One of the great mysteries of our time is the large number of people who always, always, vote for people who will end up hurting them in some serious way.
The MAGAts are finding out that they were merely a means to an end, and the end is not going to be good for them.
Of course, they're just the latest "real Americans" to get fucked over by Republicans--and yet blame it on the Democrats, or the Blacks, or the gays, or the women, or...
Who began the full scale destruction of the middle class? Ronald Reagan.
Who shut down U.S. factories and then moved all the jobs to the Third World? The plutocrat owners of the corporations, 99% of whom vote Republican.
Who wants to take away ALL of whatever remains of our tattered social safety net? Republicans.
Take away food stamps, take away health care, take away consumer protection, take away ANYTHING that might benefit working class people? You guessed it. Republicans.
Who wants to give Wall Street the Social Security trust fund to "play"with? Gosh, could it possibly be the Republicans.
Who wants to give big business free rein to poison our air and water, to literally kill the planet, all in the guise of "deregulation"? Republicans.
Who hates unions with a passion, even though a strong union presence raises ALL wages, union and otherwise? Republicans.
Who wants us all to just roll the dice on preventable illnesses, vaccines be damned? Republicans.
All of these are facts.
But, come the next election, millions of "real Americans" will ignore all facts and vote their "beliefs".
And they believe in their guns, their God, and their various hatreds.
And the only consolation for the rest of us, the "unreal Americans", is that they will continue to suffer and die for their votes.
But, of course, they will blame all of their suffering, all of their problems, on, repeat after me, the Democrats, the Blacks, the gays, the women, "them".
