I dont think these people realize how close they are to being ripped apart in the street by an angry mob...and I kind of hope they don't realize it until its too late.
For real. I talk with my friends about the tipping point, and this unfortunately ain't it by a mile. MAGAts don't make up the entirety of R voters, but not one MAGAt would give a shit if D voters started getting rounded up. It's been an incredibly thorough brainwashing effort by whoever spearheaded the effort. R used to mean small government, states rights! Now it means fuck Joe Biden, fuck your feelings, fuck work culture. And it all feels like it happened so fast. Say what you want about Bush, but the sentiment among those who voted for him wasn't this open hostility that we have today.
Because the people who need this money are leading rough, rough lives already and often don't have the time or energy to properly learn politics. They're the kind of people who can't afford to miss work or looking after their family to vote.
They're victims of their circumstances and now they're going to suffer more for it. They're not the enemies here.
