As someone who grew up there, I can say that as soon as next election comes around they'll gladly vote for him again because a Democrat would want to take their guns and force them to be gay. Seriously, that's the mindset for a large portion of these people. "You might take my healthcare, job, and home, but don't you dare touch my guns or religion."

It will be hilarious if nothing major can get through Congress because Republicans can't agree on how evil they want to be.

Hillary: "I have a solution, but it'll take hard work."
Voters: "Fuck off."
Trump: "MAGIC PIXIE DUST JOBS!"
Voters: "Fuck yea-wait, now I can't afford food."

Sneak preview six months from now: "Obama's bad numbers are why your jobs aren't coming back. Huge fraud for years. Sad."

Pretty disgusting this rollercoaster is built on human misery all around for almost all of us.

Yup, pretty much. One candidate actually had plans to help them out but who needs plans when we have immigrants stealing our jobs and muslims (sikhs/brown people) coming over here with bombs

I don't think any other president has gone to this extreme to do so. This is just blatant case of using the office to take care of himself, his family and friends. It's a matter of everything else being second, third or fourth. With that said, I do know some people who still support him. Thinking that this is all part of a master plan and he is just getting started. They also are anti-abortion, pro guns, and anti-immigrants so I guess they will be happy regardless.

People voted for the party that actively rallies against government funding and social safety net programs. I'm past the point of empathy, tho. It's reckoning time 🙊

This is where we're at with Healthcare. Ryan and his crew want a haphazard Obama-care lite that gives huge tax cuts to the rich and kills poors over time. Rand and the Freedom Caucus want no government healthcare period, wanting people to die immediately.

Well at this rate winning back the Presidency in 2020 will be easy enough, rural GOP voters are all going to be dead.

It's refreshing to see Republicans openly treat poor white people the same way they openly treat minorities all these years. In the past they always covered it up by directing it at minoritieswhile always intending to fleece white people as well. Good to see them take off the sheep's clothing. Too bad the poor whites will still be blinded by their hate Republicans will continue to take advantage by dividing up the ethnic groups against each other per usual

So instead of bitching about that evil Democratic emperor who's gonna 'take er jerbs' while not actually losing them and drawing financial help, they're about to experience actual job loss AND lose financial assistance under Mr. #MAGA.

Huh.



Oh don't mind me. Just letting the things in my mind out.

In all media, only true fans who consume every book, film, game, or pog collection deserve to know what's going on.
The majority of people here in WV are lower educated people. They believe everything they see on facebook and fox news. Our biggest export for the last 30 years has been people, not coal. The smart ones leave for jobs and a social existence that actually embraces change. Living in WV I feel bad for the people, but if you voted for Trump, I don't feel that bad for you. Coal died years ago. We just can't move on for some reason.
