No Red State Republicans, I won't be outraged for you now that you're mad.

Heard from some relatives of mine in Pennsylvania. My in laws actually.
Have voted for the GOP forever and Trump this time around.
They just found out their GOP Statehouse and Gov failed them.

Turns out PA is one of several states that have not upgraded their driver's licenses to have the non counterfeit-able holograms on it and they found out they won't be able to get on a plane for trips after next January with their current state issued ID
They would need to buy passports to travel on a domestic flight.
They are older, don't travel much except to fly out here to CA to visit us
They are on fixed incomes so the cost of passports is prohibitive.

They expressed their anger on Facebook and I let them have it.
A GOP state senator wrote and passed a bill that PA would not submit to "federal gubmint" regulations passed after 9/11 so they get what they voted for.
If they were never outraged about folks down south being jobbed out of voting rights with the GOP making them jump through hoops, pay through the nose and try to find an ever dwindling supply of DMV offices because they don't want black people to have ID's that will let them vote why should I, or them, care about your ID problem? It's all connected. All GOP policy at work.

My wife was mad at me and upset because it's her parents but I was like "elections have consequences"
So I was like "we'll buy them passports if we have to but the rest of the state is screwed and fuck them for it."
They don't like it, then they have to stop voting against their own interests with the GOP all the time.
and that's how I feel about the rest of the red states right now too.

Outrage? For you? When you lose your Social Security or get a coupon for your Medicare?
Angry for you? I don't think so.
I'm going to work to protect my blue states and the liberal parts of the country that can fight.
Maybe we can stem the damage that will be done by Trump, Ryan and Co.
You are on your own red state GOP voters. Enjoy that rugged individualism you embrace so much.

Sorry for my liberal brethren in those red states but Trump, Ryan, McConnell told these neighbor suckers of yours what they wanted to do, the suckers voted for them, and now they will do it because Democrats will not obstruct EVERYTHING like the GOP did to Obama.
So America is going to get what it wanted.
God save them all.
