Well damn...time to order another t-shirt.
So, he owns a thousand billboards. And he had learned how evil republicans are. Maybe he could put those billboards to good use and inform the population about the drawbacks of voting for GOP?
Oh, but that would mean he would have no paying customers, and that will affect the bottom line!
i'm sure there's plenty willing to fund that message.
Your "in other words" hits hard.
I have family in a nearby rural county where the local hospital is at high risk of closing once the medicaid changes (aka cuts) take affect next year. I mentioned it to my family members, who are Trump voters, and they weren't even aware. Despite that, they did have an opinion on the matter, of course! At one point someone said something along the lines of "we can't afford to go to the hospital if something happens anyway". Which that's just a tangled mess of cognitive dissonance considering they've all been in that hospital, some multiple times, over the past 5-ish years AND they're the ones who use the emergency room as free healthcare because they know the emergency room can't turn you away if you can't pay.
The thing is, the next closest hospital takes around 30 minutes longer to drive to and these are unhealthy older people. If their local hospital closes, their next emergency may be their final emergency as a result. And I know they'll care then.
trump voters are often low information voters
More leopard food!
The recent ease of substance acquisition has left the leopards obese, docile and unproductive.
and they have outsource the face eating to the hungry lions, jackals, hyenas of africa, the hippos may chance at a face meal.
75 and 45. - totally not a mail order bride at all
I don’t want to tell adults how to live their lives but adding immigration/citizenship to this dynamic certainly makes it seem more gross.

It's not our fault that they're on the bottom rungs when it comes to intelligence, but god damn do they make it our problem.
So much this.
The corollary is this, though - even after something affects them, they still leave the door open to reverting back to their awfulness if they perceive someone from an out-group is benefiting.
He clearly has not accepted that in-group/out-group dynamics always leave potential for you to become part of the out-group, or to have only assumed you'd be in the in-group in the first place. Just thinks Trump messed up by taking HIS partner instead of someone else's.
"go after criminals" he continues to say, failing to realize that especially in the most heavily incarcerated country on the planet, criminals are actually also laregly moms and pops and kids with families that are torn apart by agents of state violence over incredibly minor or intentionally targeting laws.
My experience with so many people is that even when solidly proven to have held a belief they no longer find suits them, they do not look for a systematic fault in their mental processing models or a larger misunderstanding in their base assumptions of reality to find how it was they were led into false belief. They simply assume it was either a fluke, or that reality does indeed conform to their ideas and just made a mistake this time.
Augh no you're not supposed to tread on me! Tread on them!

"Go after the criminals. We're all for that. But leave the mom and pops and the kids alone. Man, he's destroying families," Gannon added.
The true threat came from the childless.
You joke but that’s a conservative dog whistle for leftists and childless women who they absolutely do believe are evil
Eh. Childless white women are evil feminist Jezebels. But if you're a minority woman with children, they are anchor babies and you're a welfare mom.
"I know I dun voted for him to round up all the imgrants an such, but I weren't meanin' mine! I done buyed her an I own her! It ain't rite fer him to go an takes muh proprty! I voted for him to make brown folk sad, not to make us whites sad!"
This practically reads in an southern accent. Fuck. Shit. Stack.
Have the day you voted for!
Let me fix that for you asshole. ~~They~~You are destroying families.
lol get fucked
Yeah Fuck them tbh this is what they wanted.
Thoughts and prayers
Well, the going rate for a Trump Pardon is $1 million, so if he can GoFundMe that, she's laughing.
isnt it 2-5mil, except if you have blackmail on trump.
It's a distinct possibility. But Trump's pure as the driven snow. Surely nobody would have anything to blackmail him with.
So white human trafficker is upset his purchase for deported.
Fuck this douche.
conservative/white cant get a homegrown gf, due to them know thier BS, and chose a foreign woman(who likely is ignorant to politics)
They have quotas to keep mate
As Holman said "He's welcome to go with her."
Should force that guy say "We're destroying families." Make him take responsibility. And if he wants to switch sides because this helped him develop humanity, then fine. Otherwise, burn in your hell and die enjoy what you voted for, fascist pig.
