    Thats where I’m at with all this too. I have no sympathy left for these fucking morons as they watch their lives fall apart. They knew he was gonna do all of this but still voted for him despite it. Worst part is all of this won’t be enough to get most of them to wake up. They’ll be living under and overpass after burning through their savings and retirement funds ranting about how actually immigrants, brown people, LGBTQ people, and Biden are at fault for their situation.
