Watson, a proud, salty woman who was uninsurable a few years ago, isn’t ready to renounce Trump.
If one could only turn human stupidity into electricity, then this woman could light up an entire street.
Good riddance.
This article is from 2017.
Correct, and Trump did try to kill the ACA in 2017, partially succeeded in having parts gutted out by the SCOTUS, and is likely to succeed in fully killing it this go-round.
The only reason it didn’t get killed last time is because John McCain voted against killing it. I don’t see anyone republicans stand up for the ACA now but I guess we’ll see
Still relevant. Current plans involve stuff like removing pretty much all social security, defunding research, potentially even banning vaccines (!)
Good. Ban vaccines.
Let us be rid of all these fucking dumbassess. Let them go downwind a mile and infect each other. Let their kids get smallpox and whooping cough. Then tell them the cure is the drink drain cleaner. There’s nothing they’re not too stupid to believe.
Uhh, that’d kill us all too.
Hell, even making vaccines optional would be a huge negative to the population at large. Immunocompromised people would be fucked. Elderly dead in droves. Though that’d cut social security payouts so maybe that’s a bonus to them.
Yeah yeah I know.
/kicks ground
It’s a good reminder of how things were the first time around, as we anticipate similar results coming in the next administration.
This article is from 2017.
Its is likely knowable information if she is still a registered republican.
Blue MAGA needs their Two Minutes Hate. They’re continuing their “you deserve everything you get” arc rather than doing any self-criticism about politics or its mechanisms or whether they shouldn’t have gone all in on genocide.
Democrats fucked up in all sorts of ways including with regard to Gaza.
Anyone who voted Trump still deserves what they get.
Lol
Watson also voted for Donald Trump, believing the businessman would bring change. She dismissed his campaign pledges to scrap the Affordable Care Act as bluster.
[…]
“I’ll give it a little more time,” she said. “But I’m not really sure about Trump anymore.”
“Nom nom” - leopards munching on face.
“trump” “business” and “man”
It takes a warped mind to cobble those words into one sentence.Unless the sentence begins with the phrase “Trump, the man who has bankrupted every business he has ever started.”
I actually hope she does so she will learn there are consequences.
We’re going to see these “news” articles resurface in here, a lot. At least until Trump takes office again and generates new content for this community. It’d be cool if this community could implement a “no years-old news posts” rule, until then.
Enjoy your face while you have an uneaten one.
7 y.o. article, but I hope her words
“I don’t want to go back.”
means that the Harris 2024 campaign resonated with her. well who am I kidding…
lol moron. I have very, very little sympathy for people who put themselves in this situation.
its not like she’s had a year to do some fucking research on the subject or anything
Why on earth would the news even give her the attention? I can’t imagine anyone going to the news saying they regret their vote less than a week after the election unless they merely seek attention.
Some people unfortunately genuinely are that short-sighted. An older relative of mine voted for Trump, but her gynecologist shortly after the election told her about what’s been happening with abortion laws basically forcing medical malpractice. She heavily trusts her GYN, and she was extremely distraught after hearing this, because she thought these were strictly targeting elective abortions (which would still be completely gross).
Still didn’t outright regret her Trump vote, but she absolutely was shaken, especially after I sent her the ProPublica exposé on the young woman from Texas. She seems a lot more open now to listening to things she previously would confidently dismiss as a lie/exaggeration by journalists or as a misunderstanding by me.
Let’s be honest… people that don’t know an Indian IRS agent demanding gift cards and Bitcoin is a scam shouldn’t be voting. There are a lot of people in America, whether is is some medication they are on, or undiagnosed mental health issues, that are highly susceptible to misinformation and scams. I’m sure people at the mall selling $500 miracle face cure love them though.
Maybe we shouldn’t worry about their eligibility to vote, but us allowing them to live in such a toxic information environment.
Things like toxic information environment are often defined by those who are in control and monetary interests. People inherently have biases in almost everything they do and what they spend their money on. If you want to get rid of these biases and misinformation, you pretty much have to do away with money entirely.
Since that likely will never happen, I think it is upon voters… especially Democrats, to not demonize everyone. People might not remember every policy of a previous President, but they sure as hell remember when they are attacked nonstop. Heck, they may even “forget” some things about who they might be voting for because subconsciously they don’t want to remember the trauma for being attacked when they legitimately didn’t know.
I’m not saying you’re advocating for censorship, but I want to be clear that I don’t think it is a good idea to have a single authority telling you what you should and shouldn’t trust. The MSM already tried that and it failed miserably this election.
We can take basic protections. Hyper engagement optimization should be illegal because it makes hate and bait float to the top, and there’s nothing “biased” about that. Even tech giants would probably swallow it, as their competition would be on a level playing field.
Regulations will NOT happen.
As some of the other comments pointed out, this article was from 2017. They are just resharing now because nothing is different, and this time, it will most likely happen.
