I don’t have any sympathy for anyone who voted for Zero and finds himself in dire straits in the future.
It is going to bring down everyone. I work at a library heavily dependent on property tax revenues where there had already been talk of layoffs and sick to the back of my teeth. Boss and some co-workers were as giddy as 2008. Whatever. The only upset I overheard was a deeply embarrassed black custodian. I can’t even imagine the horror of a racial association. He mentioned the president practically selling papers out of the White House that were playing “Russian Roulette” with our lives.
I’m having a hard time mustering up any sympathy for most of the people on the east coast, simply because the majority of them got the government they deserved. Their own policies and electoral choices have hindered their ability to recover, and I’m wondering if it might be good for them to get mugged good and solid by their own choices so they will get their heads screwed on straight. Might be the teacher in me, but this is a “teachable moment”.
For those who are not complicit in the bad governance, I am so sorry that they have to be stuck to the same fate as the others. Just like I’m sad that my kids’ future is similarly tied to the ball and chain of all the idiots who voted for Obama.
