She actually said that she thinks he’s doing a great job at the border, because it doesn’t really have an effect on her. The SNAP benefits do, so she regrets her vote. Yikes, these people are so selfish.
I’m convinced an utter lack of empathy is the reason why there’s a constant 40% support of Trump.
How many times do you read stories about some Republican politician or right winger suddenly be not as horrid toward “the gays” because their kid came out? (Admittedly, that seems to happen a whole lot less now)
These people just can’t put themselves in the shoes of anyone who isn’t exactly like them.
They think empathy is the greatest sin, yet so many of them claim to be followers of Christ. The cognitive dissonance is just off the charts.
It’s really funny how much they embody the Pharisees despite claiming to follow Christ.
If these people had any media literacy they’d realize they’re exactly like the people Christ was against.
On the daily they had one WV resident literally saying “if we go hungry I’ll have to resort to any means necessary to eat” and I very nearly drove into a fucking pole yelling at the radio.
Like holy fucking shit, what a way to figure out that social safety nets are tools which preserve social order and not just some feel good charity. If only someone had been explaining this to you constantly for literally a fucking century.
These people are literally unable to feel empathy, they lack the brain function for it
Wow I’ve speculated on right wingers lacking empathy before, but crazy to see it in a neurological study!
These people just can’t put themselves in the shoes of anyone who isn’t exactly like them.
For me it’s not even that, I’m geeedy, i want a stable, happy society because that makes for a happy life for me. I don’t want to have to deal with homeless when I walk down the street, so I want social housing and healthcare for them. I don’t want unwanted children in society, so women haveing total control over reproduction is vital.
Any modicum of reseach can show you the dangers in society when there are large levels of wealth inequality, it literally destroys society, so i want high taxation of wealth and high death taxes and legislation to restrict incomes and capital.
Any sane person looks at cars and tranportation and the deaths from pollution, noise, urban sprawl, accidents and destroying the enviorment, so i want decent cheap electric public transport and cycling infrastructure.
I know when i travel, visas and borders are fuxking annoying and i don’t want them at all. People only up and move from their family and friends if something toxic is happening , so let them, I’d want the same thing for me
I’m the anthesies of most people it seems, I was conservative when I was young, had a STEM degree but the more i read and observe the more I understand most conservative view points are mostly toxic to a livable society.
Religion should never be involved in state affairs, including ALL education, it’s pernicious, people should be horrified to see “In God we Trust” in their justice sustem but here we are.
And now consider that empathy is a learned skill. And that it requires both shitty parents & education to remain completely undeveloped. Then think about the timeline. The Great American Project To Make The People Putty In The Hands Of The Few Again is nearing fruition.
Yep. Sometimes I feel sympathy with far right voters because leopards ate they face and they find themselves in a really tough spot. Like now. But then I hear them talk for maybe half a minute and realize my sympathy was misplaced. They need to feel pain. They need to suffer. It‘s called learned process and they‘re often not even halfway there yet when they start complaining about the things they voted for. Their selfishness is maddening.
I really don’t like the following wording, but they’re like dumb animals, you can’t reason with them. They need to touch the fire, to understand that it’s hot and hurts, to learn anything.
Edit: a word
Yes, they are horrible horrible people.
Yikes, these people are so selfish.
This line I think sums them up entirely.
Its only about the things that impact them personally. Not even their neighbors, and maybe not even friends unless they have to hear about it or something.
Its just purely selfish behavior, nothing else.
whites will literally put racialized people’s suffering over their own wellbeing
white privilege is a hell of a drug
Uhhhh, watch the video, she doesn’t really regret voting for him nor does she state she won’t in the future.
This is: the leopard should stop eating my face, I like it eating other people’s faces. I’ll keep supporting said leopard but it better stop!
She just wants brown families broken up and brown kids dead. That, she admitted, was great. She just wants socialism for just her white kid.
Just when you thought people can’t get any stupider.
I’ll believe it when they stop voting Republican
Came here to say the same thing. It sucks that it sucks for you. Stop voting for horrible people.
The headline is clickbait and false by omission, even in the text of the article.
When you actually watch the interview, she says she regrets her vote “in terms of food insecurity” but can’t help immediately pivoting to “he’s doing a great job with the border.” (Presumably, his great job at the southern border in…Portland Oregon.) When asked if it will affect her voting decisions, she hems and haws that it “depends” on the administration’s response.
So in reality: She barely regrets one part of her vote but declines to say she regrets her vote overall. I’m guessing she’ll be voting straight ticket for Trump’s third term or whatever her feed tells her to.
And that’s the best she can do for her daughter, a diabetic who is on SNAP. Lots of self-reflection going on here.
Diagnosis: Idiot
These people really need to be ripped into through interviews. “Why? The party you voted for won, they’re doing exactly what they promised. Why are you upset now? Go enjoy the day out there, celebrate that they won and you’re getting what you vote for while the rest of us suffer!”
Whenever tRump rips into reporters, especially on AF1, I want one of the to push back and call him an adjudicated rapist and small-dick pedophile and watch him explode on camera.
I had the same feeling. I would do it in a heartbeat. (the ripping part)
I don’t feel sorry for the MAGA idiots who are on SNAP, but they took us all down with them. I donated to my local food bank a couple of days ago, it’s all I can afford to do.
I did the same on the donation front. At this point our community will be the most impacted.
Have the day you voted for.
I KNOW Republicans just ELIMINATED my SNAP Benefits and BLASTED my Healthcare Premiums through the Roof BUT they’re ALSO making Brown and Trans kids SUICIDAL so I THINK I’ll Vote Trump AGAIN!
-Bible Humping Christians!
Don’t care. I have zero sympathy.
She didn’t give a shit what happened to other people and only changed her tune when it unexpectedly happened to her. Fuck you. You are the worst type of asshole and deserve what you get.
Barely changed her tune. Even as her daughter’s gonna go hungry she praised him for rounding up brown people.
I feel bad for her daughter though. Don’t know who she voted for but it doesnt matter. We are the richest country to ever exist. There’s no excuse for people going hungry.
Disgusting woman, torn between her daughter having food to eat and the stellar job she thinks Trump is doing rounding up brown people.
Yep, she was asked if she regrets it and her answer was “well because my daughter’s gonna go hungry, yes, although I am still racist”
She said no, that’s what i heard.
No she doesn’t. That’s not what happened in this interview. She didn’t like that Republicans took food and medicine away from her and her daughter. That’s it. She’s still voting Republican though.

They never think it’s them. I understand rich folks voting for Republicans. What gets me are the working class/poor. Mother fucker, they’re talking about YOU!
“I didn’t care until it affected me.”
The question has been asked: what would it take for you to forgive, if at all, a Trump voter? I said, If they immediately removed his regime from office and held him criminally responsible, I would start to think about it. But, they won’t, so I won’t ever.
I’m going to be that old man who keeps reminding everyone who supported Dumpster that they caused all the problems we have. “Don’t cry, this is what you wanted!”
Forgive? Absolutely nothing.
But if they acknowledge they did a horrible thing and want to work to make the world a better place in light of their horrible decisions, I’ll work with them. But I’ll never forgive.
They would have to grab an ar15 and get on the front lines for me to forgive them
