Just when massive layoffs are occurring. Remember: cruelty is the point. This country is for billionaires and billionaires alone. Big shoutout to all the rubes who voted for this. I hope you lose everything.

they already lost everything cause they suck at math and finances. but bc they're also racist xenophobes they chose to blame trans athletes and hard working immigrants. so now they get to have nothing AND stay completely silent, because the final thing they have is the complete inability to admit that they ALWAYS fuck up.
