That is an occasional roundup of people that voted for Donald Trump and are shocked to search out out nobody is immune from the harm and ache he causes. Many at the moment are grappling with the results of their selection because it impacts them and their family members—and probably regretting their vote.
At the moment, we’re main with a deplorable who’s livid she will’t get low cost crap from China anymore, after which taking a look at Trump-supporting Venezuelans, Muslims, and farmers.
Let’s get to it!
This one is enjoyable:
Say goodbye to low cost Temu and Shein crap from China. After all, each considered one of Donald Trump’s voters ought to have been ready for this—he ran on making stuff from China costlier. But here’s a case the place individuals have been comfortable to consider his nonsensical lies.
And earlier than anybody needs so as to add their blame trump for every thing bs and say that is what you get for voting for Donald J. Trump I do know what trump mentioned he mentioned the tariffs can be on china New Mexico and Canada not on Americans.
Apart from her wanting tariffs on New Mexico for some cause, that is past insane. Trump lied. She is now seeing the real-life affect of that lie, validating every thing Democrats and economists and affordable individuals warned would occur, and he or she’s … doubling down on her love for Trump.
Tariffs aren’t paid by governments. They’re collected by governments, paid by importers, they usually cross these prices on to customers. It’s a freakin’ tax. Congrats, this individual voted to lift costs. And in the event that they’re indignant now that costs are rising, possibly cease with the MAGA shit.
Doral, Florida, in suburban Miami, hosts one of many largest Venezuelan communities within the nation. Sixty-one % of town voted for Trump—considered one of his greatest performances in Miami-Dade County. Trump obtained solely 28% of the vote within the metropolis in 2016 towards Democrat Hillary Clinton, and barely gained it in 2020, with 50.4%. The town’s transformation has been dramatic, all to Trump’s profit.
So it’s kinda humorous that one of many first issues Trump introduced was the rescission of Non permanent Protected Standing for Venezuelans (and Haitians). Cue shocked Pikachu face.
Kristi Noem, the secretary of the Division of Homeland Safety
“Bear in mind,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told NBC, “Venezuela purposely emptied out their prisons, emptied out their psychological well being amenities and despatched them to the USA of America.”
After all, Venezuela did no such factor. That stems from Trump’s obvious confusion in regards to the time period “political asylum.” He thinks it means psychological well being establishments—previously often called “mental asylums”—as a result of he’s among the many dumbest human beings to ever stroll Earth.
Now Venezuelans are shocked this mendacity bigot is focusing on them. “Beyond betrayed,” one girl informed NPR. “They used us. During the campaign, the elected officials from the Republican Party, they actually told us that he was not going to touch the documented people. They said, ‘No, it is with undocumented people.'”
How gullible are you able to be? Trump promised to deport authorized Haitian residents from Springfield, Ohio. He even promised to revoke birthright citizenship, which is assured within the Structure. His messaging has all the time been virulently anti-immigration in terms of individuals of coloration.
As I usually say: Folks believed Trump’s lies, didn’t consider his truths, then made up issues Trump by no means mentioned with a view to justify voting for him. It’s gobsmacking.
In that very same camp are many Michigan Muslims. A big share deserted the Democratic Occasion in droves and opted as a substitute for a harmful mixture of voting for Trump, voting for Inexperienced Occasion candidate Jill Stein, and never voting in any respect.
Now that Trump is asking for displacing all Palestinians from Gaza (a lot to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s delight) and for the U.S. to “own” the strip, a few of these “Genocide Joe” and “Killer Kamala” voices are being … defiant.
Right here’s NPR:
“Abandon Harris”—one other, extra hard-line protest group beforehand often called “Abandon Biden”— launched a press release Wednesday condemning Trump for “grotesque statements” relating to Gaza. However the group additionally saved up its assaults on Biden and Harris, saying within the launch, “We refuse to equate Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric with the Biden-Harris administration’s concrete actions—actions that spanned 15 months of material, verbal, monetary, and political support for Israel’s genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.”
Netanyahu wished to hurt the Democratic ticket within the hopes of a Trump redux presidency—and it labored. The Biden administration did what it may to restrain Israel, and sure, I get that many thought of that insufficient, however there have been two selections in that election—Trump or Harris—and it’s clear which one would’ve been a forceful voice for ending the warfare and Israeli excesses. Now Trump has basically volunteered to deal with the ethnic cleansing himself.
Hilariously, the group “Arab Americans for Trump” simply modified their identify to “Arab Americans for Peace.” Good strive. You personal this, as do these of us:
It’s genuinely terrible for the Palestinians who didn’t vote for this shit, and obtained saddled with the worst, dumbest allies doable.
California farmers are among the most die-hard Republicans round. Anybody driving from Northern to Southern California on I-5 has seen the limitless scroll of billboards and indicators lambasting the state’s Democrats, blaming them for a scarcity of water. (Word that many of those farms are basically losing water on objective.)
So it’s considerably humorous to see these farmers abruptly get quiet as Trump has dumped a giant proportion of their summer season irrigation water in a weird publicity stunt.
Having incorrectly determined that the Los Angeles wildfires occurred due to a scarcity of water, Trump ordered water launched from two reservoirs. Not one of the water from these reservoirs ended up close to Los Angeles, they aren’t bodily related, however it did deplete a valuable useful resource—over 5 billion gallons, based on Trump.
“Not a single drop of the water released can get to Los Angeles—there is simply no physical connection between these basins,” Peter Gleick, co-founder of the nonprofit Pacific Institute, informed The Hill. “As a result, all that Trump managed to accomplish was to anger local water districts and farmers who lost more than 2 billion gallons of water that flowed, unused and unusable, into the dry lake bed of the Tulare basin, where it will be unavailable to farmers in the coming hot season.”
Farmland in rural Solano County, California, on Aug. 30, 2023
Any fields that find yourself fallow due to lack of water gained’t simply additional hurt these Trump-loving farmers—it’s additionally prone to drive up grocery costs. Almost each transfer Trump makes is inflationary.
That isn’t the one ache farmers can count on.
Agri-Pulse: “The incoming Trump administration has stopped payments to at least one major climate-smart commodities project, raising questions about whether farmers across the country will be reimbursed for practices they implemented under the $3 billion Partnerships for Climate Smart Commodities initiative.”
The Washington Put up: “U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo. That includes American farms, which supply about 41 percent of the food aid that the agency, working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, sends around the world each year, according to a 2021 report by the Congressional Research Service. In 2020, the U.S. government bought $2.1 billion in food aid from American farmers.”
Day by day Kos: “Nearly 60% of Nebraska voted for Donald Trump last November. There is perhaps no state more dependent on immigrants than Nebraska.”
