I feel bad for those who didn't vote for him.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 13 points 14 hours ago

The world's smallest violin would play for them, but it doesn't give a fuck either.

Have the day you voted for, idiots.

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago

At least there is SOME heartwarming news popping up.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago

Having a day they voted for.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 47 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

It's not just Trump.

The GOP could stop all of this tomorrow.

That needs to be hammered into their stupid skulls until it sticks.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Been saying, we need to stop talking about Trump and point fingers at the GOP, GOP, GOP did this.

[–] reddifuge@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Groomers On Parade? Group of Pedophiles? What is the GOP really?

"They blame Trump"

No, they didn't. The medical facility didn't blame trump, the article didn't blame trump, and there's no proof that any of the citizens blame trump.

This is actually what the article says:

Curtis Medical Center to close after 30 years, citing inflation and uncertain federal funding

And then, later in the article it mentions how there's supposedly $50 billion coming from the feds to assist rural providers, and how disappointing it is that they've made this decision before the federal aid has been finalized.

This is being portrayed as a business decision to close this town's only healthcare facility. Anyone reading the article would have to believe that trump has anything to do with inflation or cutting funding, and a community that has over 85% of their people voting for trump doesn't believe that.

So x + (x+74) = 100 which means 2x = 26 -> x = 13

They voted non-Trump 13% and Trump 87%?

[–] Scolding7300@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

I wish they'd just given the % instead of this metric smh

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 20 hours ago

87 - 13 = 74, so yeah

[–] zululove@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 hours ago

Feds are orchestrating massive civil unrest possibly a civil war so expect it to get worse before it gets better

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 15 points 21 hours ago

A big effect of comming ACA premium changes, is instead of paying $10k more per year, people dropping their insurance, using less medical care, until it is something major that results in their bankruptcy. People's mass medical related bankruptcies cause hospital bankruptcies/closures, as does less "routine" medical use.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Remember when leftists took responsibility for things like this as a failure to organize the working class? Pepperidge Farms doesn’t remember either.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 10 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly, then... Suck a dick, Curtis.. 🤷

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

No, they need to feel the consequences of their actions and change their minds. This is the appropriate response.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Assuming these dorks will learn anything useful.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

This is them learning. Will it stick? Will they fall for it again? Tough to know. But this is the first step.

Sucks to suck

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 170 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Have the day you voted for.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 day ago

Somehow the people in that town need to get this message, but I fear they wont hear a word of it on any of the media they consume.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 134 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (10 children)

74-point margin

Why not just say 86% Trump? Much easier.
(Harris 13 %, others 1 %, as per Frontier County results of 1413 votes)

Man, I never get what I vote for. I am so jealous of them!

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Honestly, while I am also enjoying the schadenfreude, this seems like a prime opportunity for leftists to do some de-radicalizing. Bernie should head out there and talk to folks.

This is the second time that I've heard of this place.

The first time, it was a story about how the community was struggling to keep their young from leaving, and having a hard time attracting new people to move there.

No one wants to stay, and no one wants to move into a community crawling with awful people.

This looks so, so good on them.

Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.

Really at this point, ZFG. I feel bad for the people that didn't vote for this shit show who will suffer because of this. How many will die en route to the next closest facility. ALL their deaths will be on Trump and his supporters who will not be given a free pass or mulligan.
