This has some real "Jews for Hitler" energy, by the way.

You voted for the robber baron with the LITERAL GOLDEN TOILET though

Have they tried not taking handouts and pulling themselves up by their bootstraps?

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

No, you see, their social support is ok, because they are down on their luck, through no fault of their own. Buts it's those other free loaders are the problem.

[-] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Take away everybody else’s social security & Medicaid, but leave ours alone!!!

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 93 points 2 days ago

My in-laws voted for him because - no joke - they didn’t want Kamala to give money to “poor people.” My in-laws are on social security and Medicare. They ARE the poor people. If they think we will be paying for their shit after benefits are cut, I’ve got news for them. FAFO.

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 2 days ago

"Those other people didn't earn it...like us. They are lazy welfare mommas. They need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, like we did."

- your in-laws probably

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

I was going to ask if the in-laws just use "poor people" as coded language for non-whites.

[-] xor@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago

of course… trump is hella racist and so is america and that’s why he won….
it’s just about impossible for someone to support him without being racist. that’s why when you pin a trump supporter down on “why trump though?” it’s always some bullshit reason, and if you break it down or disprove it, they eventually regress to “i don’t care”.
all their hypocritical outrage over supposed moral violations of the left? they don’t actually care about that… they just want to yell something at the anti-racist people and they can’t get away with overt racism just yet….

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I've straight up heard someone say that about her disability. She claimed she earned it by going through the stuff that traumatized her to unemployability. It's wild

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Said just before the leopard attack…

[-] zephorah@lemm.ee 75 points 2 days ago

This is what Trump ran on. This is what President Musk promised on Xitter pre-election.

Why would you think otherwise?

[-] ATDA@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

He also ran on 'i won't touch social security' and they heard the option they wanted to hear despite it being an obvious lie he will if he can.

[-] zephorah@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago

Yes, but it was mapped out pre election. Project 2025. I get it, no one wants to even skim a 996 page document, but it was all right there.

[-] pivot_root@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I doubt even Trump himself read it. That's a lot of reading. Or, in other words...

And bush sr. said “read my lips: no new taxes.”

When will people learn these fuckers are all liars? That shit was almost 35 years ago. We never learn.

[-] carotte 7 points 2 days ago

"they should steal the benefits of OTHERS not mine!!! 😡😡😡"

"others" often being Black people and immigrants…

[-] zephorah@lemm.ee 4 points 2 days ago

Or the fictional welfare queen.

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

"I'm going to have to dock your pay for speaking out of turn"

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago

Sorry, guys. You voted for this so the billionaires can deliver austerity to you, an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord of government largesse for themselves.

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 18 points 2 days ago
[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Exactly, your part in this is over, now you're just a loose end.

When dealing with the devil, NEVER, EVER put him in a position of power unless you have effective leverage.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago

Trump will not only cut their benefits and siphon off the money for his billionaire investors, he will convince them it's really better this way that they struggle to survive. Makes them stronger.

[-] Heikki@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago

Ahhh... the old if you think this is bad, imagine how much worse the next/other guy/party will be if I can get away with this much.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Well, what else are they going to do? Go woke, go broke! I mean, the Demoncrats will transition your boy at school, while forcing you and your spouse to sit through DEI re-education camps at work! And don't get me started on forcing everyone to eat bugs, own nothing, and have us switch away from fossil fuels!

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 31 points 2 days ago

i look forward to witnessing every detail of these gullible fuck trump voters coming to the realization that trump actually fucking hates them, and it's NOT in fact the mexicans' fault that their lives are shit

[-] mean_bean279@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

I come from a family of Mexicans who are all Trump supporters. In this case it is the Mexicans fault too. If I recall Trump support among Hispanics is some of the highest in Republican history with 45% of Hispanics voting for Trump.

This is all tongue in cheek of course. They’re all too stupid to realize what can, and likely will, happen to them.

[-] bassomitron@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Yeah, he polled highly among Hispanics in 2020, too. I legitimately do not understand it.

[-] adarza@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago

guessing they fall into one of two main camps...

good catholics voting against women's rights and perhaps not understanding the other things that go along with voting that way, and 'got mine, fuck you' aimed squarely at others following behind them, legally or not.

Fucking idiots. They deserve it. I don’t want them to suffer, but they deserve to. If only we all just didn’t shoot ourselves in the dick at every opportunity. Fuck them for doing this to themselves, and to you, and me. I hate this place so much.

[-] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 2 days ago

You get what you voted for. Kindly fuck off.

[-] DicJacobus@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

you did your part, and now you'll be left behind. MAGA!

[-] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It’s not cutting government programs, it’s cutting the amount of people needed to run a program,” Tillia told the Post. “They are cutting staff, which could actually increase the amount of the programs that we get.

Back in reality the only way to realize substantial savings is to cut benefits, those people eliminated are needed for you to get benefits at all and only Congress can create new programs.

Here she is a poor person on community assistance thinking she can support throwing people just like herself out of a job and somehow end up with more free shit.

Anyone think she will learn when they change her address to a slab of cardboard on the corner?

People are so gullible 🙄

My parents, who are (legal) immigrants (just like everyone in my family) are worried that "illegal immigrants" are taking away too much resources, also blames "Democrats" for the "migrant crisis". Says "illegal immigrants" shouldn't be "getting so much welfare" because then they (my parents) have less.

I'm like: Bitch, when they say "illegal immigrants" is a dogwhistle against people like us, they just don't see this BS. They don't want any immigration at all, "illegal immigrant" is just a cover used to justify any actions against all immigrants, legal or illegal.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 15 points 2 days ago

Wut?

That's literally his platform. May the dildo of consequences arrive with no lube and wrapped in sandpaper.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 15 points 2 days ago

Why should he take care of you? You have nothing to offer him anymore.

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

As intellectually consistent as some of these people think they are I'm sure they'll bend over backwards to defend benefits for the military and veterans. I mean if anyone knows how to pull up on bootstraps it's the military yeah?

What part of Trump being a spoiled rich kid being fed with a silver spoon, taking a shit in a literal golden toilet on his private plane and surrounding himself with billionaires who are notorious for making their fortune by exploiting other people's work and thinking that their fortune is indication of their worth as human beings made you think he would ever, ever, ever give a single crap about the well-being of low income people?

They just want you to be even more miserable so you're too desperate to make it to your next paycheck to ask for better living and working conditions.

[-] Bsher8365@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

And for next 4 years, responsibility for the resulting hardships will somehow be laid at the feet of Joe Biden and the Democrats.

Zero empathy for people this stupid honestly. May your suffering teach you the lesson you so sorely need

Leopards are going to eat better than those people over the next four years.
