Right wingers fucking around: "Yeah let's deport all the ILLEGALS, lower our egg prices, and make the government fascist! MAGA!"
Right Wingers finding out: "Boohoo my benefits are cut, Canada boos at our National Anthem, and I have to sell my left kidney to buy groceries!"
Fuck these people. Conservatives were drawn in to Trump because of his hateful rhetoric and they only changed their minds when they were personally affected.

Isolation or joining hands with fucking SCUUUUUM.
Hmmmm. This is a hard one.
It's 2025. None of these people are poor sad lonely people taken advantage of by a slick conman selling a lie about a bright future. These people know what they've signed up for at this point. Ignorance isn't an excuse anymore.
