I've seen 5 guys praying together with a single woman. Well it looked like she was praying for a few minutes.
Mr. President, this is NOT what I voted for.
"Karma is an ancient Indian concept that refers to an action, work, or deed, and its effect or consequences.... [It's] often descriptively called the principle of karma, wherein individuals' intent and actions (cause) influence their future "
In the Bible it sez something like "As you vote, so shall you reap!"
I feel like some of the people here should consider why we all know she would vote the same way if an election was held immediately after making this post.
They are getting something that they desire more than lower grocery costs or anything sane things any sane person would value.
They are getting to hurt marginalized people with their votes.
This is their single voter issue, and its the reason why no matter how much they've shot themselves in the foot, they'll buy that 500 dollar advil their insurance denied coverage for and load up another shell.
They don't evaluate politicians based on if they're happy. They evaluate politicians based on if who they hate feel sad.

And don't be suprised if a lot of packages contain less than last year
A con man conned you and bankrupted the country that’s exactly what you voted for 3 times
"this is NOT what I thought I voted for when I knowingly voted to be taxed on all foreign food and to lock up the people picking domestic food" ...Well, then what did you think you were voting for?
Waahhh... Cry harder magat.
I'm not sure how legit that account is. I'm not on Twitter, but I've definitely seen that handle at the top of a few other "magat gets their comeuppance" reposts.
We are all crying, brother in Christ
Oops, you said bad things about Dear Leader. Elmo will be suspending you soon for lying about patriotism, and the DOJ is preparing terrorism charges.
I'd be curious to find out what all of these "this is not what I voted for" people thought they were actually voting for and why they thought that
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it wasn't just about racism. Sure there are Republicans that are racist but there's still a good percentage of Liberals that are racist too. I think the facts of the matter do indeed matter, and unfortunately that comes with a plethora of misinformation and campaigns designed to target underprivileged voters. Low literacy rates will also exacerbate the divide. I'm so tired of this tirade that because "XYZ" people can't be treated with human decency. I still believe Republicans deserve a good life, as well as immigrants, poor people, and Democrats. Thats literally the point of leftism is to practise distribution of goods on a need basis instead of on merit.
They were voting for racism
Getting rid of brown people
Same reason brexit won too right?
They thought abusing brown people would magically fix all the things they told were bad like universal healthcare, feeding children, and safety regulations.
They actually thought things would be cheaper with tariffs because Trump said so. They are hateful morons.
They are not even thinking that deep. They just think handing assholes with power even more power is how to create more prosperity.
It wasn't supposed to hurt them, just other people.
America. And America.
They voted for things getting cheaper. And not believing that politicians can just make shit up and getting away with it
Of course it is. Also, you knew better, but you did it anyway.
She didn't knew better because she is dumb though.
I bet someone she knows explained it to her, but rather than let herself be convinced, she doubled down.
Absolutely. She 100% heard the explanation and ignored it because "that's just lies against my big beautiful president," and went on her way. I literally just went through it with my Trump voting uncle. I went through what he did that has directly hurt him. The response? I watch too much news.
Biggest fight I ever "started" with them was... Asking what specifically about Trump 1's tax policy benefit them. I mean I know that I asked it because I knew that they didn't make nearly enough to actually see a single cent of a tax cut from that round in 2017. But apparently his wife really didn't appreciate my asking about it because all I got in response was "Doesn't matter, still voting for him" after she specifically brought up taxes as the reason again mind you. I just asked her what specific benefit they got from his tax cuts. But I heard from my Mom that apparently I made that aunt really mad.
So mad in fact I have literally never seen her since actually come to think of it. They divorced not long after that, she moved to PA and is a fucking gay rights conservative which is fucking wild.
Your uncle?
This is what you call Oppositional Defiance Disorder, plus also being in a death cult.
Even the best-behaved children can be difficult and challenging at times. But oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) includes a frequent and ongoing pattern of anger, irritability, arguing and defiance toward parents and other authority figures. ODD also includes being spiteful and seeking revenge, a behavior called vindictiveness.
These emotional and behavioral issues cause serious problems with family life, social activities, school and work. But as a parent, you don't have to try to manage a child with ODD alone. Your health care provider, a mental health professional and a child development expert can help.
These are adults with an adult version of a pathological vindictiveness that is generally seen in 'problem children'.
They literally are whiny, pissy, adult toddlers.

ok, cool, now stfu and go back to foxnews and church; u must be exhausted after your heroic tweeting.
$300 for one meal? How many people is she feeding??
Kroger
Oh, so like 5.
Aldi forever. No, it is not the same company as Trader Joe’s if you’re wanting to talk about union busting. I say this because it happens every time.
You know that it's common for people to feed 10 to 20 people on Thanksgiving, right? Plus there were probably leftovers and I highly doubt there was no alcohol in that purchase, which adds up quickly.
I think serving 20 easily comes to like 700 bucks. We just did it, 20 people over 6 families/ couples and we each only brought 1-3 dishes, but with all the ingredients for sides and desserts, and then drinks and juice and tablecloths and blah blah blah I think each family easily spent 70 and a few of us spent 200. And we're frugal by nature, definitely Aldi shoppers, used real dishes instead of paper. There were plenty of leftovers, so you could argue it's two meals, I guess. I guess it depends on your region, too.
Every Thanksgiving of my childhood involved at least 1 gathering with 20+ family members, no one person in my family ever spent the inflation adjusted equivalent of that on Thanksgiving because it just wasn’t a financial option. Every household brought 1 or 2 dishes so that the host wasn’t responsible for paying to feed everyone, because when you have a large extended family that’s nuts.
Dude, we got an Aldi in my town, and I love it. Sure some of the stuff is different, and even has a tad different flavor....but I almost always feel my heart aching with relief when I see how much we get from Aldi with such low prices. My food stamps go so much further there. Thst place is a blessing to me and my family.
Is this one of those Russian/Chinese/Nigerian astroturfing accounts?
Those would have reported a 30% decrease in cost for a larger meal, and had their entire bot army retweet it to viral levels. They won't let reality get in the way of the gaslighting their overlords demand.

If she had even half a brain cell, she would know this is exactly what she voted for.

No - actually that's exactly what you voted for - you're just too stupid and/or lazy and/or blinded by hate to realize that, or too dishonest to admit it.
This is what you voted for. You were just not listening.
Bitch you voted for tariffs! Every expert said that would raise prices, but you refused to listen to experts! This is what you fucking get! Why did you have to drag us down with you!?
