    The best part is that this was known long before he was elected the second time.

    Any one who goes “I was lied to!” is straight-up just an idiot who regrets that they had to feel a consequence. At best they’re just mind-bogglingly ignorant of how the world functions which is no excuse.

      I agree with you. Everyone who voted for this, or even worse, didn’t vote at all, deserves to get their healthcare, job security and retirement destroyed. And I will laugh at them when they start crying. What a bunch of worthless idiots.

      Is this mean? If so I’m not sorry.

        I don’t agree that they should lose their human rights. Dehumanization is a step too far for me.

        I believe there is some level of healthcare that is a human right.

        I don’t think “job security” or “retirement” is a human right, though I think we might be in a post-scarcity world (where anyone can “retire” if they wish) and we just aren’t acting like it.

          You don’t think retirement is a human right or at least should be? Like “congrats on working but you didn’t make enough and no I don’t care why so I guess you’ll be working until you die granny!” You can’t bust in here like claiming a higher level of morality and then saying “let’s pump the brakes on the healthcare a little I mean let’s not go *crazy amirite?”

          Anyway, these people voted for everyone not like them to lose their human rights, down to not allowing them to exist while queer or be born in the country to immigrant parents. And so when they lose them too, yea it’s pretty funny. They are getting what they asked for, including the cruelty they cheered on and/or brushed aside, and are crying about it because they aren’t the big strong tough guys they fantasize about being.

            In a post-scarcity society, no one should have to work. But, if there is scarcity, I don’t believe those with less-working-time should (important EDIT) NOT be forced to provide for those with more-working-time.

            I do think government-organized retirement is a good thing, but I don’t feel it is a human right.

            let’s pump the brakes on the healthcare

            I didn’t say that. I think healthcare in the U.S. is woeful, and hardly anything that is a human right is provided as a right. And, we should massively expand the availability of healthcare.

            I did imply there are some medical procedures that I don’t believe are human rights. Depending on who I’m talking to, we might even disagree whether a procedure is medical or not. Some people swear by their chiropractors or essential oil treatments.
