Trump Voters Find Out Karma's a Bitch

Here's yet another story about Trump voters who supported him because he was going to hurt other people and are now sad to learn that they too will take a hit. This time around, it’s not farmers hit by a trade war or people shocked to learn that their immigrant loved ones are also going to be deported.  

Now, it’s senior citizens living at the River Bend Resort and Golf Club in Brownsville, Texas, who
are facing the prospect of Trump’s border wall being built right through the middle of their community.  Fifteen holes of the golf course and 200 homes could be on the wrong side of the border wall, and residents worry that the key code-operated sliding gates proposed for the new border barriers will malfunction.

“You’re fixing to fence 400 U.S. citizens behind a wall with a gate and most of them have medical problems,” one man told The New York Times, saying that ambulances are needed at the complex at least three times a week. “If our gate fails, somebody’s going to die.” Oh, so now fencing people up and denying them medical care is a bi

Resident Susan Kaper said that “If there’s a good purpose for having that wall cut right through our little community, I guess I would go along with it. But I’ve yet to hear any reason why to do that.”  In the same interview, Susan also said (I'm not kidding here) that it would be “silly” to base her 2020 vote on the wall.

Donald Trump declared a national emergency and took money from a power substation in Puerto Rico and multiple schools on military bases to get his silly wall built-- and it’s going to go through the middle of her retirement resort, leaving hundreds of people outside the wall, but it would be silly to consider a little thing like that when voting.   Another resort resident said, “None of us at our age need the additional stress,” but that doesn’t mean he won’t vote for Trump again in 2020. 

These are real actual people saying this nonsense.  How much sympathy can you have for moronic Trump voters who end up victimized by Trump’s policies?
