Terry Zink has spent 57 years building a life in Montana’s backcountry. The 57-year-old third-generation houndsman from Marion—a remote town nestled deep within the Flathead National Forest—runs a small archery target business serving outdoor recreation workers and guides who, until recently, had steady employment managing America’s public lands.

Those workers are disappearing. Their jobs are gone. And Zink, who voted for Trump in 2024, is watching his customer base—and his livelihood—vanish before his eyes.
“You won’t meet anyone more conservative than me, and I didn’t vote for this,” Zink told Politico reporters as he surveyed the damage. “You cannot fire our firefighters. You cannot fire our trail crews. You have to have selective logging, water restoration, and healthy forests” (1).
You voted for other people to lose their jobs instead but you got Uno Reversed womp womp

“You won’t meet anyone more conservative than me, and I didn’t vote for this,”
YES YOU DID! YES. YOU. DID.
…channeling Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction.
I’m quite sure this conservative was thinking it was gonna be all the “woke” people losing their jobs and I bet he was just fine with that, because, hell, they aren’t even subhumans…
You voted for it, you just weren’t paying attention. You paid attention to the racist rhetoric, and believed the obviously false promises. You “did your own research” by watching Fox “News”. You got what you voted for, you just don’t know it.
Wait till the sitouts learn they didnt really ‘save’ gaza.
Have the day you voted for, asshat.
Congratulations! You did it! You got what you voted for! Good job!
Basically this:

He is 57, he did not work 57 years, perhaps 40.
Conservatives find math hard. The universe is 6000 years old, according to some of them. Or 7000, because the big guy had to rest on the 7th.
You’re not going to believe this, but people who didn’t vote for Trump are also losing their jobs
At least people are voting during the midterms for the democrats
Even if the republicans are weakened in the midterms, the democrats will probably still find some way to lose ground to the far-right, either by not working to fully undo all the shit wrought since Trump took office, not have the clout to overcome the presidential veto, or pushing the party further to the right to appease racist right-wing voters at the expense of their original base.
I’m terrified that they will quadruple down on their appease the right bullshit. Shits going to get way nastier if we don’t start hauling motherfuckers in
The cost of DOGE, and the rest of this administration to the US and indeed world economy is astronomical.
Good. Educate yourself if your going to vote.
He should have a lot more free time to do so.
