    I have no regrets. Being a dick will continue as long as you or anybody else cheer for unconstitutional assholes hollowing out our country for profit and lying to our faces that it’s a good thing. My health insurance expenses have increased 1700% directly from a single Republican vote to uncap the cost of insulin from $35, now it’s just over $600 for the same drug that costs a few dollars per bottle to make. But for my wife I would do anything.

      Which is why I will always cheer for them. Because people like you need to realize that your holier-than-thou attitudes need to come down a few notches.

            Celebrating other Americans’ suffering isn’t patriotism, it’s spite. I brought up real consequences. That’s not about “attitudes” or “holier-than-thou”, it’s about survival. If you’re cheering for fellow citizens to struggle because you dislike their politics, maybe ask yourself what values you’re actually defending. I’d rather focus on solutions that help all Americans than watch anyone “get what they deserve.”

              But what americans are “suffering” because Trump is president?!

              Lots of fellow citizens struggle regardless of who’s president. To blame it on one president is underplaying all of that.

              I’d rather focus on solutions that help all Americans than watch anyone “get what they deserve.”

              Then stop being a dick to people who happen to have different political ideas than you do.

                  You call that “suffering” though? That’s fucking life, bruh.

                  What about all the people that were “suffering” when Biden was president? lol

                    Whataboutism.

                    None of it was necessary. Its cruelty for the sake of cruelty. None of this administrations’ declared priorities line up with their actions. DOGE is ending successful efficiency teams and projects telling us they’re saving billions when instead they’re aligning us with our enemies, the dictators of the world that our leader so desperately idolizes. Never has America removed the rights from an existing protected class until this administration. We’re removing fluoride from the water, canceling important flu vaccine meetings, and blatantly shitting on the first amendment by blackmailing colleges with protests.

                    But it doesn’t impact you so everything is fine. “I got mine” right?
