      They have a proud heritage of voting to get kicked in the nuts by Republicans and blaming Democrats for it. Please respect their idiotic decisions.

      You have voters who are so brainwashed that even if they fully believe that Trump screwed them will still vote for the next GOP candidate.

      At best, they will stay home and refuse to vote.

      But all a challenger has to do is remind them that Argentina got $80b from their “America First” president.

    So the countries we export animal feed cornmeal and ethanol to are really gonna be sad. They will have to get that shit from one of the many other countries that want to be primary suppliers of the massive amounts inedible corn we turn into a few burgers.

    I’m sure the tariff refund. The check for like a month of healthcare. The DOGE refund. Will solve all of their issues.
