    My in-laws voted for him because - no joke - they didn’t want Kamala to give money to “poor people.” My in-laws are on social security and Medicare. They ARE the poor people. If they think we will be paying for their shit after benefits are cut, I’ve got news for them. FAFO.

      “Those other people didn’t earn it…like us. They are lazy welfare mommas. They need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, like we did.”

      - your in-laws probably

        I’ve straight up heard someone say that about her disability. She claimed she earned it by going through the stuff that traumatized her to unemployability. It’s wild

        I was going to ask if the in-laws just use “poor people” as coded language for non-whites.

          of course… trump is hella racist and so is america and that’s why he won….
          it’s just about impossible for someone to support him without being racist. that’s why when you pin a trump supporter down on “why trump though?” it’s always some bullshit reason, and if you break it down or disprove it, they eventually regress to “i don’t care”.
          all their hypocritical outrage over supposed moral violations of the left? they don’t actually care about that… they just want to yell something at the anti-racist people and they can’t get away with overt racism just yet….
