Oh look another conservative who needs to be directly affected to care about something.
Empathy is a crime! /s
That's so weird because I expected the rapid onset of a dystopian hellscape so I don't know, Jennifer, what do you think went wrong?
Damn it's almost like we both observed objective reality instead of sticking our heads straight up MAGA's asshole for the entire election.
There once was a woman named Piggot
Who voted for a dumbass bigot
Then she lost her job
Along with poor Bob
And she thought she really would dig it.
Nice.
"I expected better from the person who is literally famous for being one of the worst people in America!"
Seriously, how are these 'people' so unable to see the world around them? It's pathetic
They insulate themselves from the difficult topics and nuance of the real world with Fox News and a carefully curated Facebook/X feed.
Instead of having their beliefs challenged regularly and being forced to critically think and introspect, they only reenforce their world-view and get fed a steady dose of fear, hatred and outrage until they're incapable of human empathy with people different from them.
It's awful. I've seen it with several family members and friends. Good, kind-hearted people transformed into the most hateful versions of themselves with only their most negative emotions driving their decisions.
It takes something deeply personal and challenging to force them to reevaluate. And for some that's not even enough. They'll double down instead of admitting they might be wrong, and go back to the comforts of their carefully crafted world instead.
There's another level to the delusion. The conservative voter is told that they are exceptional and special and the rules obviously won't apply to them. The rules are only for low performers and criminals.
They insulate themselves from the difficult topics and nuance of the real world with Fox News and a carefully curated Facebook/X feed.
And by "carefully curated," you mean "not curated at all, and instead uncritically accepting what the capitalist elite's Algorithm shovels into their faces by default."
Even that sometimes shows them what they don't want to see, so then they block or remove the offending content.
But he said he was going to make everything better. There was literally no way of knowing that he wouldn't.
People with the most privilege tend to think they have the least.
"not hurting the right people" was famous from the first time and they voted for him again.
What about these voters makes them unable to sympathize with others when it happens to them? I don’t work in the federal government, but I feel very sad for them when I see them getting fired and their agencies disassembled.

I've always known the average voter is a huge idiot with a tiny attention span, but articles like this really put into perspective how bad it is. How the fuck do you manage to forget the COVID pandemic? Did everyone really buy the "Chinese bioweapon" propaganda in order to avoid blaming Trump or something?
Trump was awful before and already ballooned the debt once. How do you not expect it to happen again?
Honestly, even if you thought it was a Chinese bio weapon, he did a terrible job managing it. If anything it makes him bad at managing public health AND espionage.
I expected better
Then you're a fucking idiot.
"I thought I was one of the good ones!"
She expected her boss to be fired and her coworkers to be placed in subservience under her trumpee authority. This is guaranteed what every trumpee who lost their fed job thought was gonna happen. Delusions of grandeur.
And this makes like... 10 of them now who changed their minds? Seriously, what the heck?
Trump's polls are still pretty high: https://news.gallup.com/poll/658661/republicans-men-push-trump-approval-higher-second-term.aspx Better than his first term overall and 92% among Republicans. 92%!
It's literally a cult. They need deprogramming
It's a sect. Most of they are willing to sacrifice for the greater good. Basically they can suffer for a couple of years as long as the immigrants will suffer even more.
Ooooh karma you hot beautiful lady❤️
Say hi to Jennifer Piggot!
This cunt is a raging bigot.
Trump cast her out,
fucked around and found out;
her eyes gush tears like a spigot.
I'm glad she got what she voted for.
We expected you knew better.
that's funny. as far as the government is concerned if you aren't in a specialized position and are just doing a job you're just an irrelevant face in the crowd who doesn't matter. your positions were going to be the first to be slashed outright. and he told y'all that. and you voted for him anyway.
my concepts of sympathy for you.
I don't understand. Why isn't she happy about this?
Now that’s a face only a mother leopard could eat.
Yummy yummy, I need faces in my tummy!
Hi Face, let me introduce you to some leopards.
Piggot the Bigot
Poor lil Piggott the Bigot Lover
I can't even. I'm just glad the leopard is eating her face. Enjoy your suffering ya dumbass.
Better late than never.
