theocratic autocracy using the Republican party at a framework and vehicle and leveraging the fear, hatred, and ignorance of the heartland to do it. The only way to come back from this is to abandon any attempts to court the right and center and to design and execute a plan to take the country back from the fascists and oligarchs, to fix the courts, to fix the elections, to fix public educating and healthcare, to redistribute wealth, and to give the country back to the people, not just the rich, white, Christian, male people.
The frustrating thing is that the red center of the country just voted itself into slavery. Trump has said that he's going to reduce the minimum wage. Project 2025 will destroy the education department, the ACA will be dismantled, social security will be eliminated, workers rights are going away. You will work for slave wages with no protections, no benefits, and no pension then you will fuck off and die when they've used you up.
Congratulations! Your fear, hated, and hunger for vengeance on those you resent was used to manipulate you into the biggest self-own in human history.
