That’s true for many Americans, as rising healthcare costs leave more families with a sinking feeling after seeing the bill for surgery or medication. Heading into the Nov. 3 midterm elections, about half of registered voters said healthcare costs are a major problem for them and their families, up from a little more than one-third four years ago, according to a Fox News poll from September.
With party control of Congress at stake, registered voters are nearly twice as likely to say they trust Democrats over Republicans to handle healthcare, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll from the same month. Those frustrations, combined with broader concerns over rising prices, have sapped support for President Donald Trump and his Republican Party.
“I voted for the evil orange turd because of abortion, but turns out I should have cared about other issues too.”
And been aware of the actual facts of abortion, not what she was fed by the right to keep her voting for them.
That is exactly what cansir looks like too! WOW!
They’re always OK with other people not having healthcare but they’ll squeal like stuck pigs if it’s taken away from them.
It saddens me that I can’t bring myself to feel bad for her. Three fucking times she voted for this shit. Three. It’s mind-numbing and I hate it.
I think the thing I miss most since Trumps first run is my sense of empathy and sympathy. I used to have a belief of sure there’s disagreement and there’s room for it. Fuck that noise now. Republicans keep voting to hurt my friends consistently. At this point anyone says they’re a republican I assume they’ve lost all sense of humanity, and the head of their party at this point has zero redeeming qualities… even amongst his supporters his chronic backstabbing can’t stop.
I agree. It’s madness.
I keep coming back to the horrified astonishment I felt in late 2025. It was kinda excusable in 2016. But after already having seen what he did to the country for 4 years, and then after Jan 6…
And mind you, my demented, ever conservative, ever pro-capitalist and btw also pro-apartheid father, even he thinks Trump is an idiot who should be nowhere near political power.
What’s the answer here? Seems the USA have a deeper problem. I think it’s that particularly poisonous combination of consumer capitalism on steroids, and generations of lack of or plain bad education that’s often more aligned with capitalist interests. Oh and the history of “The American Dream”, i.e. hope that you’re the one out of a thousand who succeeds in raping everything and everyone around you for financial gain.
It was nowhere near excusable in 2016. You already had decades of information about who trump was and nearly a decade of the Tea Party showing you EXACTLY the kind of people they were.
I notice you skipped past the mounds of white supremacist bullshit that Americans are force feed during the course of their lives. The same cord that Trump was able to pull on to attract the white vote.
I stopped feeling bad for these morons a while ago.
They vote against our collective interests and then get platformed when it bites them in the ass.
Isn’t this “god’s judgment” that these weirdos are forever bleating about?
She has repeatedly voted so that only the wealthy get full cancer care. Do you know how many people give up on proven treatment because of finances? Hope you enjoy the bills you vored for, bitch.
enjoy the bills you vored for
new findom just dropped: finvore
doG, it looks like a seal!
I think you mean walrus. Seals are skinnier.
Elephant seal.
Pinnipeds (pronounced /ˈpɪnɪˌpɛdz/), commonly known as seals, are widely distributed and diverse carnivorous, fin-footed, semiaquatic, mostly marine mammals, belonging to the clade Pinnipedia. They comprise the extant families Odobenidae (whose only living member is the walrus), Otariidae (the eared seals: sea lions and fur seals), and Phocidae (the earless seals, or true seals), with 34 extant species and more than 50 extinct species described from fossils.
Agreed… all walrus are seals, not all seals are walrus.
You can’t evolve out of a clade.
Her on the way to the voting booth
Time and time again conservative voters prove they have absolutely zero empathy or concern until they are personally affected by something.
Fuck her, she got exactly what she voted for.
100% What a dumb bitch.
She voted for Trump in 2016, and his first four years seemed steady, so she voted for him again in 2020.
Yup, COVID was real steady
That line stood out to me too, letting my know this lady is completely full of shit. No one lived through 2020 and called it “steady”. She voted for other people’s suffering and is trying to claim it was about anything but.
She backed Trump in each of his three campaigns, motivated by her opposition to abortion
Oof
Maybe cancer can fix stupid.
“But but I said to the rapist! Go, rapist, go! Fuck that kid in the poosy! And now he come for me! Why, the rapist? Why?!”
Sorry, can’t feel bad for her. Also, $1300 car payment?
Re: $1300 car payments:
Many vehicles costing upward of 20k or more, probably averaging out for most makes and models to 30K +, no down payment or trade in, being pushed for a shorter term loan, and easily over 6% loan APR?
Yup…car payments get crazy. I put 7K down and had a credit score of 83X back in 2024 when I bought my 2025 Forester at 33K and the best APR I could get was like a 5.7%. My payments are around $520/mo.
Shit is WORSE today with inflation, tariffs, etc.
I just got a $19k car loan for about that APR for 5 years and am only paying ~$350. I actually could have gotten just under 3% if I used my bank, but they were too limiting in where I could buy from. My credit rating is 800+.
I used my bank and they only offered 5.6 or so at the time. Perhaps your got in at a lucky time. Not sure what bank you’re with. I’m, unfortunately, with Bank of America.
Yeah… never borrow from huge banks. Local bank or credit union if you can manage it
A credit union. I ended up with a loan from the bank the dealer works with though. From what I could tell, a small regional bank. Though, the dealer wasn’t in that region. 🤷
You’re surprised this dumbass makes poor shortsighted choices?
My deepest apologies for my intended snark not being appropriately communicated through the medium of text.
Car payments can vary wildly depending on purchase price, term and credit rating/interest rate. But if I were to guess, she got the trifecta.
