I am food secure. I have a good job with good pay. I can ride out tariffs and shortages and the like with relative ease (I won't be happy about it, but I won't have to skip any meals).

A hell of a lot of maga voters live in poverty. They can't ride this out. They will miss bills, meals, doctors, rents, etc. I generally wish only good things for all people. But I can't feel bad for people who ignorantly voted for this because they only get their news from sources that are proven to be disreputable. All his plans for his second term were available online. All anyone had to do was look. There's no, "This isn't what we voted for," here. People will suffer and I say "Let them."

For all the impoverished people who voted against the bad man, my heart breaks.
