Well…how the hell did the rural maga folks get so stupid? The people they voted into office are passing bills that are going to smack them right in the face…the budget bill that the repubs have passed by one vote will result in the closing of hundreds of rural hospitals as the cuts to Medicaid that is keeping them open bite…and the cuts to Snap or food stamps is going to starve a lot of them…and I know I have been reveling in the fact that they did this to themselves…but with the cuts coming to Medicare it is going to hurt every one of the 70+ million retirees who depend on it to stay alive…in my personal case, I don’t how I could have paid for the 77K that my cancer surgery cost without Medicare…oh, and lets add in the job losses that are coming from the stupid tariffs that are going to hit the working poor the hardest…like those at Walmart where 20,000 jobs are going away…and in most rural communities, Walmart is the biggest employer and there just aren’t any other jobs…and now there won’t be any safety net to help these folks…the latest research shows that maga folks voted their hate and not any economic concerns…and now the hate is coming to bite them in the ass…geez…

Well…Kos over a daily Kos has a series that he does about trump voters who, by their voting for him, have ended up hurting themselves…and he started today with the story of a Mississippi county who voted 82% for the idiot and has a poverty rate that is twice that of the average across the US…and whose residents also double the national average of being on Medicaid and using food banks to be able to stay alive…okay, you know where this is going…the repubs in congress are going to end Medicaid as they have financial assistance for the food banks there…so now many of these voters are going to have to figure out how to get medical care and food…but what about inflation and the price of eggs? Yeah, I’ve used that before but the gross stupidity of these voters is just breathtaking…and they have saddled all of us with this orange lunatic just because of their hatred of everyone who isn’t white, straight, or religious…this is the payment for that hate…I really do hope they starve…cruel, I know but I don’t care…and I don’t want to hear one frickin trump voter whine about it…geez…
