  I wonder how betrayed the people in the Appalachian feel when their supposed “own” Vance stood for this.

    As a current US citizen, you are correct.

    Soon to be a former US citizen.

  At this point I hope Trump fucks them all so hard their grandkids feel it and they can never retire, just toil away on the farm every day until they die.

    Realistically if the Cheeto in chief doesn’t fuck it up the big telco vendors will just take it and provide nothing like all the previous attempts.

  Rural America voted for this.

    In fairness, rural America probably didn’t entirely understand the implications of said vote.

    As I’ve pointed out on here before, I feel like a lot of people in mostly-Republican-voting rural American are going to be even more disappointed when they discover agricultural subsidies ending, healthcare subsidies ending that disproportionately benefit poorer, rural areas, illegal immigrant agricultural workers that farms rely on becoming unavailable, counter-tariffs that tend to target agricultural output from rural areas, etc.

      Zero sympathy available for those who voted for 🍊💩ler.

      They can all go fuck themselves. With no fast internet.

      At this point I can’t comprehend what the MAGA reaction would be to an alteration or removal of the 2nd amendment. Republicants aren’t using it in the most warranted situation this country has ever seen.

      🍊💩ler has done all but literally wipe his ass with the constitution that republicants used to defend tooth and nail.

      I don’t fucking care.

      They’re gonna have the day they voted for. I am completely out of any fucking sympathy for idiots who vote against their own interests and well being. Entirely fucking done.

      That’s not the point. They voted for this, so they are responsible for this.

      The right realized a long time ago that propaganda is way more interesting to the common folk than education. I don’t know how to turn that ship back. It naturally evolved into the cult that you see today.
