Oklahoma is already a failed state - look into child welfare and DHS. There are parts of OKC and Tulsa that look like a third world country - while the rural regions are mostly micro cults.
I wouldn't gloat over this one, because a huge number of people who didn't vote for it will also face the same consequences and many of them will suffer and/or die because they depend on social security for their main or sole income.
Nothing to be done at this point, all we have left is watching leopards eat faces. They wanted this damage. They wanted to hurt people they disagreed with. So yeah, we should feel schadenfreude or gloat when they shoot themselves in the foot because they were going to do this to others anyway. The math says that’s all we get. We shouldn’t be glad that they succeeded in accomplishing any aspects of their talibangelical manifesto of Project 2025 at all, but their willing support of an inept authoritarian and their whining that they get the same treatment should not be given a pass.
this doesn't really strike me as a 'leopards ate my face' moment, unless we're just meant to assume everyone living off of social security voted for cheeto hitler. or is this community just becoming a place for laughing at the misfortunes of united statesians in general?
closer to 25%, actually. about a million voted for trump, out of about 4 million total oklahomans. regardless, this article isn't about trump voters specifically getting fucked over, and rueing their own stupid actions and choices, this is about elderly and disabled people throughout the country, regardless of their voting history, getting fucked over. seems off topic for the sub.
Yep, I'm seeing more and more blaming all Americans no matter that almost as many voted for Harris as for trump and no matter how hard so many worked to defeat him. So no surprise they're fine with innocent people losing their social security.
