Everyone told them Trump and Elon used migrant work, that they didn't care about American workers in the slightest. That Trump was a rapist, pedo, and scammer. They didn't care. None of that mattered to them. Electing Trump wasn't about any virtues or policy. Some MAGA will claim it was, while filling in the blanks with virtues or policy that NEVER applied to Trump's campaign, because that's what MAGA does, they fill in the blanks left by Trump saying everything is gonna be great again.
But for the vast majority of people, MAGA is about owning the libs and unleashing their anger at society on poor people and other already marginalized people, instead of directing their anger at the billionaire class.
They don't like it? They don't like that Trump and Elon are already giving them the middle finger? Fuck em. Fuck em all. They can rot in the unemployment office while figuring out where to get the money for their next fentanyl fix.

The next 2-4 years are going to be spent going "You don't like it? Life is tougher now? Tough shit, you voted for this, we told you this would happen, and you wouldn't listen. All because you wanted to own the libs."
They're gonna be struggling to buy eggs while Kamala vacations in Hawaii because she was already independently wealthy and conservative policy benefits her.

No, they don't. The #s of H-1B visas approved for all US companies are open to the public. You could even look up their starting salaries. Tesla H-1B visa holders approved in 2024 starting salaries were between $73,000 and $294,726, median pay was $145,000. If they are too stupid to look it up, that's their problem.

I have $100 that they are going to state "Why are you gloating?" in some fashion when that brought up.
Nobody is going to be gloating. Nobody. The only thing we are pointing out is, "You wanted to put a large amount of salt in your coffee because you thought it would taste good because it tasted good on other food. We are telling you that it wasn't. You decided to double down and put more in it and now are complaining about how disgusting that is. You decided this, you wanted this, you deal with the outcome."
If you actively voted for Trump, especially when you normally vote for Democrat, you literally have no right to complain if Trump now basically throws you aside like a $130,000 hooker. At least with the hooker, she got something out of it. All you got was disappointment and shame.
oh you mean like when republican voters complained about how all of reagan's campaign promises were bullshit and he immediately made their lives worse?
or when republican voters complained about how all of reagan's campaign promises were bullshit and he continued to make their lives worse?
or when they complained bush sr didn't do fuck-all?
or when they complained bush jr made their lives worse?
or when they complained bush jr made their lives worse a second time?
or when they complained about how trump made everything worse?
and now they're gonna complain about trump 2 electric boogaloo making everything worse?
trump will be blamed for shit by democrats, and democrats will imagine this mythical republican voter who's brain operates on the concept of time being linear and effects following causes and get giddy thinking about owning them with "orange man bad?" bumper stickers cuz teeheee that'll show 'em!
if you want to see reality just look at tehdang or concerned, and read their posts - this is the best that regressive ideology has to offer.
they start with a conclusion: "regressive politics is good, regressive social order is good, trump is good" and then work backwards from there.
since they already know the conclusion, all evidence is evidence for their conclusion, there is no such thing as evidence against it because the conclusion has already been determined.
nobody will blame trump for anything, and even if they do in 4 years they will not apply the logic that "hm the last 6 republicans have been scumbag losers that made my life worse maybe i should stop voting for republicans" because again, the conclusion has already been determined that republicans are good and thus if reality contradicts that conclusion reality is wrong.
Na, conservatives will create an alternate reality that these things are actually good. They don't really follow facts and logic generally, its really about believing something is good like its a football game and their side is to be cheered for no matter what.
I expect to hear "I'm glad that I pay $9 for eggs because part of it goes toward deporting them illegals" or some such nonsense. Won't matter if it's not true, won't matter if it doesn't make sense, because whoever tells them "it's good, actually" will be from the same crowd that has been telling them how to feel about everything for years.

They are coming to grips with having to agree with Trump and Elon and want more immigration OR come to grips with not agreeing with them. Right now, they are having trouble doing that.
It is no different than a computer trying to solve The Liar Paradox.
Either their brains will crash out or they will just pick a side.
Oh look Musk is back to gradually reverse engineering Twitter after people were mean to him for being pro immigrant.

“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.” ~ Emily3, World of Tomorrow
Words to live by.
Oh hey guys, I just realized, Elmo Musk is going from an algorithm that promotes negativity and hate (under Biden) to an algorithm that punishes "negativity" for Trump.
Twitter is all but a propaganda vehicle for Elmo and conservatives to push sentiments on the general populace that still use this accursed app.
