Banda knows how that feels. She backed Trump in each of his three campaigns, motivated by her opposition to abortion. But when cancer came, the ensuing scramble to make ends meet was painful enough to rearrange her priorities, and she started to think about voting Democratic for the first time.

Haven't had a pure LAMF here for a while. And she admits that she might actually vote democrat next time, that's an improvement to the last dozen or so!

Maybe she's just fucking lazy and needs to pull herself up by the bootstraps.

After COVID killed my mom and 01/06 left me with PTSD, I am not the same man. There is no grace left in my heart. I'd tell her to her face, "I hope you die and your children scream for their loss." Is that evil? I do not care.

Yes it is. Weaponized ignorance would fit better.

Fair enough, but most similar articles right here go something like "I'm still going to vote Republican but seriously, how could he do this to me!"

I have a right-winger uncle who just died from pancreatic cancer. At the funeral even the gears inside his right-winger son's head started moving and he almost put together a cogent thought that a lifetime of voting against healthcare was a bad idea.

Then yesterday all he did was complain that he can't trust any politician.

then find out who killed the NCI cancer research funding from 1,100/yr to 11 in 2025.
I'm sure they will blame Barack Biden.

A reporter asked a Trump supporter at his stupid birthday military parade if it (the parade)was more important than cancer research and she said yes. They just can't be fixed.
