They're only ok with it because they don't think it will effect them. They assume that the economic impact will be no big deal, and nothing will change with their current standard of living. They're okay with other people being hurt, though.

they’ll become believers. But it will take time, just like it has with Cohn.

They’ll learn just how important government is in their lives.

from South America.

Another win for the midwest!

Another win for Putin.

Is there ANYTHING Trump does that isn't a win for Putin?

They can't stand being told Obama was right about anything. It sucks. You might as well be talking to a brick wall.

The will give up their jobs, give up their health, give up their security, give up their children, give up their souls and try to tear down everyone along with it because they must hate their lives so much that they cannot tolerate anyone else around them.

If they can't make anything better or if no one does it for them then all they have is the ravings of a madman and that feeds the anger and fear that they refuse to do anything about in their own lives and everyone else must pay-and-pay-and-pay for it.

I'd have more compassion for them if they could ever face the truth and realize that the world is a much better place when people care for one another.

What misery it must be to be a Trump zealot.

Nothing else matters.

How many super-rich Televangelists (or their followers) do you imagine are Democrats?

To borrow from Airplane the Movie
They knew the risks, I say let them crash
If they go under, leave them. They have no problems doing it to others. The biggest mistake the left has made for the last 4+ decades is helping them because they're part of us (taking the high road, crap). Until they go under and are forced to reap what they sow, they're never gonna get it

As long as someone (us) is there to bail them out, they'll keep doing the same destructive behavior. They need to face the cold, hard reality of their actions. It's hard -- no one wants to see another person suffer (except maybe Trump, Dubya, Rumsfeld and Cheney), but we have to recognize that letting them bottom out is the best situation for all of us.

As long as we clean up their messes -- economic, environmental, sociological, etc. -- they'll keep doing the same shit.

Is because of social safeguards put in place BECAUSE of the result of the 1932 election.

They hate FDR almost as much as they hate Obama.

November can't come too soon.

Their hatred for the "elites" come from their resentment to being economically left behind. In my region of Florida, the economically vibrant cities are the blue ones. My city is mildly red, the nearest blue city is at least 1.5 times richer. My city is becoming more purple and it shows, the nearest blue city used to be more than 2 times richer.

I favor allowing red areas to collapse, the majority of voters in those places make decisions that indicate they prefer economic collapse and no services. Stop using funds collected in cities and surburbs to build roads, utilities, Internet into those places, let the rugged individualism that they insist they have get them through.

in the midst of rural farms. We rent 50 acres to a farmer and he is flipping out (he did not vote Trump). And while not all the farmers here voted Trump, most did. And they are afraid...all of them. A half dozen or so have already converted to cattle but those locked into contracts are totally screwed and they know it. Two big farm auctions yesterday in this area as well...mostly dairy equipment and big farm equipment.

So...you can not focus on saving them even though many are not Republican but just remember that there will be little left to save anyway. Big Ag will move in and buy all this land for next to nothing when it all collapses and then they will be in firm control of our food supply. This is a destruction made by man for a purpose. What's left of the family farms will be gone. So far the CSA'a are hanging in but with mounds of new paperwork (Trump is not deregulating for these small farms) and growing fees, they will not be far behind.

And all this will come home to roost in food prices.

I am angry as hell but I will not forget the many folks here who did not vote for this. I can't use a wide brush. And I will bet a whole lot of those gloating online aren't really who they say they are because the farmers I know have little time for online bitching.

I am right here with you in the midst of soybean farms. All the way to Indiana. The whole area is Republican.

I do know that just once the voters all up and down the river voted Democrat, shocking every one for the first time in 100 years. Just a few years ago. Let us see how they feel by November.

The tariffs will have really kicked in again. In Marysville the higher steel prices. The trains that unloaded auto parts, filled them with soy beans to ship back. That will be hurting them all

The Cinncinnatti/ Dayton corridor is now booming. But it is predicted that 59% of Ohio products are exports and will be affected.

All of it is heartbreaking.

We’ll see how these idiots feel when they can’t pay their bills. Unfortunately so many others will suffer as well.

I imagine when the libtards descend on their towns to attend the foreclosure auctions, they'll regret belonging to the cult.

for 'awhile'

with no govt programs to assist...that fucking karma again

In fact, I'm already seeing it...

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210796404

Deplorables need someone to look down on, not to join ranks with if and when misfortune strikes.

They could lose family farms that have been in the family for years...economic hardship becomes old quickly...easy to say this tough to live through it.

I want them to feel the bitter emptiness of seeing something that they spent years sweating and toiling for being sold off for a few pennies on the dollar. I want them to try to look for a job in their fifties with farming as their only skill. Fuck them. They don't care about anyone else, why should anyone care about them?

How pathological is that?

If they're cool with that, okay.

No tears here.

This clown is going to bankrupt us.

Target those bastards the way they target blue areas that face disaster and need national help. They voted for the disaster that is striking them.

Next time the DOW drops a few hundred points, watch how many gleeful threads hit the greatest page.

I can tell them that we will not be in much of a mood to help them WHEN we regain power.

Any one that’s poor or working class that votes republican. Votes against their own best interest

Is screw them. They despise everything that I believe in, why should I give one shit about them? When we are back in power, we should focus on helping purple and blue states (not that they need it, because most are run properly), just like Trump and republicans tried to screw blue states and cities with their tax legislation.

to minorities, his supporters will remain, even if hurt economically.
