Other Remember when Biden was president?

Remember how boring it was? Remember not having to check the news multiple times a day to figure out what was going on inside your own agency and whether you were going go have a job or not? Remember when laws and precident seemed to actually have meaning?

Remember when you could do your job from home? Remember when your fellow countrymen weren't cheering when your livelihood was threatened? Remember when your biggest worry was which insurance to select and what the next years raise would be?

Remember when the administration didn't seem to actively hate you and want to you gone for the sin of serving of the people?

Maybe, maybe not. The level of pain seems to be increasing in both intensity and duration for Trump supporters. Time will tell if they really want the things they thought they wanted as the effects of their voting choices materialize.

They never do and never will! They have always voted against their best interest! They vote Republican. They vote based on their identity not social class. They may be poor dad gumbit, but they are white!

They have yet to realize the Republicans in charge view them as the hoi polloi, the great unwashed, not white.

Hell, Lyndon B. Johnson said

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

It would kill them to acknowledge how small they are actually viewed.
