Bos has two daughters, with a third due in January. At the grocery store, five items cost as much as a full cart once did. And on Wednesday, Bos and nearly 1,400 other people were laid off from their jobs at what had been the Navistar truck factory in southwestern Ohio.

Asked how many times he had voted for Trump, Bos held up three tattooed fingers. But he said he’s done with the president.

I see a lot of hatred towards these people, it makes sense given what community we are in.

Personally, I don’t want them to suffer, but I do find humor in it, just as my coping mechanism.

I would be salty and get them to admit they were wrong, taking satisfaction in a big I told you so is much better than wanting more suffering even if they deserve it.

    The point is they weren't tricked. The constantly claimed they were tricked but they weren't, trump told them who he was and what he would do if elected, and they voted for him anyway, and then he did exactly what he said he was going to do, and now they're upset.

    The whole project 2025 was a matter of public record. Granted these people can't read but still, I'm sure they could have found an audiobook version or something.

    "he's not hurting the right people", meaning brown and any non-white "immigrants". Fuck all magats. They literally fucked this country over, I'll never forgive them. Have ended friendships over it. It's not a political stance, it's a moral stance.

    You voted for a man you wouldn't leave your daughter or wife alone with for some stupid fucking reason.

    You voted to end your wife or daughters rights.

    I could go on, but I'm tired. Trump sucks, his followers suck more since I have to see them. Eat shit and die, all magats.

    Oh they do, and that’s why I wouldn’t see them suffering as injustice, but I don’t wish it to happen.

    The way I see it, if I’m wishing stuff, I rather them have an existential crisis about it and come to the conclusion that they’ve been wrong all their life and beg for forgiveness.
