Grande, 32, shared an Instagram post by podcast host and makeup artist Matt Bernstein, who asked Trump voters a pointed series of questions.

“It’s been 250 days. Now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all — has your life gotten better?” Bernstein asked.

“Have your groceries gotten cheaper? Has your health insurance premium gone down?” he continued. “Has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would, or are you still waiting?”

Wholesome greentext. OP is based.

Fragile masculinity

Conservatism is, as always, a complete failure of empathy, a lack of ability to recognise that if you don't care about other people and you choose to put people who also don't care about other people in charge, the people in charge simply and absolutely don't care about you or your friends or your family.

Conservatives don't understand that "them" and "us" are actually all just us.

No industry is perfect

No....

— nor is any health care model

True, true, but this is like talking about Jeffrey Epstein and saying "we all like to have sex sometimes"

— and insurance companies make terrible calls all the time in the interest of cost savings. But the idea that those companies represent a unique evil in American life is divorced from the experience of most of their customers.

Nope. Very very incorrect. American healthcare ranks near the top of the most expensive and most obstructive in the world.

Wouldn't it be great if Trump had to follow the same laws as normal people. He's a complete traitor to the country.

Republicans think misgendering people is all fun and games until it happens to them.

Republicans think denying women healthcare if they miscarry it's a good plan until it happens to their loved ones.

Republicans think that having an abortion is a decision full of hate and evil until their daughter wants one.

Republicans think that having active shooters in schools is a mildly unfortunate consequence of important gun freedoms until it happens in their children's schools.

But also republicans are surprised and hurt that their good republican friends aren't supportive when they are the victim of republican behaviour and politics.

"It's not a problem unless it's happened to me" is why people are right wing. It's being self absorbed turned into a political movement for the advancement of shareholder profits.

Yup. Programmes that have experimented with giving homeless people hundreds in no-rules cash find that within a couple of months most of them have secured accommodation and reconnected with family and friends. After a while the majority are in paid employment.

Who would have guessed that the most of the problems of extreme poverty could be solved with money?!

It's so dystopian that teachers lose their jobs for encouraging children to read and that "free speech" advocates in state government are literally censoring books, the very thing that the first amendment is designed to stop governments doing.

I take that as a compelling recommendation for Signal.

In what sense has he agreed something if no one else involved knows about it? I think the right verb here is 'suggests'.

I mean, I'd heard that this is how the labour market is supposed to work in theory, but I didn't realise that some CEOs were actually doing it. Corporate America does NOT want you to think about this.
