    I know this community is sort of for mocking these people but if this part of the article doesnt show how hard some of these republicans lives are then I dont know what does:

    ““In the last 14 months, five of my customers have committed suicide. That’s how serious this is,” said another Arkansas farmer who also works as an ag equipment financier.”

    Maybe we should be helping each other instead of kicking people while they are down, so they might not have voted for trump to begin with.

      Conservatives aren’t failed liberals, and liberals aren’t failed conservatives. At some point, like now, we have to let them fall to their consequences and be done with it.

      Five suicides are hard? No. Five suicides are consequence.

      I’m done feeling sorry for people who can’t think for themselves. These results are because of someone’s actions, and those actions were not mine. You want someone to help? Vote for a government that will help make people smarter not strip away their education and leave a bunch of dumbfounded idiots behind

      Sucks to suck. Financially stable (i.e. blue) states could bail them out today and in a week, they’ll harbor just as much resentment for them damn librulls as they did before.

      Probably more once they soak in a Kremlin-concocted marinade of lies about how the Democrats did it to them in the first place and forced them to shamefully beg for relief. Oh, but also, they’re self-made gumptiony bootstrap-puller-uppers who made it all on their own by the sweat of their brow. Can’t forget that.

      Yeah, golden rule and all, but they have absolutely earned the contempt they’re getting, with interest.

      They voted for Cheetolini so he would hurt others because they are sadistic assholes. Now they’re complaining that the bully in chief is bullying them. They deserve every inch of this.

      Reminds me of that bash.org quote: “The biggest problem with America is stupidity. I’m not saying we should kill the dumb, but why don’t we take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?”

      Except in this case we kept on putting warnings and they shot themselves anyway.

      They weren’t kicked when they were down. They actively rejected policy and party that could have helped them or their kids. They kicked themselves in the head and want to be bailed out.
