Young man had promising career as an electrician only to vote for Trump due to his hatred of immigrants

and ended up losing his job because Trump reversed policies Biden had in place that allowed him to have a job.

I found this video very interesting in the sense because it proves what I have said a bunch of times which is the Economy was never the number 1 issue with these MAGA idiots and this young guy really proves it.

really gets to me. This guy got to have a great job at a very young age straight out of highschool and had a daughter. He was pretty much living the American Dream but for some reason having it all at a young age wasn't good enough for him and his hatred consumed him. I can't relate to these people in the sense that in my mind if you have a stable job, and family then what is there to be angry about.

They should have listened to the Republican party's' and Trump's position on clean air energy sources. Trump and the Rubes have always been anti clean air projects.

I'm indifferent to him being out of work
I wished they had asked him what he would say to people who don't care he is out of work because he voted the way he did, for the reasons he gave.
I'm certain he'd have cried us all a river about how he's a person with a family, and how could we be so cruel

about him having a family to support but if we asked him if he cared about the people who will die from losing their medicaid he probably would say that's not his problem.

At this point, I truly believe that everyone who voted for him voted for him solely because of his racism.

electric platforms just like the Solar in Maine.

You and your family will be immigrants, there. But, you know WORK to feed your family.

Joe Lunchbucket is having lunch at home so the rich can have a tax cut, and bigger yachts.





The oligarch blues

I ran into some poison oak
I really thought that I would croak
But I don’t need to scratch that itch
The money’s needed by the rich.

Without my heart pills, I’m so slow
I’ve lost my get up and my go
But I can manage comatose
If it richens Jeff Bezos.

The doc prescribed me boner pills
That gave my partner awesome thrills
But no one needs a splendid "truck"
I’d rather lower tax on Zuck,

My business just went up in smoke.
But FEMA tells me that they’re broke
Now I work from dawn to dusk
So we can give a break to Musk

Immigrants didn’t take his job, trump did.

He’s unemployed and billionaires are shopping for larger yachts.

I think the Moran should get a brain.

people who think the border is an "emergency" are responding to that.
They lied incessantly about the "Open Border"
They orchestrated propaganda to reinforce the "emergency"

on a fake news channel that does nothing but compulsively lie, then this is what you get.

You voted for someone who promised to stick it to all of "them", but now you are finding out that you are one of "them" too, as far as Trump is concerned.

Sucker!!

What I have now is sacrosanct and won't be affected by any of Trump's new policies.

Trump hates the same people as I do, so he will target them. I can only benefit.

NEWS flash: Trump hates everyone, you are fair game no matter how you voted.

Need I say - if people were and are still taken in by Trump, it doesn't speak highly of their intelligence or insight.

I hear there are lots of jobs picking vegetables. If all the 35 million medicaid fraud folks have not already took all the good field jobs.

If you have no alternative and you can't find a job or you are hungry, don't ask for any help from the government you dead beat. You voted for this. Deal with it yourself.

Again, Fuck The Fuck Off.

learn their lesson. I remember thinking after '08 people learned their lesson after George W Bush almost put us through another great depression. I actually believed at that time we would go on a run like we had during the 1930's and 40's where there was no republican president for 20 years due to the generational trauma inflicted from the pain of the Great Depression. What this country has proven to me with electing Trump twice is they love trauma and pain and still believe ultimately their hatred will prevail of having a society that regresses back to a Jim Crow type of society.

He mentioned Palestine and immigration as the reasons why he voted for Trump. Tell me that he could have pointed to Gaza on a map a couple of years ago. Tell me that he was protesting in any way, even signing online petitions for Yemen.
As for immigration, how many foreign workers does he see in Maine?
This kid was duped by influencers in the reich-wing manosphere. I hope that the Democratic party is working on effective counter measures.
