"I liked his policies, mainly his support for education and affordable housing, said Shirley Wong, 70, of Bensonhurst, referring to Mamdani. "He seems to listen to us."
But less than a year ago, Wong cast her ballot for Trump. She cited the influx of migrants in her neighborhood, as well as the cost of living under President Joe Biden. But now, Wong said she regretted voting for Trump, citing the Big Beautiful Bill's projected cuts to Medicaid
Please note that the first paragraph in the screenshot does not refer to Trump. It's still a Leopard eats my face moment, but not sure to the affordable housing stuff.
An alarming number of Americans (and people around the world) just vote on vibes. That's the only way you can explain voting for a fascist one election and immediately pivoting to a democratic socialist.
Bensonhurst has always been a heavily immigrant area - now it’s Asians, before it was Italians and former ussr. It’s kind of weird that she has a problem with it….
She didnt do that though. She voted for a cunt promising to cut shit she needed and then didnt change her mind until the exact thing she needs was cut. Thats not really learning in the way you need to learn to have a functioning society. Its still narcissism and individualism.
Trump promised he wouldn't cut Medicaid. The thing you should fault her with is that she still didn't get that Trump lies about everything after demonstrating that for his entire public life and an entire presidential administration.
maybe my standards are just lower now because I still see idiots cheering trump as he is literally killing them and stealing their money so long as they think he is "owning the libs"
Shirley is a stupid cunt and a racist. I'll happily support her voting for Mamdani, but she's still a piece of shit and I hope she knows it and it haunts her. It doesn't, but I wish it did.
She hasn't learned anything. She discovered that her vote is now going to affect her. If it weren't specifically for the Medicaid cuts, she wouldn't be showing any remorse and would still be hoping Trump will take care of her brown person problem. She hasn't admitted that she was wrong, she's finding out that actions have consequences.
Fuck her. She deserves to be shamed just like every other Trump voter. Remember when being pro Nazi got you in hot water because of the shame it brought? We need to get back to that.
