You voted for it, you just weren't paying attention. You paid attention to the racist rhetoric, and believed the obviously false promises. You "did your own research" by watching Fox "News". You got what you voted for, you just don't know it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Wait till the sitouts learn they didnt really 'save' gaza.
Those workers are disappearing. Their jobs are gone. And Zink, who voted for Trump in 2024, is watching his customer base—and his livelihood—vanish before his eyes.
“You won’t meet anyone more conservative than me, and I didn’t vote for this,”
YES YOU DID! YES. YOU. DID.
...channeling Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction.
I'm quite sure this conservative was thinking it was gonna be all the "woke" people losing their jobs and I bet he was just fine with that, because, hell, they aren't even subhumans...
You voted for other people to lose their jobs instead but you got Uno Reversed womp womp
Have the day you voted for, asshat.
Congratulations! You did it! You got what you voted for! Good job!
You're not going to believe this, but people who didn't vote for Trump are also losing their jobs
At least people are voting during the midterms for the democrats
Even if the republicans are weakened in the midterms, the democrats will probably still find some way to lose ground to the far-right, either by not working to fully undo all the shit wrought since Trump took office, not have the clout to overcome the presidential veto, or pushing the party further to the right to appease racist right-wing voters at the expense of their original base.
I'm terrified that they will quadruple down on their appease the right bullshit. Shits going to get way nastier if we don't start hauling motherfuckers in
He is 57, he did not work 57 years, perhaps 40.
Conservatives find math hard. The universe is 6000 years old, according to some of them. Or 7000, because the big guy had to rest on the 7th.
Basically this:
'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.
Good. Educate yourself if your going to vote.
He should have a lot more free time to do so.
The cost of DOGE, and the rest of this administration to the US and indeed world economy is astronomical.
