the world is slowly healing

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (3 children)

Why? Nobody in Curtis will get this message. It'll just remain in our own little leftist pockets. Everybody left any social media sites that this could have been posted to. If any leftists are left in Curtis they'll probably post something like "harharhar you stupid MAGA racist facist idiots. FAFO". There's no healing. No bridges being built.

So no way the world is healing. It's dying, slowly dying.

If the MAGA part of the world dies, I won't weep for their loss

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

It's because they're blaming trump for it instead of listening to fox news bullshit about how it's all dems fault. They seem to be learning.

But the real trick will be to see if they keep voting R in the future...

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 hours ago

dying can be a part of healing

[–] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 4 points 12 hours ago

Looks like this town takes the separation of church and State very seriously.

[–] drcabbage@lemmy.ml 2 points 12 hours ago

Keep touching that hot stove!

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 points 13 hours ago

Those damn leopards. Cover your face! It was all a lie!

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 14 points 1 day ago

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

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day 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.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 61 points 1 day 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 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 hours ago

The very wealthy who back campaigns did this. It isn't any specific party. We need to address our wealth problem.

[–] reddifuge@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

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

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

Having a day they voted for.

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At least there is SOME heartwarming news popping up.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 13 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

This is tragic not heartwarming. Yes they brought this upon themselves but let us not celebrate the suffering of others.

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 9 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry, the vote for celebrating the suffering of others passed by 74 percentage points

[–] grindemup@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

Let's not forget about those who didn't vote for Trump, not least of which the children of this town. Their suffering is tragic.

"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.

"Something is eating my face but it's definitely not the leopard I voted for, it's all business as usual!"

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

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

[–] Scolding7300@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

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

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 172 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Have the day you voted for.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day 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.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 137 points 2 days 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)

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

[–] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago

Sucks to suck

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 41 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.

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

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 74 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

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

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

Assuming these dorks will learn anything useful.

Joe Biden has really done a number on these people.
