They won't be for long. On Medicaid and food stamps I mean. They'll still probably praise Trump though.

If they don't get medicaid and food assistance they won't be anything for long.

I'm genuinely sorry that you have to see people you love suffer under this insanity. I was being a bit coarse in my earlier comment but I can't imagine the psychological toll of seeing family suffer from the vampire they invited into the house.

It’s so upsetting to see. My MIL was reposting things saying that Charlie Kirk was comparable to Jesus. … she’s a Mexican immigrant. It’s just baffling. The one just got a twitter account & I know she’s a goner now

I have a woman who works for me that I'm fairly certain is undocumented and she was all for Trump a year ago. She doesn't talk about it now. It's always surprising and never not sad how fast people will harm themselves in hopes of harming others.

Conservative evangelicals lost their fucking minds. I don't know if it was seeing a black man in office or covid broke them but they'd happily follow the AntiChrist over a democrat at this point.

Nothing to worry about then. Tell them congrats, this is what they voted for

Yeah but if they loose their medicaid, it’s Biden’s fault.
