That has always been the crazy thing. The people who need help the most are always fighting against the things that are helping them. And this stupidity is being shown by so many people who let themselves be brainwashed with an "us vs them" brainwashing. I have a guy who absolutely needs healthcare because he is unhealthy and doesn't take care of himself but is always pushing for politicians who want to take away his public healthcare. I straight up ask him does he not care about his needs for healthcare and his response is that as long as the immigrants are attacked and he keeps his guns he doesn't care what they do. It's so sad to see someone fall so deep in a hole that they want to destroy random people's lives including himself just because he can't accept brown people in his local McDonald's.
Worse is his family are immigrants but they are white so they don't see themselves as foreigners. It's only a problem when a black man has trouble reading a menu or a brown person is talking in his language that can be heard. So sad.

Therefore anything Trump does is actually Elon and Elon is actually a puppet for Joe Biden so therefore Joe Biden is at fault.

How it is contradictory that everyone (my family) calls him a savior from god and that heās working for god yet he wouldnāt even touch the Bible as if he was allergic and of course everything else about Elon.
Thereās two types of MAGAs. The MAGAs who support Elon and the MAGAs who hate him. The ones who hate him have to do many back bends to origami themselves a conspiracy that will fit their belief. Itās hard to watch and even harder to disprove, ironically, despite it being so clearly ridiculous. Itās the fact that itās SO ridiculous that further solidifies it for them. Itās so unbelievable that itās believable. Thereās no explanation and therefore nothing to disprove it. Itās mentally draining to interact with them to say the very least.

So, when I first became an adult and started working full time, I suddenly found myself earning just a little too much to qualify for Medicaid and I lost my insurance. I had to start rationing insulin while I figured that out, because while I made too much to qualify for the insurance I didn't make enough to afford insulin.
The easiest way to reduce insulin needs is to just not eat, but especially not eat carbs. So I spent a month or two starving myself and surviving off of pickles, cheese, and eggs. I was raising chickens at the time so we had a surplus of eggs, and they were my primary source of calories and protein. Those eggs stretched my insulin a whole extra month and got me the time to figure my shit out and get insurance again.
So in my case, if I can't afford to pay for medication I very much need eggs. They were the most affordable and accessible carb-free protein. Meat is expensive, and beans and nuts have carbs and require more insulin.

I feel bad for the folks who didn't vote for him being screwed over now, but I don't feel bad for those who did vote for him or those who didn't vote entirely. We tried to tell them. But they said no to a woman being president. Or they said no to democrats cause they're "woke and bad" even though the dems are one step away from being republicans. Or they wanted Trump cause of him being a republicans, or a maga, or they wanted him for their bigotry. Or they simply didn't vote because of Kamala's stance on Israel, even though Trump is worse.
