    Scardina says he voted for Trump and still supports many of the former president’s policies, but this isn’t what he signed up for. “Buyer’s remorse? I don’t know, a little bit,” he said.

    Nope. You don’t get to trot out that bullshit. Project 2025 was available online. Nothing would be a surprise if you’d been a little bit curious about it. The man is following a well-reported plan. You just lived in echo chambers that told you to feel good about him.

    Scardina isn’t alone. He says other contractors in the area are being hit hard too. “I know of one landscaper that lost nine or 10 of his whole crew he had and he’s just totally out of business all of a sudden, just like that.”

    Absolutely no sympathy coming from me.

    Yet most people are for all of this. Against the protests. They believe Trump, people! I don’t like it, but it seems to be what I’m seeing in report after report. We’re in trouble.

      I was thinking the same thing earlier. I wish bailing out was an option, but I can’t afford to leave.

    He heard Trump describing migrants as criminals and asylum seekers as frauds and thought that couldn’t possibly be describing his workers, who are not criminals or frauds.

    He didn’t stop to consider that the characterization was a lie.

    No one gives a fuck that you’re sad. You voted for this. You participated in harming those people. You don’t get pitty for having to confront the consequences of your actions. Maybe put more thought than “I don’t like taxes” Into your next vote, dumbass.

    And he’ll vote for them again because he supports them and thinks “they just did it the wrong way”. Dude, this is exactly the way they were always going to do it, but you never listen to the other side because they’re “woke”. And by the time you wake up, it’ll be too late for all of us. Not just the fascist USA, by the way, because corporations and their enablers now have free reign to deny science and avoid action until the rest of humanity is dying in a cataclysmic hellscape. But I’m glad you were able to avoid seeing a couple of people holding hands, I’m glad all this was worth it to you.

      That’s exactly it. Fox News demonizes and de-humanizes every minority group. I remember around 20 years ago, my grandparents got an openly gay couple as neighbors. My grandparents were shocked that their neighbors were just regular people.

      They had watched enough conservative media that they had been convinced gay people were some sort of twisted abominations who were out to destroy our way of life.

      Conservative media does that for every minority group (except the rich). Gays, immigrants, single mothers, the poor, atheists, trans people, educated people, etc. You name it, Fox News and co are constantly pushing this idea that anyone not like you (their audience) are your enemies and are trying to destroy America.

    I thought this was double leopards eating his face (hiring illegals and voting for trump…), but it is just one leopard, in the sense that they had valid visas and asylum applications so he doesn’t seem to contradict himself, he’s simply stupid for voting for trump and expecting rationality.
