“It’s breaking me. And there’s nothing that can be done for it, unless the president does something,” Michalski said about her skyrocketing power bills, adding she no longer supports Trump. “And I don’t see him doing it. He’s had plenty of time.”
There it is.
And the article reads as a sad story of people from rural West Virginia who have such a hard life, so few resources for their needs, but continue to vote against their interests.
Against theirs and those of many people of marginalized communities, because of an incredible lack of empathy in the latter case, it seems to me.
These poor people want so desperately to be rescued by Trump, who gives less than 0 shits about them.
If only Joe Biden didn’t jack up their utility rates so high…! (/s)
You mean Obama? Trump keeps talking about Obama still. He’s demented.
He’s racist. He refuses to believe a black man did a better job than he ever could. It’s why the situation in Iran is so fucked
Yep…crazy to think that Obama’s light-hearted roast of mushroom dick eventually led to all this madness.
Pedonald was already doing his king of the birthers bullshit at that point. And soooo many cons rallied around all the crazy birther bullshit. They so very hoped to somehow remove Obama because of it.
So do sooooo many of the cons. Having a black President broke their brains. I suspect they hate Biden so much because Biden was his VP, and consider him a race traitor.
Trump, who gives less than 0 shits about them
Oh its a lot worse than than, he actively hates all those people, but he has this really strange ability to make the people he hates feel like he loves them?? Its super weird.
“It’s breaking me. And there’s nothing that can be done for it, unless the president does something,”
This is a huge part of our problems right now. A lot of people look to the president to fix everything. The president is powerful, but they’re not that powerful. And thank god for that. If the entire US relied on just one person to fix everything, that would be absolutely terrible, and that’s even if that person were super smart and ethical, which of course our current president is not.
The people we should be looking to, at the Federal level, are Congress. But of course we all know how ineffectual they are. Feels like they might as well not even exist, sometimes. Though, there are some real structural reasons for their ineffectiveness: the incredible influence is moneyed interests in our politics, for instance, and the fact that a representative in the House represents over 700,000 people! For comparison, each member of the Canadian parliament represents about 120,000. Even that’s high compared to a lot of European democracies. Each seat in Norway’s parliament represents about 33,000 people.
But, the people of West Virginia have another representative body they can look to: their state legislature. Each seat in West Virginia’s House of Delegates represents about 17,000 people. You don’t have much of a voice at the Federal level, but you have much, much more of a voice at the state level. The people who can best help West Virginia are West Virginians.
A felon pedophile whose university and charity were shut down due to fraud went back on his word?
Knowing him. He didn’t like being laughed at for going bankrupt so now he’s doing it to us
Trump made lots of promises. That’s the thing most people don’t seem to understand about liars, they lie. It’s ok though let’s vote for the lying liar that always lies, he won’t lie to me because he hates woke too so we’re on the same team.
…
Well that sounds like a promise we can definitely trust as it’s given to the people who put him in power and trusted him with their lives and welfare… /s
Dear Iran, do not count on any of Trump’s promises
But I thought we should all move out of expensive states to live in cheap states if we can’t afford to live in the good areas!
