His MAGA supporters are starting to wake up to the nightmare they elected. Sadly, they are getting what they paid for. Time to vote him out!

Precisely what they voted for. Tragic. But yes, perhaps now they will wake up to the reality that the guy who promised to help them is a conning, lying, manipulative, deceptive scumbag.

Hope so, but since they haven’t figured it out anytime in the last TEN years, I’m not betting on it. ☹️

Very good framing.

The authoritarian con: the tough measures are needed to stop government waste from going to the undeserving "other".

They must be very confident in their abilities to fully and irretrievably reconstruct (effectively destroy) government services to screw their own voters in such a blatant and callous manner.

Fortunately for the evil cabal of Project 2025 implementers, Fox "news" continues to provide the alternative narrative - although with the growing awareness of the truth, Fox is aiming at distracting viewers with stuff like Biden's cognitive decline, etc.

Yep. And CNN is helping Fox do the same.

This really is awful. I am sorry for everyone going through this. However, they brought it on themselves. President Biden or President Harris would have sent FEMA down there immediately. This man sounds bewildered, but not angry. He does not get it yet. trump will never send help. MAGA Government will never help the non-billionaire American people.

Absolutely. Biden would have instantly sent help — without them needing to request it.

Trump is now aiming to heavily defund FEMA. We have hurricane season nearly here and then what. Louisiana, Florida the entire Gulf coast swimming?? Then there are earthquakes, tornados and all sorts of things that happen in a country this large.

Hard to believe that after his first term in office, his nutty claim that Biden stole votes an his nutty promises for a second term they swallowed the bait again. Now not only do they suffer but the rest of us go with them. No bad feelings against them but one wonders about the learning curve.

That’s the worst part. Good people in those states pay the price for their MAGA neighbors’ foolish decision to reelect him.
