Listening to news, Democrats and MAGA voters are both going to get a lot of painful news, when the other party is in power. I am not quite sure why the MAGA voters bother to watch Fox when they could just turn off the TV news for four years. Just watch entertainement. But they watched this.
A jogger was killed by an illegal alien. They are ALL criminals!
Those news items came daily, and the MAGA voters suffered watching awful things Democrats allowed. Because we defunded the police, apparently.
The facts presented by Fox are not facts. But the news clips offering the point of view were in fact real, mostly. They just did not represent the average. Or the statistically signficant.
Now they think: "They are getting a taste of their own medicine now!"
And we are in fact suffering with every week of Musk and Trump doing awful things.
We could, both sides of the debate, just sit back and assess what all this is doing to me. On the Fox viewer side, there was a belief that penniless immigrants were bringing fentanyl in their pockets to sell to their own teens in their community. They were a threat to joggers in every city, stealing and threatening. Because...why? They would not risk getting deported. The crimes, if any, were petty theft at best.
Now look at what we see happening under Trump. Medicaid gone, Medicare coverage reduced, rates going up on supplemental insurance. Human rights under attack as foreign looking people are rounded up. Do all of them carry their "blue card" at all times? No.
So the things we will suffer are all real, whereas the suffering MAGA felt would have disappeared by just turning Fox News off.
BIG GOVERNMENT
Did MAGA voters feel some sort of pain of negative feeling every while we still had a fully functioning government with FEMA and all the agencies? That was pushed by Fox News as well. But no, any angst they had about being suffocated by big government was all their own making. It does not compare in any way to the material suffering of being cut off from Medicaid and Medicare that we will get. The elder people will all go bankrupt before they die in this Trump World.
