    “this is NOT what I thought I voted for when I knowingly voted to be taxed on all foreign food and to lock up the people picking domestic food” …Well, then what did you think you were voting for?

    I’d be curious to find out what all of these “this is not what I voted for” people thought they were actually voting for and why they thought that

      They thought abusing brown people would magically fix all the things they told were bad like universal healthcare, feeding children, and safety regulations.

      They actually thought things would be cheaper with tariffs because Trump said so. They are hateful morons.

    $300 for one meal? How many people is she feeding??

    Kroger

    Oh, so like 5.

    Aldi forever. No, it is not the same company as Trader Joe’s if you’re wanting to talk about union busting. I say this because it happens every time.

      Dude, we got an Aldi in my town, and I love it. Sure some of the stuff is different, and even has a tad different flavor…but I almost always feel my heart aching with relief when I see how much we get from Aldi with such low prices. My food stamps go so much further there. Thst place is a blessing to me and my family.

        I bet someone she knows explained it to her, but rather than let herself be convinced, she doubled down.

          Absolutely. She 100% heard the explanation and ignored it because “that’s just lies against my big beautiful president,” and went on her way. I literally just went through it with my Trump voting uncle. I went through what he did that has directly hurt him. The response? I watch too much news.

          Biggest fight I ever “started” with them was… Asking what specifically about Trump 1’s tax policy benefit them. I mean I know that I asked it because I knew that they didn’t make nearly enough to actually see a single cent of a tax cut from that round in 2017. But apparently his wife really didn’t appreciate my asking about it because all I got in response was “Doesn’t matter, still voting for him” after she specifically brought up taxes as the reason again mind you. I just asked her what specific benefit they got from his tax cuts. But I heard from my Mom that apparently I made that aunt really mad.

          So mad in fact I have literally never seen her since actually come to think of it. They divorced not long after that, she moved to PA and is a fucking gay rights conservative which is fucking wild.

            Your uncle?

            This is what you call Oppositional Defiance Disorder, plus also being in a death cult.

            https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/oppositional-defiant-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20375831

            Even the best-behaved children can be difficult and challenging at times. But oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) includes a frequent and ongoing pattern of anger, irritability, arguing and defiance toward parents and other authority figures. ODD also includes being spiteful and seeking revenge, a behavior called vindictiveness.

            These emotional and behavioral issues cause serious problems with family life, social activities, school and work. But as a parent, you don’t have to try to manage a child with ODD alone. Your health care provider, a mental health professional and a child development expert can help.

            These are adults with an adult version of a pathological vindictiveness that is generally seen in ‘problem children’.

            They literally are whiny, pissy, adult toddlers.

    But I was told prices are going down, they’re the lowest they’ve been since his first term. It’s all Joe Biden’s fault. And transexuals.

    No - actually that’s exactly what you voted for - you’re just too stupid and/or lazy and/or blinded by hate to realize that, or too dishonest to admit it.

    Well gosh, I feel sad that you had absolutely no warning that something like this could happen.

    Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.
