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.

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.
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!"

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.

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!
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"

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.
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.
"I didn't care until it affected me."
You're hungry but the leopards are very well fed
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
Go starve, cunt
Have the day your mother wanted for you.
Have they day you voted for.
"They were supposed to cancel other people's snap, not mine!"
WE TOLD YOU!
MAGA dipshits should remain cut off from SNAP at least until the end of the Trump regime.
Live your vote, traitor.
Could try eating shit.
Womp....
...wait for it....
Waaaaaaaaaaahmp!
this selfish asshole clearly doesn't give a fuck about other people, only herself
I hope she fucking suffers. she's getting what she voted for. be happy about it.
I know it's karma but the needless suffering still sucks.
Anyone who has a beef with provision of food is no friend of humanity
She voted for the shit sandwich smothered in orange sauce. Zero sympathy. However, 40 million hungry people might make the grocery store parking lots a dangerous place, especially for elderly people. I could see grocery bags getting snatched thanks to the MAGA fucknuts.
The FO phase of FAFO isn't pretty.

Don't feel remotely sad for her or any others who voted for this because they wanted to hurt others. I do feel bad for the others who voted against it and are still being hurt.
